OK folks ... here it is !! I just got the pre-registration sheet in the mail yesterday , and the show is set for June 3rd to June 5th . If you pre-register before February 28th the weekend will cost $30 . If you pre-register between March 1st and May 10th the weekend will cost $35 . From there on out , it's $45 . As usual , we need to get 25 cars registered to get the club tent 
.
I will have more info on this VERY soon , and will scan the form & upload it this weekend . As you all know , we had a GREAT turnout this past year (about 30 cars 
) , and I'd like to see it continue to be a fantastic CEG get-together from here on out .
More info to come , but I wanted to get this out there as soon as I got the form !
I was on the Cars at Carlisle website the other day and noticed the date.
I already have the dates marked and will be booking a room in the near future.
Let's hope that next year will be rain free and warmer!!

WTF? You jackass! This year's not even over yet! Is this like your crack or something?? What's wrong with you people!?
Oh, BTW, Terri and I have our reservations for The Hampton Inn right off the turnpike. 
I'll organize the Maryland-Virginia caravan up as always.

Hey hey---I can't believe I'm looking forward to about a 6 hour drive 6 months from now. 
God, I hope the weather is better than it was last time 
(can't say last year yet)!! I'll get the room sooner this time. BTW, have you decided which hotel yet?
can i bring my custom tour or is for more like stock looking fords

Yep, you can bring your custom 'tour.
There are old, new, stock, and custom Fords at the nationals.
I would certainly like to attend another Spring Zing (#3 for me) , but we've got too much time & effort invested in making the Carlisle show a great get-together to bail on it for even ONE year 
. Plus , this massive Ford show is right in our backyard .
I've been having some "issues" here , so no form uploaded yet 
. I'll get it uploaded ASAP ... sorry guys !
A couple highlights for ya ...
Boss 302 , 351 , 429 & Boss Eliminator get-together
Celebrating the anniversary of the Merkur
50th anniversary of the Thunderbird
Maybe we should have some signs made up for the 10th anniversary of the Ford Contour , even if as a spoof ??
I am going to concider coming this year, more so if i can't make spring zing
Boss 429 get together really? I might have to make it for that if not try to get my dad to bring his ...

Maybe the green and blue ones will be there.
Oh yea!
I uploaded the form , feel free to print it out & send one in ASAP . Be the first on your block to pre-register ! SEE IT HERE .
I'm sure there will be a butt-load of Merkurs there , there usually are . I DO think there will be more than normal , though .
This coming year is the 10th anniversary of another Ford car as well ...
*EDIT** - Lemme see if I can come up with a better way to d/l & print out the form ... maybe on my homepage ... gimme a bit
Allen, any way to rescan that? It looks terrible!
Forget that link & let's try this instead ... CLICK ME !
See how that works out & leme know . I right-clicked & saved it on my computer & it turned out just fab .
The link worked fine, looks good!
I registered this morning via fax.
I got my confirmation in the mail today.
man i wanna go so bad........but sz and carlisle might be too much.......commision jobs suck sometime
If enough people or rather cars register, do we get a tent like last time? That helped tremendously with the bad weather.
Rich S
Exactly 
! We need the usual 25 cars registered to get the tent . Each year we've grown in numbers attending the Carlisle show , and each year it seems they've given us better spots in the showfield . Maybe coincidence ... maybe not . The last few years , we've shown them that we can pull down consistant numbers , hopefully we can continue to do so . I didn't take my usual walk down to the registration building to get the final number (shame on me) , but I believe we were 30 or over last year .
Maybe we should try to make this a "special" event this year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Contour/Mystique .
What hotel is everyone staying at this year?

A bunch of us are probably going to be staying at the Clarion in Carlisle. Brian (Checker'd SVT), Tom (Wa2Tuff), Jason (I8Rice), and John (chknhwk) and I stayed there last year. IIRC, John is staying at the Hilton next year.
<-- commuting to the show =)
I am staying at the Super 8 Motel which is about a block from the Clarion. Anyone else staying here?

