    National Marauder Roundup!

    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.

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

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    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.

    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)?
