Thanks go out to John Ford and others

just wanted to say thanks .....John ford for setting up one heck of a good time at the round up taking the time from your kids and wife and say thanks to her for me ..and thanks to the others that helped..can't wait till next year

 

I second that!!! And I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of new faces next year as well. This club is getting bigger every day, and it sure would be nice to see more folks come on out and enjoy the good time!

Hope everyone had as good a time as I did! And I hope everyone had or is having a safe and uneventful trip home.

Later,

 

Hopefully my new Grabber will be ready for next year.

How was the turn out this year? Judging by the photo it looks like quite a few people were there!

 

Awesome is the only word I can use to describe how good of a time I had. Despite scrambling with a broken valve spring the day before........racing a cop who was nice enough to just give me a 90mph ticket :evilsmile waking up with a bad hangover and driving 300 miles at 3500 rpm to get home. I had a very memorable time. My wife and I would like to thank "Big" John Ford the only guy I know that makes pink look good and The MCCI for agreat time.

 

It sounded like a great time. Hopefully next year my Mav will be done, if so ill be willing to go on a road trip to meet all you guys.

 

I was only able to make the last half but what A time.......The wife and I had a great time John and his Family should be proud of their accomplishments. The same goes for Ward, and Tom as well thanks to Tom pulling strings we had the group photos that we did.

 

Ditto, Thanks to everyone for putting on a great roundup. I met a lot of fine people. Next year I will take the car.

 

I would like to add that I did shoot some video of the drag racing, awards show, some good shots thanks to Tom of the entire field of cars from a fire truck, and several interviews with owners about thier cars. I will be releasing this later through the MCCI for a small fee. Price has not been determined. SOrry to those owners I did not get to (trust me I wanted to interview everybody but I also wanted to have fun myself at the event) interview. I picked the cars that best represented a mix from original to race and inbetween. Lotsa nice cars hopefully my effort and the MCCI's willingness to market it to members who could not attend will give you a good idea as to how great of time is really had.

 

cool email it to me when you can

 

Yes a big THANKS to John for all the hard work put into having a great Round-Up and also all the officers of the Club that helped in anyway. We had an awesome time only been home 4hrs. and thinking about next years. Again thanks to all.

 

i too would like to ..thank...john and his lovely "bride"... my bride and i had a wonderful time. from all that was going on..at some point he had to have been in two places at the same time .
it was nice meeting a lot of new mav. people.
it was my first MCCI meeting and it was conducted very well.
i have the "round up" on my "list of things to do next year" .
...frank and his bride (effie)...

 

Laura and I would like to extend our thanks as well. We had a good time again this year and look forward to the next Roundup. This event is really the pinnacle of Maverickdom...I just wish we all didn't live so far away from each other!
We made it home with not much incident. We caught up with several other cars coming home from the Roundup while on I-64, I-71 and then I-75. The only real downer was when the A/C compressor clutch started slipping and burning up for some damn reason just north of Cinci and we had to revert to the "2-65" method of cooling. *SIGH* Other than that we made it home in about 8 hours.
Sorry we missed the fun in the hotel bar last night! With the bad luck I have been having the past few days it was probably for the best...I was very tired and I really needed the sleep before the drive home today...

 

Great comments, guys. Bottom line is that thanks is just not enough. We just got in the door and I had to get online to post.

John made a lot of sacrifices to put on one helluva event for us. If this didn't show how much we are a family, not a club, nothing will. Thanks goes out to Ward also. He was a big help to John and set up the kart racing and mini golf last night. Thanks, Ward!!

I know last night we held back emotions knowing that we'd be hitting the road in the am.


358 days until Owensboro '06!




KENTUCKY ROCKS!!!

 

Home also

I would also like to say that We had a great time and will be coming back next year if at all possible .Owensboro was such a friendly town and perfectly suited for the event. Thanks to John , Ward and everyone there for making us feel so welcome .It was really great meeting all my Mav/Comet friends face to face. Once again I would like to say

Kentucky Rocks

Well, it's 12:58 a.m. Monday morning and I just got the car unloaded. It's late but I still couldn't wait to get here and post a BIG THANKS to John Ford. That was one HELLUVA Round-up. It was my first and my wife and I are already talking about going back next year. It was well worth the 13 hour drive. Thanks again John and everyone else that helped. I'll post more after I get some sleep.