That's the one Pete. Got me the room with the fridge again, gotta keep the beer cold.
Juspifool: IIRC, the Super 8 is actually next door to the Clarion. Basically, you walk through Super 8's parking lot and into the Clarion's lot.
Thanks!
How many nights is everyone staying?
I'm debating between driving up Friday night or Saturday morning, and leaving Sunday morning.
I'm staying three nights. I'll be heading up on the second (thurs), making a mini vacation out of it.
Brian and Jason usually head up on Friday.
alright guys i'll register for this,it's closer than sz,gives me a little more time to get my car "finished"(imagine that!!) plus its warmer,by the way if i give my address to one of you guys could you mail,or fax me a copy of the registration,seem to be having some unresolveable issues with my printer!!!
Chris, PM me your address/or fax number and I will get the registration form to you.

I'm in, just need to register. Although last year was my first year, it will be nice to see everyone again. Anyone coming with new mods?
Glad you'll be coming out again this year Paul!
I should be sporting a few new things this year. Already did the PIAA 510's (it was nice to see them first on your 'tour) and a set of "eyelids". A few other things are in the works.
How's the Stazi mesh?
See ya at Carlisle.
Do wheels and 13" brakes count? If so, then I'm there! (Hopefully I'll be sporting a few more mods than just those...)

I'm still waiting to receive them, hopefully by tomorrow or at the latest Monday. I finally took the plunge and had MSDS headers installed.
Hope to show up with 2 cars this year, my SVT, which is still lame compared to everyone else's and my daughter's 98 V6 ATX. I think my son will be the other participant though.
Rich S
MSDS headers!!
Rich..your SVT is very nice! I didn't consider it lame by any means. I thought that everyone had very nice rides, modded or not.
That's nice that your son will be there showing his sister's 'tour.
Registered. Hopefully aside from the headers, I'll have a few more things to show you guys at the show.
And hopefully I'll get something accomplished this winter too .
i Am looking to actually attend at least one day this year. Things got all messed up last year, i ended up registering both my contours and getting a camping spot, but never made it out. This year should be different. I will make a banner or sign or whatever. If i dont plan on attending all 2 or 3 days, whatever it is, i will ship the banner/sign to whoever.
But as of now count me in. i will register later this week.
Right now I plan on going up Saturday morning, so if you are going later I can take the banner if no one else can. I live close, also sussex county.
Rich S
I assume you mean where in Sussex county. I see you are in Hardwick. Isn't that near the Delaware north of 80. I am near Sparta.
Rich S.
HA...lol yeah i mean where in. I only 30 minutes from sparta. And here i am thinking i am the only CEGer in the area.
Hope you can make it this year and we can have the North West New Jersey chapter meeting. There are mostly PA members there so a few more New Jersey memebers would be good.
Rich S
About to send in the registration for my 2 contours to meet the 28 February date. Are we going to have enough for own category and a tent?
Rich S
I hope we'll have enough people (fingers crossed) . Last year we had about 30 people , I'd like to see that number surpassed this year .
When you gonna start an attendance sheet?

To quote Allen: "Maybe we should try to make this a "special" event this year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Contour/Mystique." I think this would be a great idea. We need something to show up the Merkur guys. Talk about a "club". I never saw so many in one spot before. I hope parkedcar makes a big a$$ 10th anniversary banner!
What ever you guys think we need i can make.

Looks like we're still short for the tent 
and I'm almost 6 hours away but I'll still be there. There's got to be more people who would enjoy the h@ll out this. Will they provide one for less than 25 people?
I think some of the New England people were talking about coming down too.
**fingers crossed**
FWIW, I got a confirmation via mail the other day for this. We really need a tent. I mean, I *might* be able to get us a large ass tent if we don't get one outselves.

Hopefully it won't come to that but it's good to know someone may be able to help out.
BTW, has there been any discussion as to the food situation? I'd be willing to bring dogs, buns, etc like we did last year.
I haven't heard any chatter about food, etc. yet. I'm sure that will get started soon.
Doug to the rescue!
Brian (Checker'd SVT) has some tarps that he'll bring, in case it rains we can secure them to the sides of the tent to keep us all dry (and WARM)!
I hope it doesn't rain this year!
I mean, I have access to a probably 20 foot long 7-8 foor long wide tarp, but it would take 5-6 people to set it up...
I just reg'd online.

