[Joe Walsh]

Sorry I am going to miss this one...:(
I will be in Kansas City at my cousin's wedding that weekend.

[MyTMerc]

We'll be there. This is turning out to be a good summer. Took in the Corvette show this past weekend in Annapolis. I'll be in Reno for the last day of Hot August Nights, get back to Dulles on Friday at 630 am where Diane will meet me and we'll head up to the Woodward Dream Cruise. We had to top it all off with Marauderville 7. I would have used up all my man points for the summer but she's from the Detroit area and loves fast American cars (Yes Canadian too :rolleyes:).

[justbob]

I think i'm out. I was off work for two and a half months and then hired back. In construction during hard times, if you take a day off for any reason, then you must not need the money as bad as the next guy in line to replace you. If it is a go, can I like sleep on someone's floor, since there will be no more rooms? LOL.

[Ms. Denmark]

Joe and Bob, sorry we may not see you guys this time, but totally understand your situations.:( You will be missed! :bigcry:

[SC Cheesehead]

Oops, voted, but clicked the wrong button.

Me and the Ms. will be attending, we'll be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary that Wednesday evening.

[MyTMerc]

Me and the Ms. will be attending, we'll be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary that Wednesday evening.

That's outstanding! Congratulations!

[SC Cheesehead]

That's outstanding! Congratulations!

Which one, MyTM, attending MVVII or the anniversary...?;)

[TAKEDOWN]

Ummm... not sure as of now, I recently bought myself a reaLLy rEaLLy expensive gift!

[Fourth Horseman]

I was hoping to make this one, but I'm just too tight on cash and with the economy the way it is I just don't dare risk it. Maybe next year.

[Ms. Denmark]

Me and the Mister (Man) will be there! Driving out to Western Iowa first and arriving in Humboldt on the Sun. eve before MV. We'll leave from there early on Tues. morning to arrive in Indy Tues. eve. If anyone will be around for dinner Tues., give us a shout. We hope to see the King Tut Exhibit on Wed. sometime. And the USS Indianapolis Memorial too, if there's time. Looking forward to seeing ya'll!:beer:

[rayjay]

Unless we are able to get two transferred in at work by early next month, we're out. :( Upside is tons of overtime for my final year. :)

[ImpalaSlayer]

definitly not.

[Dennis Reinhart]

I will be in the beer gardens in Seymour, at the Octoberfest.:beer:

[Blackened300a]

Up in the air as of now. My friend is having his bachelor party in Vegas the week before.

I have to pick one cause Im not affording both.

Maybe we can do a double celebration, Bern and I celebrate our 34th Anniversary on 27 Sep. :D

[cruzer]

Well, this time, I know definitely I will not be there. In the last 6 months. Ginny and I have been taking care of health matters that we had put off too long. In about another 2 months, we should be in the best shape we have been in years. Ginny has no more cateracts , vericose veins or blood sugar problems. I have no more blood pressure problems, kidney problems, cholesterol problems, blood sugar problems or, for the first time in over 50 years, no back pain. We put together a team of young doctors that are the best in their fiields and, they got together and used a team approach and the results were dramatic---we are very lucky. Anyhow, this hasn't come cheap and the economy took a big bite out of my reserves--we're still doing OK, but it will take a while to catch up. I will be there in spirit, remembering the good time I had there at MV II--I also pulled out all the pics from Woodward Ave and MV III--it's been a lot of fun. I miss all you folks, and, Good Lord willing, I'll make at least one more MV. Be safe, be healthy and be happy--enjoy things while you still have the health to make the trips. Do a lap on the Brickyard for me--and take a lot of pics, Maury:beer::burnout::banana2:: D

[MyTMerc]

Which one, MyTM, attending MVVII or the anniversary...?;)

Both.... I thought about that when I wrote it but I figured I'd let you weigh the importance of the events.:D

Congrats also go out to Charlie and Bernie on another fantastic milestone!

I needed remedial training after the 1st 25 years and had to start over. Diane and I are coming up on number 5. I think I've got this figured out but I'll let you know when I'm no longer a rookie.

[SC Cheesehead]

Both.... I thought about that when I wrote it but I figured I'd let you weigh the importance of the events.:D

Yeah, I thought the same thing, just couldn't resist.....http://www.velocidad-maxima.com/forum/images/smilies/poke.thumb.gif ----->:D


Maybe we can do a double celebration, Bern and I celebrate our 34th Anniversary on 27 Sep. :D

Hey yeah, congratulations to you guys, too! Maybe we can find a little German restaurant to go to and celebrate. If not, I have another place in mind. Let me know if you guys want to go out one night and do something special.

