Kim, the parking thing as i recall it.
a few years ago they moved the SVTs off the hill and split the group in half. This was because the SVTOA president wanted all the SVTs together for the SVT reunion. we even had a few people sign up to park over there, but they basically forced everyone to park over there. Well they grossly underplanned the space needed for the mustangs and lightenings. they asked us to move our cars and we basically refused. they wanted to put us over in the overflow area, about where we are going to be now. they got mustang owners to move by comping them entry the next year. this offer was not made to us. the kicker was that some regular focus where parked with the SVT focus.
then the next year they just kept the same parking arrangement and kept all the SVTs together. So it sounds like they where about to do the same. so here we are again, basically being set into the overflow area for parking. I don't see why we could all be back over on the hill like we always where. granted the SVT area is nice and close to everything and level.
Its pretty funny if you think about it as we have to have one of the more rare cars there. right, to get 20 SVT Contours out of 12,000 made .... and its like its not important compared to the mustangs, that take up over 75% of the show field area, but with good reason of course. But then again the parking issues are not just related to us either.
So i am not crazy over the parking either, but I do like that the group will be all together. But as with Spring Zing, its about hanging out with everyone at the location. To bad the mess drove some away and the numbers in attendence are dropping. it was cool to have 25 cars and a big group of people.