I might be in. Let me see what else is going on.
Nothing is more important than Carlisle.
4 more and we'll get the tent!
I sent in my registration today.
Now lets all hope i can stay away from those damned deer this year.
Only 4 more people?? Somebody DO something....like register! It's only a weekend, what else are you doing? I bet it's not nearly as fun or worthwhile, so drop it, and register!
So I just remembered something...my graduation night is the 3rd, but it's cool, I'll come up saturday and sunday.
**steps onto soapbox**
OK guys ,I guess it's put up-or-shut up time . I just got the tent reservation form in the mail yesterday . The form has to be mailed in by May 4th (that's only a week & a half away ) . By my calculations , we're still a few away from the 25 cars needed for the free tent . Let's poop or get off the pot , people !! You know you want to go !! NOW GET ON WITH IT !! SEND IN THAT REGISTRATION !! Or , if you'd like , you can do your showfield registraion online RIGHT HERE . If you're still on the fence , don't gimme that ! Heck , I'm doing Spring Zing AND Carlisle (2 weeks later) . You want the tent , right ?? You want our spot to get better & better each year , right ?? Then REGISTER now ! Help us celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Contour/Mystique ...
**steps down**
Allen, I copy/pasted your above post in the New England section.
Hopefully some of the NE people will come down. It would be nice having them attend with us.
Tick , Tock , Tick , Tock ... may 4th is approaching !
if we register for just one day, will you still get the tent?
My husband and I would like to go, but we can't make it for the entire weekend.
We'll most likely roll in with his SVT.
But if another car is needed, do you think I could get away with registering my Cougar and still help you guys get the tent?
Thanks Kim.
Even if you come for one day, as long as you are registered under "Contour Enthusiasts Group" (must use full group name) it counts toward the tent.
Not sure about registering the Cougar. Allen can probably answer that one for certain.
We're looking forward to seeing some of the New England'ers this year.
YES , (to the best of my knowledge) if you register the Cougar , it will count towards the club tent . All you must do is put "Contour Enthusiasts Group" as your club affiliation & we should get the number .
One day , 3 days ... everyone's welcome ! I'm really stoked about seeing everyone again . Someone's gotta remind me to take pics of everyone alongside their ride . I always forget , or am too busy flippin' burgers & socializing .
hey i may be able to join you guys in carlisle. i think i have off that weekend and i already printed the entry form. i will check and keep you posted. this will be first svt function cuz i just bought it about a month ago!!! and im lovin it!!
Welcome!
Carlisle is a great time. We sure hope you can make it.
Post some pictures of your SVT we'd love to see it. Enjoy it!!
Thanks Allen!
Welcome , oakuspokus ! You can register online too (the link is 10 replies up) . Hopefully we can get to 25 .
Hey, you're in york?
I will probably be there tomorrow after the show to the u-pull off of 30. Maybe meet up?

yeah well i work at sears auto center in the york galleria if you wanna stop by i should be they from 10 to 6 ish or something. and that is right off of route 30.
Alright,
I may stop by... all of us for the lancaster show today are meeting at the sears auto center at park city lol!
<------ *tries to remember exactly where Sears auto center is ...
well i didn't see ya lancaster but maybe next time... hope you guys had fun
I stopped by the auto center @ 3:30 where were ya?
looks like i cant make the trip. i was counting on towing the tour up there so i didnt run into trouble but it looks like i cant do that. and on top of that ive been working too much and will be working too much to get anything really done on the car. have fun and ill def try and make it next year.
I'm sorry that you won't be able to make Carlisle. I was looking forward to meeting you.
I am all signed up but i signed up under
www.contour.org I hope this dosn' casue any problems

Originally posted by I8RICE:

