All Ford PicNic Bellevue CC

[DirtyDog]

On July 16 at Bellevue Community College there will be 1400+ cars for the All Ford PicNic and Mustang Roundup. They are having vendors and food concessions, a Dyno, Dash Plaques, and Door prices. $15.00 with car and walk-ins are $10.

Who is interested?

[Ryans PI]

I should be there...providing work doesn't change my schedule.

[teamrope]

Maybe..... Depends on if I break anthing at Bremerton on the 15th. :)

[TWEGGS]

I Think I'll make this event. I have the flyer from the round up and it looks like fun.

[Blue03]

I'm Interested Too! :D I'll have to confirm to see if it will work out.

Here's the Flyer for info http://www.mustangsnorthwest.com/roundup/Roundup2006Flyer.pdf

Looks like gates open at 7:30 am. Any chance we could all coordinate arrivals and park together or is that problematic with 1400 cars converging on BCC?

Sounds like fun......It would be great if we could show up as a crew:cool:

[Blue03]

The deck is cleared. The weather looks great! I'm planning on going. :) Should the North Enders meet up at Northgate? Would we need to be at Northgate maybe by say 7am to catch the 7:30am gate? Ouch thats early! Dave I believe you've been to this event before. Is an early start needed?

[DirtyDog]

I planned on going early and depending on how early maybe stopping for breakfast. There is a place close by.

Breakfast sounds good...Pick a time! If you know of a place near BBC, we could all plan to meet there and then go into the meet as a group if that makes any sense. If everyone shows that posted interest, we could have 6 Panthers. Is anyone else planning on going?

[teamrope]

It's looking like I won't make it... Honey do list, and I can't let my Ford Drag Team mates down. We are only 5 points behind NW F Bodys, which means we need make 6 more rounds than they do tomorow to take over 1st place.. :(

[TWEGGS]

You guys pick a time and place, This looks good to me.

I dont think I'm going to be able to make this one....but we should have a meet soon!!!!!!have fun guys:burnout:

[Blue03]

Looks like DirtyDog, Tweegs and Blue03. Ryan are you going? Anybody else? Breakfast is a good idea. We could meet up at place close to BBC at say 7am? There's a Denny's south of I-90 on 150th (3703 150th Ave SE Bellevue, WA 98006 (425) 747-7470). North of I-90 closer to BBC, there's a place called Lil' Jon's Restaurant (3080 148th Ave SE Bellevue, WA 98007 (425) 746-4653) and they open at 6am. I've never been to either. Denny's will do the job but my vote would be for Lil' Jon's to do something new. What say you guys? I'm easy on time and food. Cheers :)

Empty everything out of your car, tools, spare, jack, carpeting, strip down to your shorts to get the total weight down 75 pounds and you should have that 13.

We ate at Lil Jon's a couple of weeks ago and it was good. That is the place right by Bellevue CC.

I can't make up my mind on the time. What time does the show start?

[Ryans PI]

According to an ad I saw, it starts at 9am. But you know cars will be lined up before it opens.

According to the flyer the show runs from 9am to 5pm. The gates open at 7:30 am. I'll defer to your experience here but if we gather at Lil Jon's for bfast at 7am, take an hour or so, show at the gate at about 8am maybe the 7:30 gate rush will have passed and we can roll on in...then again I have not been to a show with 1400 cars before so it may never let up. If 7 is not good, pick a time before or after and I'll be there! I'll check the board later tonight and before heading out in morning. I'll use the 7am at Lil Jon's as my default.:)

The next run downwind ought to bring on the 13's! :banana2: Did you gain on the NW F Bod's??

[DirtyDog]

I'm going to pass on breakfast. I have a couple of things to do to the car in the morning and I don't want to get up in the middle of the night. I'll be there at 8:30 though. I'll check back for up dates.

That'l work... I'll bump Bfast time to 7:30 at Lil Jon's and maybe we can hook up there at around 8:30. I'll PM my cell phone # in case that will help anything. See you tomorrow!

[TWEGGS]

I'll shoot for 8:30 at the gate. Hope we can park together. Sounds like 3 or 4 cars?

So, how was it? Any pics?

Well it was a fine day! There were 3 MM's. DirtyDog, Tweegs and myself. It was good to talk with Dave and meet Terry and his wife and son.
As a Mustang Round Up it was Mustang overload but boy there were some nice ones! There were also other Fords including , I think counted 7 Pantera's, Cougars, Cobra's (non Mustang types), a CV Sport, SVT's (again non Mustang types) and various other Ford products.
It was so sunny it was hard to get some good pics...at least for me! The only Group MM shot that was ok has just Terry in it. I should have got the whole crew. Dave and I had spent some time getting the engine bays presentable. Might not be that way until next season, so here they are. In the Pics I did get you can see a pair of the Hertz GT-H's and (barely) a Shelby GT 500 behind them. Saleen was a big time sponcer and well represented.
It got a little hot if you stayed out in the sun too long but you could always find some shade. With the steady light breeze, it was just perfect! Lots of cars, lots of sun, lots of people, decent food, good company and BCC was nice place for the event. Again just a fine day!!! :D

So someone went and planned ahead to rent the GT-H's for the meet. That's pretty cool. I'm going to wait a while before I go and rent one. ;)

I'm not sure but I think the PA announcer mentioned the GT-H's were privately owned...

Here is a couple more.

If they are privately owned, then that person has some connections(and deep pockets.) I read that they were strictly rentals. However, there is one available at auction. http://www.shelbyamerican.com/news.asp?id=6

[Ryans PI]

Did they stick you guys on the top of the parking lot with all the other none Mustangs? That's where I've had to park.