[Ms. Denmark]

We're coming up on lucky number 13 in October. Only feels like four or five to me. Indy will be a great way to celebrate! ;)

[FW_Linc/Merc]

Driving down on Friday and staying with Family Friday night. No reserevations needed for family. I most likely will be driving back Saturday but I will be there for sure this year. This will be my first MV. Since it is so close to home I have no excuse.

[Embassy]

As of now, I plan to be there.

[Pops]

Linda and I will be there.

[O's Fan Rich]

That could prove to be an interesting dynamic at MV7....:P

[Ms. Denmark]

Why?:confused: Oh yeah......We're taking a lap on the Indy Speedway!!!!!!!!!!! :banana2: Sorry you won't be there for that Joe.;)

[SC Cheesehead]

It's 'Indy', just not in Indiana. I have great seats too. Outside turn 8, at then end of the short straight. I'll be the guy with the blue or yellow flag.

For once, I agree.

[chapel1]

I will come over friday night and help Sherman at the track and come over to Indy Speedway saturday for the lap, can't miss that!

[Pops]

Yeah he'll be racing. I'll have him give u a call.

[Cougar_Marauder]

Well I was going to book my room when I last posted (Friday) but forgot, so I just called now and he said they are overbooked for Friday & Saturday. I had to bump up to a suite for those two days... Just an FYI if you haven't gotten yours yet. Suires go for $139-159 The price of being a slacker :banghead:

Did you mention that you were part of the MercuryMarauder.Net group?

We are supposed to have a block of 50 rooms. From this poll, I can only see about 18-19 rooms that have been booked so far (plus 8 pending). That leaves about 23 rooms unaccounted for ... Who are all the other folks and why have they not checked in here??? :dunno:

[MERCMAN]

As of Friday there were plenty of rooms available, be sure you call the local number, not the toll free. Be sure to tell them you are with the Mercury Marauder group. If you have problems, feel free to PM me.

[CRUZTAKER]

Yeah he'll be racing. I'll have him give u a call.


There is a chance I can pair up with a 10 second Marauder....?

Very....very cool. :beer:

[Cougar_Marauder]

I told him I was with Mercurymarauder.net but was only able to get the group rate for Thursday night. (I used the local number and spoke with Haden) He said they were then overbooked for Fri & Sat and no rooms under the group price were available over the weekend. He said there was some other event likely happening that same weekend.... they must fill the rooms first come regardless of group rate?

[MERCMAN]

They have a new staff(new hotel) As of this morning there are plenty of rooms available at our group rate. The staff will be talked to. In the meantime, you may call Lou Anne Willis, director of sales at 317-674-7300 and she will take care of us personally. She apologized profusely and will take care of any future problems(if any)

If you have any other issues, please PM me and I will get to the bottom of it

[MM03MOK]

[BUICKMAN]

Don't know if you all know about this:

Between 1AM and 4AM on Saturday, August 8, 2009, FOUR Hurst/Olds were stolen from 2 hotel parking lots adjacent to each other in Indianapolis, Indiana. There were over 125 H/O’s in attendance for the Hurst/Olds Club of America 25th National Meet. This was a calculated "hit", not a random crime. The thieves knew we were going to be there, they knew which cars they wanted, they knew what they were doing and they got us!
It took them less than 1 minute to gain entry to a car, have it running and leaving the parking lot. They used a white crew cab pick up truck and drove into the lot and parked like they were a guest. One person exited the truck and hit the car, then both left. They went back and forth from one hotel to the other, not raising suspicion. This was evident from reviewing the hotels security tapes. Following is a list of the cars with unique features about each. All of the cars had a roof option.

1979 Hurst/Olds black and gold
Rare factory moonroof
Rare black vinyl interior – drivers seat has a small hole from a broken spring
Chrome cover over the A/C pulley mounted with brass screws
Crack in the RH corner of the black dash pad
Switches mounted on the hood, trunk & doors from an old security system
Lock to actuate the old system is still located under the left parking light.
Also in this car that may be sold separately: 4) posters of Linda Vaughn and a 1983 copy of Hot Rod magazine with Warren Johnson on the cover w/autograph

1983 Hurst/Olds black
T-tops
All original 80K mile car
Complete numbers matching car
Maroon cloth interior
Small crack (¼") in the dash by the VIN
Eagle GT II tires with 500 miles
Black and white authentic 1979 Michigan plate with a 1983 sticker

1983 Hurst/Olds black
T-tops
Maroon cloth interior
Aftermarket stripes are more orange than the correct red
Jack storage decal in trunk has Doc Watson’s signature
H/O emblem on the dash has Linda Vaughn’s signature with hearts
Dash has minor crackling in the center area

