I'm not sure what i can do to help out down here in FL, but I will definitely do anything I can to get this to work. We need to just keep spreading it around.

I could probably get MACA (Mid-Atlantic Cobra Association) to show up. We are always looking for things to do.

As far as a MT sponsored cruise would go, let me run it by Chris. If I can head up the corporate end over here and get things scheduled for the cruise on the business end, then I might be able to make things happen.

There is always the possibility of a joint thing with CJ Pony since Blake already has ties with them. I dunno.

Let me go and talk to Chris now and see what he thinks.

Yeah MM&FF are always up there. The only problem is the 20hr drive from FL. Dunno if that appeals to anyone down here?

I think everyone is busy thinking about the holidays etc...

I am sure we will get things rolling towards the end of the winter.

Regaridng CJ's, I am not sure if CJ's is gonna work with me (HoTO) next year. Don't get me wrong, they are AWESOME and we worked together very well, but they have never chosen the same charity two years in the row for their bigger July event.

I am sure they will be making a decision on this sometime in Feb. I would love to bring the subject up with them, but they need to sort through their own issues in their own way.

One way or the other, I am in favor a "national cruise" of some kind....multiple events meeting at the same time.

BTW, in case some of you have not read my other thread, my little buddy Tyler passed away. I am sure his family would be supportive of being a part of this in Co. I will talk to them about it when it is more appropriate.

BTW, it may seem impossible, but if we could get just 1,000 cars to join up...figure perhaps 10 - 20 different cruises. That would be about 50 to 100 cars per cruise and if the driver could get sponsors, all we would need is $100 per driver, we would have enough money to purchase a second home and help twice as many families. I would even consider calling it "Tyler's Home" as part of Home of Their Own, Inc.

Do we have kinda like a relative date that this will be happening... we need to get people to definitely commit to this and by setting a time frame we will know what needs to be planned and when it needs to be set up by.

I guess we just need to crap or get off the pot!

I would like to have 5 - 10 shows/cruises simultaneously throughout the country. If you would like to coordinate a "local" show for your area, step forward. Send me a PM with the following:

1 - Your real name
2 - Your city
3 - A number where you can be reached.
4 - An approximate estimate of how many cars you could pull in for a show/cruise. NO overstating, just a real-life realistic estimate.
5 - Possible location and "theme" for your gathering. You can be creative if you like (cruise, show, drag race event etc... anything goes).

I would like to have 5 - 10+ shows/cruises simultaneously at the same time. If you would like to step forward, I see no reason why to turn anyone away no matter how small or large. Some of you have a great deal of pull with local Mustang clubs and might be really sucessful at getting a local club to sponsor the event.

Also, if you would like to nominate yourself as an "officer" let me know too. You may be an officer and an event organizer at the same time. I would like to have 2 - 4 officers who will promote event, communicate with event captains and essentially act as the corporate headquarters. I will also ask everyone to help promote with other Mustang forums.

Also, the officers will choose name of event and ultimately determine how funds would be raised. My idea would be to donate to Home of Their Own, Inc. in memory of Tyler Pilon. Home of Their Own is non-profit and can provide some funding that may be needed.

I would like to have a meeting with all officers very soon so that things can be moved to the next level. If you are not selected as an officer, please please please, we would love to take your help any way we can. This meeting will take place via conference call.

And, that folks, is all I have.

One of the roles of the officers will be to reach out to all the clubs!

Well, I have connections with Atco and maybe could help you put something together. You are only allowed 15 cars at a track rental. We could do meet on Sunday Night other than the 4th Sunday!!

I work with the NMRA/NMCA NSCA Atco and others organizing and running events. I do this for free, just for the love of the hobby. I have been running my "Support Our Troops" cruise at my dealership for over 5 years. I just got done putting together the Atco Cruise with the owners. I'm sure I could get you another Sunday Night. They have a bar and concession stands. The racing curfew on Sunday is 6pm so we could do a 7-10pm meet. The only other thing I can do is give you guys your own section at my "Support Our Troops Cruise" on Sunday April 30th from 3pm-9pm.
