North Texas Marauders Meeting Information!

[Logan]

Want to meet fellow North Texas Marauder Owners?

North Texas Marauders meets in conjunction with and as a part of The Lone Star Cougar Club, which is a Performance Mercury Club open to all Ford products. Currently they have 25+ members and have been in existence for over 12+ years.
If you've any questions, please feel free to check their web site http://www.mercurycougars.com
The NTM has existed since Early 2002 and had about 20 very active members during 2002-2005 with semi-annual picnics , drag racing, road course racing and a bunch of car shows. We also had the first national meeting--The Texas Roundup-- that became Marauderville I . We had 54 Marauders there ( I think that's right ). We have had an annual meet at Centerville, TX for the last few years. Our founder, Logan, was the power behind the whole thing and devoted a lots of his time and money to make the mercurymarauder.org one of the finest organizations in the car business---THANK YOU, Logan. In recent years, the activity has tapered off until we have a hard time getting 5 or more Marauders together. PLEASE, if you own a Marauder, get active in our forum so we can plan more events again---if you don't participate , we can't plan events. There are so many places to have fun nearby---Texas Motor Speedway, The Motorplex at Ennis, The Auto Ranch in Cressom, and hundreds of local Auto Shows that would be glad to have us--we had our own Marauder Class for 4 years. Sooooooo, if you want to meet your fellow Marauder owners, learn about the Marauder's history and meet some of the nicest folks---just join us and be a part of it.

I'm Maury Seitz, Forum Moderator, Activities Person, Historian and general Marauder freek who can be reached at cruzermm@aol.com or 817-296-3819 or PM in the Forum--filling in for Logan while he enjoys being with his family. It would be fantastic if we could return to our former active membership levels. You become active and I will guarantee I'll keep you busy---Looking forward to making a lot of new friends, Cruzer

Thanks Maury,
I was just up there today getting my state insp. done. Hopefully I'll have my valve covers and alt. bracket painted Ford Blue by then. Ya hear that Rumble? you still interested?

I look forward to it!

[forensix]

Oh wait a minute.....DAMN!!!! I have class on Thursdays!!! Maybe I can skip just one night....hmmmmmm

[rumble]

Mr. Petrograde,
Please let me know as soon as you have changed your VC's. Unfortunately I have to fly back to Detroit and will miss the Eagle
meeting. When you are ready I will make arrangements to get
the covers and lay the cash on you. Also, can you give me the
correct number for the Alternator bracket?

[Petrograde]

I can do better than give you the number Rumble, I'll give you my old bracket.

[Logan]

We should really plan a get together on a weekend or plan on going to a show or cruise... Thought's anyone?

[Petrograde]

Count me in,
Didn't I hear something on the radio about a car show soon? Like, this weekend? I didn't quite hear it all since I was busy swearing at some a-hole on I-30

[Racerx88]

That would be the Goodguys Show at Texas Motor Speedway Oct. 4-5.

They won't let our cars in, but maybe we could meet out there and at least park together. I'll probably be out there Saturday morning.

[Petrograde]

That's a thought Dean,

also, isn't there something car related going on at State Fair?

Tom

[Racerx88]

Well, there's always the new car displays at the Fair. Also, there's usually some displays from area car clubs outside the Auto Building. Don't know which ones though.

[Hemlock]

WILL BE A PLAYER FOR A CRUISE NITE , LET ME KNOW WHEN !

[rumble]

Dean, The Chucks Gig was great last month. Think you could persuade your Buick friends to have us back?

[cruzer]
