Ponies in the Park - September 28th - Separate Marauder class?

[Anthony84]

September 28th, Ponies in the Park, Lacey, Wa.

They will separate out the Marauder from the CV/MGM into their own classes if enough show up from what I heard over on CVN.

Who's in? And who's gonna convoy up with me?

[Mebot]

This might be something I can attend. Where's Lacey in relation to Seattle?

[Anthony84]

About an hour for a right lane slowpoke... lol

[Mebot]

I have a Marauder. I can get there in 15 minutes

[Anthony84]

Wish there was a "like" button for that.

I have a DTR; so I suppose I'll add twenty minutes or so to the time I was given with the google map...yes, I just zinged myself...

[Logizyme]

down like a clown Charlie brown.

[Mebot]

Looking on the website and registration form, I cannot find a start time for the event?

Also the categories on the registration form includes one for Mercury Marauders. That's cool

[Anthony84]

9 am I believe is the gate opening time per what I've read on CVN. C'mon guys; we had a killer showing at Griots...no one else wants to show off their car again in a few weeks?

[Mebot]

Still have this on my calendar! Woot

[Mebot]

Bump for more exposure. I'll register next week. I see there's an award for farthest traveled. I'll bring my VA plates and put them on when I get there

[Anthony84]

So at this point; 3 marauders going? And let's just say three trophies per class as most car shows...looks like we all get one at this rate. Lol

I've never won a trophy or award ever for my Marauder so this is kind of exciting

[Mebot]

Bump for this event. I'm looking forward to my default trophy unless more people register.

Let's talk about a caravan to the show. Where do you usually meet?

[Anthony84]

I'm really surprised there isn't more action. We had an awesome turnout in May for the Griots meet. What gives people?! Lol

[Logizyme]

I'm going for the hat trick! First in class: SVTOA, Roundup, and Ponies.

Anybody going to try and stop me?

[Anthony84]

I'd try; but a basically stock DTR ain't gonna get a lot of votes. Lol.

You can follow us home after the show. :)

[Mebot]

You can follow us home after the show. :)
Great! Sounds good. We do have over a week before the show so if you need a hand to get your Marauder back up running, give me a shout.

Thanks

[DirtyDog]

You can count me in for Lacy. Sounds like a party. :party:

[Blue03]

Thanks to a call from BJ ...I'm looking into it... Think my original rubber will hold up for the trip? Sure is getting slippery... :thinker:

[HeavyMetalMerc]

Quick reminder for folks meeting up: if you have a FRS radio, bring it. I've always found that a couple radios are crucial during a Marauder caravan/convoy. I have two that I'll bring.

[Anthony84]

Looks like my DTR won't win a trophy by default after all! Lol. Now if I can convince jeronimojc to bring his silver, I think we'd have all colors represented. Looking forward to the show!

[PuntyMario]

Can we get a category for contestants out of country? Lol

[Anthony84]

You win the "long distance" award by default. Haha. You're coming all the way from another country.

Bring enough for everyone and let's confuse the crowd

[Mebot]

Has anyone registered for this event? I was going to if it was simple and easy online but I didn't feel like mailing the flyer

Also is anyone in contact with Mustang West club to let them know we have a good contingent of Marauders coming?

[Logizyme]

Pat with his GMQ is our connection to Mustangs west, He'll be at the track with me tomorrow, I'll advise him of the MM.net headcount and ask him to forward it to MW.

5, maybe 6 MM from MM.net

Has anyone here (besides craig) registered yet?

[Anthony84]

I haven't registered but I will for sure be there. Yeah, I think it'll be cool to have the Panthers in separate classes. Hell, the Mustangs break down into like 30 categories.

Germany huh, I got the Netherlands, Russia, Great Britain, and a few others ...still working on the whole world. Lol.

[teamrope]

I think most plates are made in China, does that mean we all tie? :D

[Anthony84]

Sure. Lol. I believe state penitentiaries still make their own though. I've been collecting since I was four. My dad always told me I could always collect them as long as I didn't make them. Lol.

[Anthony84]

Anyone else heading up to Lacey from the south end of the state?

Northerners; I want to meet up with you all before the show nearby so all the panthers can mob in like we always do. Its a more menacing, uniform approach when we are all in a line. Like we we all were leaving the car wash to get to Griots back in May...who didn't spin tires or get sideways leaving there? :burnout:

[Blue03]

Oh i will be there and so will tyler in that sick low black rauder. we from the north will be meeting at 8:00 am at the Shoreline Brown Bear car wash, and be rolling out at 8:30 am to show. where i hope to keep my sting of 2nd place alive.

Hi All,
Looks like I'm headed to Lacy Sunday! Are you still meeting up at the Brown Bear in Shoreline? I haven't seen BJ or Dave in a long time and have not met some of you. I'm looking forward to saying Hi again and meeting some new (to me) folks.
Cheers

Yes, just a reminder:

Anyone near lacey want to suggest a spot near the show for all panthers to meet so that we may roll in like a sinister group?

[Blue03]

Thanks! See you around 8

[PuntyMario]

Hello gents ill be crossing the border tmr at 6 am and should be im town by 9 am at the latest. Anyone wanna meet up for a drink and eats somewhere sat evening?

[HeavyMetalMerc]

South Sound Center

711 Sleater Kinney Rd SE
Lacey, WA 98503


looks like to have a little space so not to crowd little places like we did at brown bear earlier in year. anywhere better?

[Mebot]

[Anthony84]

So we meet at south sound center to roll in as a group? Time? The DTR is polished under its car cover and is waitin for Sunday. No other SW WA Marauders are comin up so I'm allllll alone.... :(

here yeah so we wont get there till 9-930 um unless we not doing speedlimit

[Mebot]

Maybe we should meet at Brown bear 730 AM & roll out at 8.

[Logizyme]

Theres no reason to hit the show right when the gates open, its usually a clutster****.

Lets stick to our current times, play it by ear somewhat, I'd say meet at southcenter around 930, and tentatively plan on rolling out once all heads are accounted for.

[Mebot]

Actually that's a great point. I'd rather arrive stylishly late and in a convoy of 6 or 7 Marauders deep. Everyone will see us roll in.

What's the parking situation like at this event? Any chance of losing out on prime spots? Do they have a section dedicated for us?

[HeavyMetalMerc]

unknown, id assume Pat may know more on that end. (aka Totalled) as i do not think any of us have made this show before.

[DirtyDog]

For my first official show here on the West Coast, I had an absolute blast! The weather was a little chilly in the morning but cleared & warmed up by the afternoon. Got to meet up beforehand with Tyler (Logizyme), Bruce (blue03), and Craig (HeavyMetalMerc). Mauricio (PuntyMario) was running a little late so we hung out on the onramp to the freeway til he got close than we all zoomed on and caught up. 3 Black Marauders, one DBP and one grand Marquis.

As always, a Marauder caravan is never complete without a U-Turn or two, but we got to the park fashionably late and we had a lot of heads turn our way when we rolled in. We had our own category and a nice area to park. We had a lot of foot traffic.

Great to put a name with the faces and had a great time talking to Anthony (Anthony84) - DTR , BJ & Linda (Mr. & Mrs. Teamrope) - DTR,

Well deserved wins to Mrs. Teamrope for her DTR, Logizyme for his Black and Bruce for his immaculate Blue! Congrats guys!

Here are some pictures of the Marauder group as well as some of my favorite shots from the event:

The rest of the show was really cool and a lot of high-performance Ford and Mercury vehicles. The show was dominate by Mustangs (obviously since this was a sponsored event by the Mustangs West car club). I didn't see any Lincolns, but here are couple of my favorite shots:
