I'm excited to see a MV so close to home (6hrs), but my schedule is so screwed up right now that I can't commit to anything. At best, I'd only be able to attend a day or two. I will stay tuned, nonetheless.

Congrats to all who planned this event.

[guspech750]

I am hopeful. Love PA.

[Maraudermike1]

i am almost sure I will be there but I can't commit or give any kind of confirmation that far away. Definitely glad it's closer to home!

Win Win. If I promise to behave may I come?

Like at MV8, there will be a non-marauder class so don't let whether or not you are a Marauder owner prevent you from joining us.

[1stMerc]

[Juice]

Son of a *****! That's two out of two now that will be close to where I am now, but not where I'll be when the time rolls around for the event. If I'm not deployed, I'll do my damnedest to make it out, we'll see!

[Bigdogjim]

Well for a short run like Hershey I might bring the F-150:)

[TooManyFords]

I too will not be attending. This is just too late in the year. Late October we can have snow on the ground in Iowa!

I sure wish these were moved to May...

[ctrlraven]

Too early to confirm yes but if anything I may try to come up for the drag racing so I can line up with a certain NY MM.

[TooManyFords]

Has anyone looked at the average temps for Hershey in late October? Highs 60* and lows of 32*

Mid 60s and clear. Leaves just start to change and its comfortable weather for all our events. Its the perfect weather to be outdoors and for racing.
(we thought of that too)

[Egon Spengler]

Let's roadtrip!
Hmmm we may have to chat about that! haha. I would love to go to one of these events and meet everyone!

6 Hour Drive... Not too bad!

[Blackened300a]

6 Hour Drive... Not too bad!

I've mapped drives that said 12 hours and done it in less then 10. Always subtract at least an hour and a half from the google and mapquest times. They base it on the speed limits of the route.

Well I texted my girl and she said she is interested in going. As long as I still have a job, I will be there. With or without a marauder! haha. Can I change my vote in the poll!?!?!

When we open registration, that will confirm our numbers. This is to get a rough idea of the number of members interested. Its still important to vote so we can work on the registration costs to keep it affordable.

Well take one from the not going and add it to the going! haha. I already voted no. Damn me and my itchy trigger finger... Sounds like a beautiful area to visit and I am excited. The little lady is as well!

[Bigdogjim]

Bring your snow tires! LOL!

John: Very very rare for the Hershey area to get snow in October!

Mid to late December maybe:)

[HammerDown]

Sunday, Jan 2nd it was almost 60 degrees--a bit of global warming in January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rayjay]

Highly unlikely that far south. I live in the snowbelt and thats a wee bit early for even us to get snow. Not unknown, but real rare. A couple weeks later maybe, but not then, not there. Come on John, bring the Beasty!

[Papillon]

Bring your snow tires! LOL!

When we scouted the area this past October at the same time we planned MV 9 for, the weather was just PERFECT! Mid 50s and sunny. Leaves were just starting to turn.

I'm praying we get the same weather this October.

[1stMerc]

6 Hour Drive... Not too bad!

I've attended all MV's since 4. My first MV was 14+ hrs St. Louis to Florida All subsequent events have been 7 to 12 hrs, and i haven't regreted a minute of them. Do all the drive traveling you can while you can.

Don't be one of those saying, I wish i had.

My :twocents:

I agree. My marauder has had a few "hot suppers" in the past years of my ownership and long distance traveling makes me nervous. She has 120k on her and HOPE she makes it at least another 50k, or at least run until I trade her in! haha

You will be surrounded by people who know these cars inside and out. I shot a sparkplug on my way to MV7, fixed it, drag raced out in Indy and drove it home. You'll be fine. Plus theres a Ford dealer closeby to the hotel. (we thought of that too)

hahaha EXCELLENT! I think she will make the trip and enjoy being around her brothers and sisters, but I think she will have to sit on the sidelines for the drag racing! Still need her to be able to drive me back home...

[SC Cheesehead]

Looks like about a 10 hour drive from Greenville, but we'll prolly make a week of it and stop at a couple other places en-route to or from.

I've always wanted to visit Fallingwater, and it looks like about a 3 1/2 hour trip from there to Hershey.

Tom, really, I would travel along with if you'd be interested. I'd love to attend, but being Marauderless, I wouldn't really want to go alone. I'll also help cover the cost of fuel and whatever else we need. I did the drive to Carlisle a couple summers ago. It's an easy trip down to Hershey.

