    Marauderville 6 - St. Louis, MO 9/18-21

    Yes, we're a little bit late with this. I hope some good, strong idea have been hatched and now's the time to put the thoughts together for another great national event. Here is the information that needs to be considered.


    Lodging
    Hotel must be affordable. Someone HAS to make an on-site visit to determine available facilities and quality of accommodations.
    Amenities: High speed (preferably at no extra charge); dining room, banquet facility, bar, pool on-site preferred. Security is a must-have.
    The hotel must be able to offer us a block of rooms with no less than 50 rooms and have ample parking. Consider ease of access and location to highways and suggested events. For very large group meals, off-site restaurants would be fine too.

    Itinerary
    Track: Closest ¼ mile drag strip and the cost of use. Road course or oval track may be considered. Because interest has waned for half day track rental, a Test and Tune is a viable option.

    Things to see and do: plant/factory tours, museums, breweries, items of general interest to those not dragging. Cruises, car shows, anything automotive and/or transportation related.

    Is there any event we can piggyback on? (ie FFW)

    Cost
    Proposed budget to cover all expenses. Funds can be raised with raffles, in addition to registration fees, sponsorships and donations, along with support from MM.Net. Affordability is key.

    Relate why you feel that Marauderville 6 should be at your location. What makes it “special?”

    Maraudervilles have traditionally been a Thursday through Sunday event. Fall (Sept/Oct) would be ideal, although other times will be considered depending on circumstances such as events we can piggyback on. Some Regional events are already planned in Seymour, IN the first weekend in Oct., and the Southern Super Heavyweight Shootout in early Nov.

    Please submit your proposal to MM.Net@MercuryMarauder.Net by February 29, 2008. Follow-up on the proposal may be needed, so please include names and phone numbers of Members involved in the proposal.

    Look for an announcement in early March for MV6!

    Thank you in advance for those stepping up with proposals. MM.Net will work with your team to make this another great event! Please feel free to ask questions offline.<!-- / message -->

    The timing and so far the proposed locations are great for Patricia and me.

    I'll have the funds to defray the cost by then.

    I still volunteer to do anything the hosting entity wants of me.

    I actually was hoping and think it would be a great location as well as include our non-marauder members (GM's and CV's) to piggy back with SSHS8.

    It was a great time. There were plenty of hotels. Everything was close-by.

    Atlanta is just a short drive from the track area. There's lots to do there. I did the coca-cola thing on the way home, for example.

    What do you think of that?

    Have you been to a GM or CV event? Secondly, I don't know of anyone wanting to partner up with SSHS8. Meaning Marauderville combined with SSHS8. SSHS8 is a pipe dream at this point. I don't think many member, other then racers, would want to attend a November National Meet.

    If you have a valid interest, feel free to submit a proposal. At this point, the field is wide open so get some facts and figures together and submit them.

    Just a thought. I had fun there!
    But you're right. Not everyone wants to drag race.

    They don't suck but not the best match.

    I will submit a proposal the weekend after the Super Bowl for Bristol FFW. I will need some assistance from members in the Tennessee Tri-State Area. I personally don't want to take on the responsibility. I plan on focusing on racing and other competitions.

    Just a suggestion . . . . .

    After wading through vendors for last year's MVV, I don't want to get involved again. But here's a thought:

    The CV folks have generally had a good reception when they scheduled a St. Thomas Assembly Plant tour. While it's kinda remote, and I have no clue what's up there drag-strip-wise, it might be nice to have Mercury Marauders returning to their ancestral home. I bet the locals get a kick out of it (and we won't act like juvenile delinquents racing up and down the road with our sirens on, like the P71/P72 crowd). I made the trip once and really enjoyed the personalized tour.

    There's all kind of stuff on crownvic.net as I recall (I'm at work andcan't get to it right now), in case that helps planning.

    There's also a decent dragstip within 20-minutes of the assembly plant... A Brewery tour within 35... London ON is a decent size (St. Thomas is almost like a 'burb of London), with hotels, restaurants and stuff, but Toronto is only about 2-hours away, with far more to do. Pipe dream to have it in my backyard, though... Needs to be more centrally located, to really attract membership from N-S-E-W.