It may screw us up . I doubt they'll make the connection between the two . When they enter the info into the computer , they'll just hit "www(dot)contour(dot)org" & go on to the next one . The computer won't tally that vote to "Contour Enthusiasts Group" . That's why I've been very specific as to the club name on the registrations . You can try giving Kristine a call at 1.717.243.7855 ext164 , she can change it .
Is it too late for me to help you guys get the tent. I had to wait to see about my schedule, but it looks good now. I would love to take a roadtrip out that way. If it's not too late, I will register tonight when I get home. Hope I didn't wait too long.
You can still register. The tent form is supposed to be in by the 4th so you've got a bit of time left.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Oh, don't forget...Contour Enthusiasts Group. You have to use the full group name when you register.
Yup - register away ! We'd love to see another Contique there (and YOU , of course ) .
2000 Ford Contour SVT registered!
woot!
see yas there
Getsum111 is registered, finally. Will probably be out there Sat. and Sun. See ya all there
officially registered!!!! see you guys there
Glad to see we've got some people still registering . A couple steps closer to that magical 2-5 !

Do my eyes deceive me???? Do I count 25?? That spells tent, right, or is it too late?
I'm going to call down to Carlisle Productions to confirm the number . I called her a few days agao , but she never returned my call 
. IIRC , there are a couple people on the list that I'm not 100% sure if they registered or not , so I'm not counting any chickens (if ya know what I mean ) .
If your name is on the list , but you haven't registered yet ... SPEAK UP !! No beatings will be handed out , I just want an accurate list !! PM me if necessary .

**updated again ..**
First I would like to thank Y2KMondeoSVY for all the work on coordinating this effort. Now the question is did we get enough people for a tent? When I count the attendees I only get 24. Does this mean no tent? I asume we could put our own up. Let me know if we need a tent and I'll see if I can get one from my camping friends. I have a bunch of tarps but no poles. I am sure I can find some that would be more than adequate. Let me know. I will not be there until Saturday late morning though.
Rich S.
The tent is taken care of . I sent the form in by the deadline , counting on everyone to bring it all together and reach 25 . Of course , this DOES NOT mean we can sit on our laurels & NOT get to 25 ! We still need 25 cars to attend through the weekend .
Don't let the CEG down .
Looks like I will have to cancel going to Spring Zing because of school, but will be able to make this event. I'll work out a few details before I register, but you can most likely count me in. Should I register through the Carlisle website?
You can register through the website if you'd like.
Just make sure to list "Contour Enthusiasts Group" under group name.
Any word on hotel reservations? I can't find a single hotel in Carlisle that I can get a room in.
Did you try any of the surrounding towns/cities ? It's an easy ride in & out , even if you're not actually IN Carlisle .
Closest major city I could see is Harrisburg, about 30 min out. All the other towns around Carlisle seemed kinda small and didn't seem like they would have more than a couple hotels. Even Harrisburg is pretty packed. Anyone else have any other reccomendations?
Let me check for you tomorrow morning. I'll PM you with what I find.
I'm officially registered. See ya guys there!!
In regards to the events, etc... should be get there on June 2nd, and plan on staying through June 5th? And where is everyone going to meet? Will they have info on our tent?
Most people start to roll in on Friday the 3rd.
We usually just meet at the fairgrounds.
When you get to the fairgrounds (follow the posted signs to the proper gate) you have to check in, get your bag of goodies, and sticker for your windshield. You then proceed into the fairgrounds, just ask one of the staff where to go and they will point you in the right direction.
The tent will be up and a sign will be posted.
Did you get that hotel?
Awsome. Going to right now. Thanks LUCA.
I forgot to add, we check out of the hotel on Sunday the 5th, then head to the fairgrounds and go home from there.
Don't want you paying for an extra day at the hotel, that is unless you were planning on staying Sunday night also.

WTF ?!?!?!?!
What the hell , Chris ?!?! I thought you'd registered a while ago . I've been asking people to speak up for weeks & weeks now . Get your arse online & REGISTER ! You CAN register the day of the event , but we'd rather you get it over with now . You'll be the 25th person . I'll say it again ... make sure you enter CONTOUR ENTHUSIASTS GROUP as the club name (no abbreviations) . Do it ... do it now ... you know you want to .

