. July 2010 Seattle MCA Show, Northwest Get Together Part Two

[robert campbell]

Neil, from my experience with Seattle/Bremerton traffic, it takes an hour just to get to the coffee shop.

Yup, one hour "scenic" ferry ride between Seattle and Bremerton. And then a 40 minute drive to scenic Belfair were Rob & Val’s lake cabin is. Each way. Not to mention a 30 minute drive from Bellevue to the Ferry terminal.

You can drive South from Bellevue to Tacoma and then West skipping Bremerton and going directly to the Belfair area that I estimate would take one hour total. As this will be Saturday, the traffic will be lighter. That may add 2 hours to your time at my cabin!!

That is why I want to start the party at noon on Saturday. So you can have some fun and not get back to your room at midnight before the Sunday show. You will be able to experience some of the concurs show on Saturday early and then come over.

Best I can do to fit a party in on this weekend. Friday is the pony trail drive. Sunday the big “show”.

By the way, if you skip the concurs show and have a leisurely breakfast, you can come by as early as you want. I will be tending the brisket starting early Friday afternoon all through the night. So you can come by any time Saturday!

Looks like I better throw some good old Canadian Beer in my trunk as well. Just worried it will be too much weight for Gary ( limelyt ). But let's think a minute, if I put beer in my trunk at Calgary, will it still be there by the time I reach Bellevue????????

Being a local boy, I will have to bring out the beast to Robs BBQ and enter the peoples choice on Sunday to add to the representation of coupes w/scoops!

 

[robert campbell]

If we can pull it off, I could arrange a longer drive to the BBQ where you can see a bit of backroads of Kitsap County. Along Hood Canal and very rural and pretty.

Of course not to cut into beer and brisket time. Priorities!!!

Robert

any chance since you live near by the show you can get all the calspecs parking together for the Sunday show?

 

[franklinair]

I think Amy's working on that.

Neil

 

[franklinair]

I spoke with my old Mustang mentor (he's even older than me!) in Miami, and I think I have him convinced to also come to the big show in July. He is an encyclopedia of Mustangs & details (all years). I'll keep you posted.

Neil

 

[robert campbell]

Neil,
Older than you!! What, is he 50??? You stud you. I cannot wait until July!! We are gonna have some fun!

Val's Fastback should be on her feet tomorrow!! Badder than ever!!

Rob

 

[robert campbell]

OKAY here it is- I need to know NOW who is coming so I can block off spaces MAYBE with Jeannie's permission.

IF everyone gets there promptly at opening time with their 68 CS cars then we can hog the section.

It was only myself, Steve (mechanical guy) and Bill (traveledGTCS) last year. The year before I had 40 spaces reserved for our GT/CS section.

I am a loudmouth member of the sponsoring club, Mustangs Northwest.

It was a perfect clear sunny day for racing around in Rob's CS. What a beast! The car too! Went roaring around & left rubber on the streets of Bremerton woo hoooo! Thanks for the good time, Rob! As always!!

 

[aemoo28]

Ok whomever is going to the Rob BBQ- I will meet you at the XXX Root Beer Drive In on Saturday, time to be determined, and we will caravan to the Bremerton ferry and I will lead you to Rob's cabin... I will provide my cell phone if you PM me.

We may have to visit J Speegle who will be judging the Sat show & prob won't make it til late to Rob's.
