National Marauder Roundup!

[Logan]

It's Official!

From www.funfordevents.com:

Mercury Marauder Round-Up At FFW World Finals

Fun Ford Weekend, with support from the Lincoln-Mercury Division of Ford Motor Company, will be holding the first ever MERCURY MARAUDER NATIONAL ROUND-UP in conjunction with the FFW 13th Annual World Finals, September 19-21, at the Dallas Motorplex, in Ennis, Texas.

The Round-up will be open to any and all late model Mercury Marauders. Classic Marauders from the '60's are welcome too. A special "Marauder Corral" parking area inside the race track will be set aside for the Marauder entries. In addition to the regular festivities of the FFW Event, the Marauder enthusiasts will make a "parade lap" in front of the crowd on Sunday and will be welcome to join the appropriate competition classes, including the famous True Street 30-mile cruise, as well as the FFW All-Ford Car Show (special Marauder Class).

An extra treat for Marauder enthusiasts will be a Saturday evening get together with special guest speaker, Mr. Steve Babcock, from Dearborn, MI. Mr. Babcock was the Mercury Marauder Project Manager.

Marauder enthusiasm is starting to roll in from all over the country; from as far away as the East Coast. This will truly be a national event. Hotel accommodations will be at a premium in the Ennis, TX area so make your travel plans early.

For more information, contact Bob Mathis, the event coordinator, at bjm03mm@entercomp.com or through the www.mercurymarauder.com website, or George Klass at george@funfordevents.com.

Trailer? Get in that thing and cruuuuuuuise, man!

[Marauderman]

Well. TAF ---Where do we hook-up..cause the wife and I are a coming--reservations are locked in all three days......so probably leave here and meet you in ALt somewhere on I-20 west I suppose....just a thought.....let me know your plans...would love to be in the "run west"...

So ...at least one NC MM'er is on the road..where is everbody else on the east coast?...

[RCSignals]

Marauder enthusiasm is starting to roll in from all over the country; from as far away as the East Coast.

Which is exactly what Mercury needs to take note of WRT the Marauder!

[Bigdogjim]

East coast marauders can contact me at Bigdogjim@att.net I will be happy to undertake the task of getting us all together. I plan to meet up with the Chicago group and the Atlanta crowd along the way. The more Marauders the better.

[TAF]

How 'bout some sort of a "roll-call" thread or post so we can start to get some numbers together (and starting points for the drive)?

[Logan]

Stay tuned, there will be a registration page up within the next few days...

[Bigdogjim]

Thanks Logan. Just what we will need.

[TAF]

[Logan]

Don't be all derailin' my thread.

[LincMercLover]

Todd did it! Come to think of it, Todd always does it...

[MAD-3R]

ANYWAY...
The wife and I are make serious noise of making it to Texas. I 81 South would be the route in to TN. We could meet up there.

[engine23ccvfd]

Just made my Hotel Res...the only hotel I could find (with Rooms in Ennis) was the Holiday Inn Express (on I45) using Expedia.com...Still some rooms in Waxahachie (not even close to correct SP).....See Ya'll in Sept (by the way I may have to go to a wedding this same weekend I will let ya'll know if I drop the room when we get closer to show time)

Stay Safe

Andy

[Logan]

FYI to folks making reservations, either Waxahachie or Ennis is fine. The track is half way between the two...

[vaderv]

I gots to get me a big black hat... Hopefully I'll see a bunch of you there...

[CRUZTAKER]

I was able to book a room at the Quality Inn, Ennis this morning.
I wonder if the girl was correct in setting me up? She seemed to know what she was doing. If not, atleast it's warm down there at night....

[prchrman]

Quality Inn - Oxy Moron...

Now I can't find it. They wouldn't have taken offense to that posting, would they? It's a NATIONAL event...not particularly a MM.net event.

Although I don't really participate over there I thought it was good folk...someone please prove me wrong.

[merc406]

Damn your right, gonna put it up again, we'll see what happens overnight.

[MM03MOK]

The post was there yesterday. I saw it.

[TAF]

BigDog said he posted something as well...and it's gone (of course HIS could have been deleted due to massive spelling errors):lol:

No need for a "site-war"...just don't understand the deletions.

Anybody REALLY plugged in over there that can get some answers?

[MM03MOK]

Where are you guys looking?? I see Merc406's (1 June 2003 at 22:46) and BigDog's (2 June 2003 at 10:07) posts on IMMC.

It's at the bottom under "General."

(I like our Board SO much better!!)

OK i just check over there and saw Merc406 but I did not find mine?

Maybe they fixed the spelling errors and I did not see it:confused:

Please do not :flamer: TAF I told him I could not find it:help:

[TAF]

I ONLY see Larry's post. Don't see the other 2...if you say it's there then its there and that's fine. Sorry if I started something which was not the intent. I'd seen the original post and went there today to see if any over there had responded. Maybe it's because I'm not as familiar with that board, but I just went to ALL "General" and went to the bottom and see only Larry's.