There will be a drag racing option for those interested. One of the MV9 threads has a proposed itinerary.

I know I'm excited for this event... I've been at the Carisle events in the past but not to this event... What happens at theis event..? Is it just a car show or does it include any drag or road course?

Lots of stuff to do!

Good morning!! Funny you should ask about the hotel for MV IX. I, along with 3 other planning committee members are heading out to Hershey this morning to put the finishing touches on the hotel contract. (We all stay in one hotel) We hope to put up the official hotel thread very soon so stay tuned!! BTW it's going to be a really nice hotel. You'll love it!

[Blackened300a]

If we can turn all of the maybe's into attendees, we could be in the running for the biggest MV to date. :banana2:

After this weekend all the Hotel details shall be worked out, then stay tuned for a announcement of what the place has to offer and the booking can begin.

[rayjay]

The committee normally gets a outstanding deal on a top notch hotel, not your run of the mill place, but at the run of the mill place price. Trust me, you'll be happy. Of course you can stay where you like, but its much better to be with the group.

[jsignorelli]

I just booked my room at the Marriot in Hershey so I have a place reserved for Marauderville IX. Is there any info available yet about where the show field is, and any group meeting places and events?

Attention Boys & Girls.....FRDFRK, Hammerdown, Mr. Man and I completed the MV IX Hotel negotiations out in Hershey/Harrisburg yesterday! Please stay tuned for the OFFICIAL MV IX HOTEL REGISTRATION thread which should be posted within the next 2 weeks (possibly sooner!) :banana2:

***Everyone who is planning on coming needs to start thinking about the following and be prepared to act fast once the hotel is announced:

If you want your room to overlook our Marauderville- exclusive parking lot (so you can see your car/keep an eye on the parking lot activities) you should reserve your room preference for that location right away and specify 2 Queen or 1 King bedded room.

***Rooms overlooking our parking lot are in limited supply. The remainder of our block of rooms will be in the wing of the hotel adjacent to our parking, but not overlooking it. If you don't act fast you will have to get real friendly with the guy across the hall ....to get a peek at your car! LOL!)

I do not know what the record for attendance is/was. However, I am pretty sure that MV III/Woodward Dream Cruise (WDC) in August 2005 topped out at about 100 MMs total. I personally counted 85 MMs in the Burger King lot on Woodward at one time at the main Saturday WDC event. I suspect the only reason that we never got 100 is that there were always cars moving around from one point to another.

As you know, I'm fairly new to the site, but can't people find that out by clicking on the poll tally above for each of those choices??? :confused: :dunno:

Or do you mean a "screen name/real name" list??

[Marauder Miggz]

Where do all you guys live!! I wish I could make it to a MV!

[Bluerauder]

I learned long ago that SOME people just vote in polls for the hell of it so this poll may not be very accurate.

Fixed it, Paul ^^^^^ And it is usually the same poll "vote" whores that do it, too.


... but can't people find that out by clicking on the poll tally above for each of those choices??? :confused: :dunno:


Yep, just click on the number in the poll to the right hand side of the bargraphs and all the screen names will appear. This only works if you select "Show Choices" when you set up the poll.

If you want to get a better idea of how many are coming, I have found over the years that if you take 90% of the YES votes, 50% of the MAYBE votes, and 5% of the NO votes --- you may end up with a more accurate tally. Or you may not .... whatever .... ;)

So the adjusted total is: 47-Yes, 18-Maybe/Yes, 1-No/Yes = 66 estimated to attend.

[Papillon]

Where do all you guys live!! I wish I could make it to a MV!

Don't wish! Make it happen! :D Lol

We (the planning committee) are in the North East. You should definitely try to make it. It would be quite the trek for you but think about how much fun you'll have! And if you can drive, FLY! Hotel is only 10 minutes from the airport :rolleyes:

Hmm... (plus 1.... carry the 6....) YEAH! That definitely makes sense. :D

Well hopefully everyone who voted yes on this poll will come. Keeping fingers crossed!

[Bluerauder]

Hmm... [SIZE=1][I]Well hopefully everyone who voted yes on this poll will come. Keeping fingers crossed!

Yes, 100% of the Yes votes would be nice. However, life and unforeseen circumstances can frequently intervene. Especially when the votes are 9-10 months out from the event.