1984 Hurst/Olds silver
Rare factory moonroof
Red light mounted in each wheel well for display purposes
Snaps around the underside of the hood used for attaching a cover.
Now it is time for us to find the thieves. Indianapolis News, channel 8 WISH TV did an interview with several H/OCA members including 1 of the victims. To view this clip go to WISHTV.com, click on "more stories" and then "four classic cars stolen". Anyone having information about any of these cars can contact Crime Stoppers at 317-262-TIPS or Judy Badgley at 517-645-7438 or djbadgley@gmail.com (djbadgley@gmail.com)
Please pass this along to ALL of your car friends no matter what make and model they collect. Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen to someone else. KEEP TRACK ON EBAY AND CRAIGS LIST FOR THESE UNUSUAL CARS AND/OR PARTS!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Sorry guys, my bike and school have drained my cashflow quite nicely. Had planned and looked forward to convoying with Zack and Dom. :(

[FW_Linc/Merc]

6 weeks left till MM7 and only 18 cars are paid for? Where is everyone? At this rate this will be one cozy event.

[MERCMAN]

There is a home game for the Colts @ 1PM. Traffic and parking MAY be a challange if you intend to visit the King Tut exhibit that afternoon.

Hi All,
I'm definitely planning to come; TRYING to get Friday off from work still..BUT will be there for SAT & SUN's breakfast for sure. Trying hard to get more Kansas and Missouri Members to join in!! :banana2: (I'm NOT staying at the Host Hotel however...will be at the Girlfriends instead....) Looking forward to my very FIRST Marauderville AND meeting more of you all!! :banana2::D

[a_d_a_m]

I was on the fence from the get-go but had planned to cruise down for the lap @ IMS.

Unfortunately, my division is now facing layoffs (not in danger of losing my job); to that effect my schedule is up in the air. It looks like I will be getting 'bumped' to a split shift to cover the manpower deficit and that means working weekends.

If I wind up with the weekend off and some free $$$ in my pocket, I will slide down and hang out and meet some folks.

[1stMerc]

Missouri checking in. Room reserved and registered.

[Motorhead350]

I've been really annoyed lately.... I don't know.

[Stangracer89]

Do we have an official count as of this week of how many cars we will have? I will be registering the 18th. So count me in.
See you all in Metamora Thursday morning. I'll be the joker playing traffic cop!
OBEY ME !!!!!!

[FW_Linc/Merc]

According to the registration page there are currently 33 registered. I assume that means there will be at least 30+ cars and there is still time for those last minute folks to get off the fence.

Hope that helps and hope to see you there.

[Ken]

I'll be there, just waiting to see if my guest is working or not, before I register and pay.

Sorry to hear this, Dom. Good luck with the repair. You will be missed. No need for the last comment...you are a blast to hang out with and others just haven't experienced that yet. Hi to Becky.

[Mike]

Trish and I will not be able to make this trip :bigcry: BLUE is getting a new motor (thanks Rich Long :banana:) and me FINALLY selling my house and moving :D. A good time to all that attend!!

Another transplanted Hoosier from Georgia and my Georgia wife are registered and hope to get there sometime late Thursday evening. I am really looking forward to meeting Ya'll. Bought my 2004 DTR brand new and hope to keep her around a long time.

I guess those two folks need the extra couple of hours to get ready for the car show. :P

Personally, I wouldn't miss out on the lap around the "Brickyard" for anything. I have been kicking myself for 5 years when I procrastinated and missed the first chance at MV II in 2004.

[Georges93LX]

Well this just sucks. I'm on the road again and so far it looks like my schedule won't allow me to attend. If I do it would be on the last day but I'm not sure yet. If I don't make it I hope everyone has a great time and be safe returning home. Maybe next year.

As a local you have selected two excellant museums. If you have time at the Studeback museum you have the option to include the Oliver house tour. It is an excellant old mansion. Directly behind the ACD museum is http://www.natmus.org/ and should be done while you are there. Just off 69 is http://www.kccmuseum.org/ not more than 5 mintues from the ACD museum on your way to Indy. You can spend an entire day just at the museums in Auburn.

I will driving down to stay with famiily Thursday night and will be tuning the car Friday morning. I am skipping the Zoo (been there) so I will see you sometime Friday night.

I see you are trying to get to Noblesville in the evening but you have an open invitation to a home cooked meal at my place if you want to stop.

ENJOY!

[MERCMAN]

Did GarageMahal make it to MV7? I don't recall seeing him there. Hope all is OK with Jevon.

[MERCMAN]

He was scheduled to appear, but had to cancel at the last minute,, he was missed

[Embassy]

Mercman, I and Mongoose both need dash plaques. He didn't get one and I misplaced mine the final day of the event.

Send me a PM w/your paypal and I'll pay for the postage.

Thanks.

I'll send it with your 5x7 of the Brickyard. I have to compile addresses since I didn't set addresses up during registration. I'll give a shout-out to those I need once I create the list. Any other MM.Net member attending MV7 that did not get a dash plaque, please let me know.
