I'm planning on attending this year, weather permitting, wanting to check one off the bucket list. Planning on coming up on Friday put the car in the show on Sat. I was wondering for the people who have attended, what classes do they have for the contours? Anything special I should know? Thanks
 
Class 145 is for CSVT's. Wear a good pair of walking shoes if you want to see it all. I always pre-register. Saves time at the gate.
 
I saw on their website about the pre-register but was undecided because of the chance of wet weather. I would hate to lose out on $55 because it rained. I guess I've got until the first week in May. I have already taken vacation for the show so I really hope it doesn't rain because this is something I've wanted to do for many years.
 
I haven't been in a few years, but it always seems to down pour on Friday night and possible Sunday. I would just go rain or shine, unless the weekend is a complete wash out. There will be many more expensive cars there that where driven in the rain .... there is a spot provide so that people can wash their car for free on site.
 
Driving 8 hrs there, and 8 hrs back, then walk around looking at cars in the rain, no thanks. I haven't driven my car in the rain in years and the guy who owned it before me didn't the 6 years he owned it. I know it's just a Contour but I know how long it will take to clean it back up. I'm looking forward to see the event, I just hope the weather cooperates.
 
Glad to hear you're going for it. I only have a 3 hour drive, but it's still no fun walking in the rain all day. I will be registered in the Saleen class, but I always check out the whole place. See you there.
 
Five contours this year. I took some pics but haven't posted them yet, hate attempting to post pics here. I was there for only about 7 hrs. at the show, the rest of the time I was on the road.
 
No Title

Good job guys. It was an excellent show. Let's see some more pics! Sorry I didn't get one early enough to catch RTGT in it...definitely a nice SVT Tour, though.

Am I just dumb or on the RED tour... in the first pics it looks like it doesn't have a rear window louver...the last pic it CERTAINLY has a louver on the rear window...unless ur camera did some really funny things???

Either way whatever it is that makes it look that way looks AWESOME!!! and I WANT!!

I am BUYING my first SVT on Monday!!!! (OMG im freaking out!!) and I PROMISE to be there next year. :) Im in the lehigh valley

BTW Nice cars gentleman..glad to see you guys represent a TRUE American sports sedan
 
The first and second pic is my car, the last pic is of Paul's car. Both are T-red. His has a small spoiler on the top of the window, I'm guessing that is what you are talking about. Check the tags out or even the wheels.
 
O.I.C. Thanks I was freaking out there for a second..!! Lol

But yeah the rear spoiler looks awesome on the T-red :)