Sorry for the false alarm.

[Bigdogjim]

I agree TAF I see Larrys and your resonse only?

I guess we are ALL dumb cavemen :P

I only see Tods post of 6-2-03 at 21:something hours .
I have never been able to get the registration thing to be a member to work over there, so I don't go, because not only I can't post, I can't even find the posts to post to....
I know I need :help:

[merc406]

If you are logged in, their shouldn't be a problem, I never log out over their.

[CRUZTAKER]

Ahhh, back to square one. Getting in. The site staff was nice though, just can't correct the login problem. I'll try again some day. :)

[MMpridenjoy]

Count me in Bigdog, can meet you in Philly for the ride out there. Will have to get a pack going....

[martyo]

Rob: Are you a definite???

Now THAT is the most profound thing posted here in MONTHS!!!

:up:

[SergntMac]

I think it's safe to say that if we can see IMMC, they can see MM.Net. Some of their posts are new, many are not. The site does not appear to have as much daily post activity and "news," as we get here. I'm willing to bet that everyone at IMMC knows about Ennis, and the Hershey meets, because most of the IMMC membership is already here. IMHO, just my .02c...

Hey...One paragraph, eh? Five sentences, 71 words...Go figure.

Who said there is no hope...

[Bigdogjim]

Well said Sarge: Not that you need me to throw in my .02. I would like to see a large trunout.

[merc406]

IMMC was the 1st Marauder hangout and was strong for awhile. Their are not enough early Marauders left out their for a rip roaring discussion on any one issue except maybe finding parts or a junkyard with a Marauder in it. The anticipation of the 03 brought it alive for awhile, but this site has the option's of posting pictures and is setup for just abut anything you can think of, thanks to Logan's forsight .

[Logan]

FYI folks, I've got the Registration page done, just running it by Bob Mathis to make sure it covers everything he needs...

It should be up this afternoon sometime.

[Accufab Racing]

I've had a couple of people email me asking about the cost of the Marauder Round-Up. This is what FFW will charge the attendees, based on what I know at this time.
Entry of Marauder (and driver) into the Marauder Corral: $20 for Sat. or Sun. or $35 for Sat & Sun. Additional people, $20 for 1 day or $35 for both days. This will entitle you to park in the Marauder Corral in the pit area, and no extra charge for pit pass or grandstand seating for the drag race. That's it. Now, if you also want to participate by running in the True Street class, that's $75. The Street Ford bracket class is $50 (good for Sat & Sun). If you want to enter your car in the Marauder class in the Car Show, it's $30 for 1 day or $40 for both days. The Friday Test & Tune is $25 (best guess on that one). All entry fees or tech cards to any of these race or show classes can only be purchased at the track. There may be an additional charge for "Marauder registration", or the Marauder Get-Togethers on Friday or Saturday evenings from Bob Mathis and he is working on that at this time, and trying to off-set some expenses through sponsorships and stuff. I just wanted everybody to know where we are from the FFW side.

[Bigdogjim]

Thanks for the update. Sounds like people are hard at work behind thier computer.

[Logan]

ALL,

Please visit THIS (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/nats.php) page to let us know you're planning on coming.

Click HERE (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/nats.php?action=attending) to see who's signed up so far. (This page has a small bug that causes it to take about 10 seconds to load, don't worry, it'll come up. )

[Marauderman]

judt my .02 c worth but the sign ups maybe should go to the front home page or special thread by itself so it doesn't get lost in here....but it's what we needed alright--good job Logan!

[MM03MOK]

Actually - it is on the home page, right under Weekly Chat - National Marauder Meet. The "Here" link takes you right to the registration page.

[Marauderman]

Ah-whoops--your right--like many here who have said it before me--should have looked a little more before speaking--but can't have enough eyes---can we!!...cause I registered thru the above without seeing the front page ....thanks...

[TAF]

Thanks Logan...

O.K. Let's see how quickly we can get the first 50 registered....

[engine23ccvfd]

Well I found out I wont be able to make it. I will be in Abilene for my wifes nephew who is getting married. He is a FF in the Air Force and will marry a girl in the Army....Crap Crap Crap!!!

Hope Ya'll Have Great Time...Heading to Expedia to release my res at the Holiday Inn Express in Ennis if anyone wants to try and jump on it!

[MM03MOK]

Come on, Folks. Only 16 people signed up (23 including guests)and 63 said they'd attend in the poll. It's only 3 months away and a lot of planning needs to be done (thanks Bob M and all those helping to carry the load) to make it special. Get your hotel room and quick!! As we plan to do some group gatherings, a fairly accurate head count is needed so the appropriate size space is reserved.

Come on, what are you waiting for!! :)

[MM03MOK]

OK - I'm going to name names. As of June 11, only 19 Members have signed up - 28 total including guests.