Case in point --- I was an absolute definite YES for Marauderville IV (MV4) in Orlando, FL. Hotel was booked. Registration was made and paid. Had tickets on the Auto Train to Florida ..... and even 4 days booked at Disney World for after MV4. Then I ended up in the hospital the night before departure. **** happens !!!! Others have been similarly impacted shortly before the event.

Paul/Blackened300a had engine trouble enroute to MV7 in Indianapolis. If he wasn't so darned handy under the hood and hadn't brought along spare parts, he may have spent part of "The Invasion of Indy" sitting near a repair shop in Pennsylvania.

I am sure others can cite other no notice disappointments to attendance despite the best of intentions.

We were a define yes with hotel reservations made and side visit plans made until a few weeks later one of our daughters decided to move her wedding date up a year. Nothing like planning a wedding under pressure. All worked out great but could not make MV three days later. Still had relatives here.

This year work will probably cut into the first few days but it's close enough for possibly late Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No surprize wedding plans yet... wish us luck. We have a big family.

JMHO; but it is better to get your reservations in now. If something comes up, you can always cancel up to about 24-48 hours out without penalty. I would go ahead and book the room. Hope the timing works out for you and that you will be able to attend.

We saw their car show last year during our scouting of the area and booked our event that same day. We are locked in for that weekend and they will have to re-schedule. ;)
Not enough room for both of us on the field and we also have use of the conference room upstairs for our trophies and raffles. It may tick off a few mustang owners, but we jumped on it as soon as possible to make it a unique event for Marauderville.
Discount coupons will also be offered for the museum tour so this will be a full day of things to do.

We usually have to play things by ear but will be setting money aside after Carlisle each month trying to make this work. I just have to keep a promise first and grab a catch can from musclemerc after Carlisle then the mods are dead for the year and I can save LOL!

Wow, 57 people signed up already. We may need a bigger boat....

[LeoVampire]

Thanks Charlie! I'll call Justin tomorrow...

Well if they do not allow pets it will just be me going I am sure. Francisco is not happy about leaving Chad alone even with friends and or neighbors helping to take care of him he has been having separation problems and gets into every thing destructively. But it may change as time goes by he just spent too much time alone in the shelter and what not is the thought right now.

Hahaaa! Good thinkin! I emailed my contact my "list of requests" and the museum is VERY compliant and extremely nice & helpful. She even asked if we needed separate parking for the DTR's over the hill by the cemetary. I told her, "Nah... We'll let them join the rest of us."
:lol:

Hmmm, sounds like Otto. He is going to a kennel when we go to the beach. The person we had watching him last year couldn't handle him and we came home to a real mess. :mad2:SOB is getting senile.

Chad is young yet only a year and a half and was found as a stray and spent 6 months in a shelter because he had no training what so ever and was not a calm boy when you meet him. So no one would adopt him even though he was a full Siberian Husky.

He is still wild in nature in a lot of ways and a bit mouthy when he plays or wants something and it took almost a month to house train him for going to the bathroom. But he wants to learn and likes to learn when it comes to tricks like the paw and retrieving a ball and what not.

But on walks he likes to pull and not calm down and will try to take off after anything small that moves so we had to get a harness for him because he constantly makes the semi choke collar work hard and he coughs.

In the car he is very calm but he can tear through a new toy in minutes no matter how tough it is.

This thread is to help us get a idea of how many people are coming so we can help coordinate our events.


Hi -

Sorry for chiming in so late.

I was thinking of driving in each day but now I'm thinking of either staying the night (Sat/Sun) or driving in each day.

Have I missed the cutoff for hotel registration and number counting?

Thanks,

Mark

Numbers and Hotel registrations are still open ......

From Ramblewood, NJ (NJT Exit #4) that's 120 miles (2+ hours) each way to the host hotel. You'll be spending 4+ hours on the road each day and spending at least $48 per day in gas alone for the 240 mile round trip. If your budget will allow, it probably makes more sense to get a room at the hotel. They are still available.

You will miss out on a large part of the Marauderville activities and interaction if you try to commute in every day. The informal get togethers in the hotel or even hanging out in the parking lot in the evening produce some of the memorable experiences. If you've got 120 miles to travel, you'll be leaving your place at 6:00 AM to meet up for the first activities and then heading back around dinner time. You'll miss alot.

That's alot of driving for a 4 day event. So, I would recommend staying at the hotel for as many nights as you can afford. Just my :twocents:
