Arriving Thursday.
I'm sure that I'll be the only 86 Saleen there.

Ditto on the weather. The Springfield guys did a nice job there ---- can you match it?  ;D

I had planned to take my GT350, but alas, family obligations have led me to cancel.

A real "want to do" for me, but when counting the costs, I could not afford everything involved. If I were to suggest "sleeping in a tent" to the wife, that wouldn't fly! Wife also needs to schedule the time off by (tomorrow) Monday, that is short notice for her. I could swing the gas costs in our 2005 GT and admission, food and all else but lodging puts us out of the game.

What else is coming up, before year's end within maybe 500 miles of the BIG "O"hio?

There are more inexpensive hotels near by in Lincoln. There is not admission cost for spectators and if you help judge you will get a free meal. The cost of our Friday night BBQ is $5.00.We have really tried to make our show affordable.
The only MCA national show left this year are Lincoln NE. and Savannah GA.

Pinnacle Bank Arena Festival Space (located between the Arena and the Haymarket Park).
Hi Marty,
     Is this the largest lot when looking from an overhead Google map? Am I assuming correctly that trailer parking will be on one of the other lots on the grounds of Haymarket Park? Do you know which one? Will we be directed to that lot for a 1 time park of trailers, unload and drive cars to the show field or are you using a staging area to unload and then move the trailers?
Thanks, Jimmy

Post by: ruppstang on July 29, 2014, 03:14:58 PM
The lot we are on holds 1600 cars. We will be parking the trailers on the west end of the same lot. There will be signage directing trailers to the west entrance. Once unloaded you must go back out the west gate and around to the east gate where all show cars will all be classified.

Cloney Bob:
What's the story with the glove box door and the large upside down lettering? Is that Saleen along a circular line?

Current plans are to make them available to current members here in the near future for a short period of time since we've had a number of requests.

Stay tuned for an announcement


Have a safe and enjoyable trip

Great show this weekend and great location...figured I would say as I head back to Arizona early tomorrow morning.  Really enjoyed the quality of cars this weekend, and people, some of which I have not met face to face before.  I posted pictures of the show on my Facebook page under "Anghel Restorations" since it is easier to share that way.  But I thought this was the best picture of the show I was able to capture.  Safe journey home to everyone else....

Apparently a fairly new facility

Great job by Marty & the local club. The weather was challenging at times, and I had my doubt about the venue at first, but it all really worked out nicely. Plenty to do/eat in the Haymarket area, nice show site, beautiful arena for the awards (Tom Osborne speaking too), and the Museum of Speed was INCREDIBLE. I spent WAY too much time cleaning, and really never "made the rounds".
Enjoyed judging the other classes of Concours Foxbody cars, and was able to bring home some more Gold in Concours Driven Saleen. Not a bad weekend at all!

Marty & crew literally poured blood, sweat and tears into their custom awards too. VERY nice!

Thanks for all of the kind words.
 We were very honored to have 415 of the finest Mustangs from all over the US and Canada attend our show. Our goals were to offer a event that was affordable, produce a event that was more than a MCA national a 50th celebration experience and that our own club members would have fun doing it. I think we succeeded on all counts.
I did not have much time to talk but it was nice to put faces with some of the names on this forum. Thanks for introducing your selves.