The following replied to the initial thread and we haven't heard from you! If you're coming, hotel reservations are going FAST. The longer you wait, the further away you'll stay. Again, it would be a big help to know so that plans can be made. Put in for your vacation now! Don't forget the KB Marauder S will be there!!!

Come on y'all, get on board now. You don't know half of the fun we have planned yet.

Some of us are traveling great distances, and we are smoothing out formerly obstructive details, maybe we can help you too?

Get your butt to Ennis, you won't be sorry.

Write to me at SergntMac@aol.com if you have special concerns or problems that hold you back. What ever that is can be fixed, trust me.

Alot is going on with fords 100 so it will be a little slow for me but that's OK! right now I need alittle time for my wife if you know want I mean.

[Bigdogjim]

Quality Inn Ennis is booked as 6/13/03. Tried for a friend.

[MM03MOK]

The head-count to date is 30 Members and 20 guests. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. You'll surely be disappointed if you do. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!!! NOW!!

weekly spanking by MM03MOK

[TAF]

Just thought I'd refresh this because...

1) Looks like we've got some new folks over the last couple of weeks
2) We haven't had any new names listed in quite some time

and...

3) I want to stay on the bunny's good side

Come on folks...this is our chance to really make/influence the difference on some of the latest info that was reported from the Trilogy Presentation. Your next generation Marauder could come out of what is learned at this meet. We NEED at least 50 cars there to show the interest!!!

[CRUZTAKER]

Sign up!

[Bob Mathis]

Todd is right we want to have a good turn out. I had two just e-mail me and one has a 427 Marauder and want's to come and boy would that be great to have that one there. Still working on things. Waiting on some word from some folks, but it is still going on. Hope to have things inline by the middle of July. So let's keep on getting the word out.
Thanks Bob

Just to clarify, the art on the shirt was done by a great artist from Australia, not myself ... After some talk, Jerry agreed to take on the ordering of the shirts, and so far the only work I've done with it is posting it on our site. :)

[jgc61sr2002]

Matt - Great idea, very nice shirt.:up:

[Bob Mathis]

Hi,
I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I and Craig who, is the Australia both worked hard on the art work for the T- shirts. He is very good at what he does. Also the brown cann't go away because the GOD head is in it. I want to thank Jerry Barnes for sponsoring this part of the round-up, he and Matt are great people. They and other's are what's going to make this happen.
Thanks Bob:) :cool:

[MM03MOK]

Great t-shirt. I checked out Craig's website. Very talented.

[Bigdogjim]

Also for you EAST COST Marauders I'll be traveling from Phila. to meet up with Mac in Menphis. You can e-mail also. Nomad, so far it's just us? Till we get to Va.

bigdogjim@att.net

On the T-shirts, 3xl will be needed here. :)

Also, Bigdog, did we want to work backwards from Memphis? A good days drive would be from Staughton, VA to Memphis.

O.K.

So could it be possible at the Marauder Roundup to have 5...count them 5...blown/heavily modded Marauders...side by side...hoods up for "inspection"....(Trilogy, Kenny Brown, VT, Dennis Reinhart, Sean Hyland) :up:

Does ANYBODY remember a year+ ago when there weren't even 50 of us here...and we were whining about "low-end torque" and just "dreaming" of somebody that would want to make some aftermarket power items?

I hope the vendors have their order forms ready!!:up:

Ok, Update on My travel plans for Marauderville TX trip. I will be leaving this are after work on Tuesday night, and driving to Staughten VA. There is a Shonnie's there that isn't to bad, and we would probebly have breakfast there. Or the Cracker Barrel... decisions, decisions...

Merc, Thomas, other Washingotn DC metro area peoples, did you want to hook up if your heading to TX?

[SergntMac]

Here's the plans for day two on the road.

Leave West Memphis and head out on I-40 At Little Rock, we take a left and get on I-30. At Texarkana, we leave the Interstate system for State Route 71 south to Shreveport. In a location to be designated by TAF, we hook up with y'all from the South and East. From there, it's Ennis or bust.

TAF, can you set up the meet location? This route is 340 miles, about 6 hrs. It would be a little after lunch time for us if we get a good start from W. Memphis...No fast food, please?

Here's the plans for day two on the road.

Leave West Memphis and head out on I-40 At Little Rock, we take a left and get on I-30. At Texarkana, we leave the Interstate system for State Route 71 south to Shreveport. In a location to be designated by TAF, we hook up with y'all from the South and East. From there, it's Ennis or bust.


Wouldn't RT 59 in Texas be quicker?

Could be, Phil. I didn't investigate all options, I was just brainstorming with TAF over the phone, and MapQuest provided the route.

Where is 59 and where will it take us in terms of a meet location?

[MAD-3R]

OOPS!!

Thats what happens when your map is a 3' x 6' wall map. Shreveport would indeed be reached faster via 71.