**takes a bow** Thank you.
Christopher...you'd better register FAST or else. Or else you will be holding the umbrella for all of us when it rains.
One more thing Chris, will you be bringing someone with you to Carlisle? I'm trying to finalize the head count.
Still need to hear from Pete, Bill and Scott too.
Let me know. Thanks!

even though I'm still pooped from our trip to SZ, I am still pretty pumped about heading to Carlisle.
should be lots of fun, even if Elky (da nutz) isn't going.

Phew! I was scared for a second. I don't think i'd be able to deal with elky hanging his ballz on my car.
What makes you think that ELKY is the only one who'd do that to your car 
?!?!

I don't know.... you just don't seem to be the type of person to smear your balls on my car allen. I could be wrong, but I just don't think I am
I guess we'll leave ya wonderin' !

BTW, Matt R... I have your rear sway bar. Jim came over this evening and dropped it off.
OMG! You guys are funny!
Chris, thanks for registering!! You are car number 25 for the CEG! WooHoo!

Cool.
BTW, tour96se, I'm from NY, and I'm going.
So what time is everyone showing up on Friday? I'll be there around 2pm.
I'll be there in the morning so I'll see you when you arrive.
I believe Tom (Wa2Tuff) said he'd be there around two also. Brian(Checker'd SVT) will probably be there by then also.
Call me if you need anything.
I have not decided on a time yet, but seems that 2 o'clock is a good one.
i'm showing up at like 10 or 11
i wont be there until late morning sat.
My girlfriend graduates on friday.
Yeah, I graduate on friday too, I'll be up at some point on saturday. Probably 10 or 11.
early friday morning.
like 6am. going to grill some breakfast burgers like last year
I'll be up early too, but I have a 6 hour drive. See ya'll in one week!
Early Saturday morning for me.
Won't get to Carlisle til 9 or 10 Fri nite, but then I gotta pitch my tent (my brother and I are staying at Carlisle Campground). So I won't see you guys + gals till Late Fri. or Early Sat morn. I'm soooo geeked about this show, you would think I was a 10 year old kid on Christmas Eve. Please let it be nice that weekend.
Glad you got a reservation at the Carlisle campgroung Scott.
So far the weather looks good. **knocks wood**
See ya'll there.
i was just told that theres a huge line to get into the show?

�¿Que?
Whatcha mean , Chris ? Physically driving into the show ?
yeah.,..my uncle said he went last year and it took awhile to get into the field
Yea , depending on when you arrive , it can be a bit of a PITA . I doubt you'll find it be that much of a struggle though .
I'll be there around 10:00 on Saturday.

...damn rich...all you need now is a 2.0 mtx and your contour stable will be complete
Originally posted by tour96se:

There was a line to get into the check in area last year, but it goes fairly quick. It took about 20 to 30 minutes to get in and parked so I could check in. IIRC. That was around 5PM Friday, I think. It just seems to be a long time after driving for 6 hours.
PS. Matt, don't forget your trunk lid.
WEATHER REPORT looks like some t-storms
hopefully it will change in the comming days
I hope it doesn't rain but if it does, we're prepared.
Brian has some tarps and I've got some clips. We can clip the tarps to the sides of the tent and stay nice and dry this year. At least it's supposed to be warm.
**fingers crossed** Hopefully that part of the forecast won't change.
Originally posted by wa2tuff:

Lol I'll try not to! I just clay barred it, removed scratches, polished, and waxed it. Smooth and shinny!
I lost my registration card. What should I do? Can you get in w/o one?
Yeah, I'm sure that you can get in without it, may have to show your DL.
I'll call in the morning and see what the Carlisle people have to say, but I don't think you'll have a problem.
Check back in the morning after 9.

You'll be fine Matt.
I'm told that you are in their computer so everything is OK.
You
may be asked to show ID.
Drive safe and see you there!
were did you get this registration card from??? the only thing i have is what i printed up off my email account....
btw i'll see you mofo's tommorrow morning..and you lasy ones later in the day or saturday...
Originally posted by LUCA:

Damnit! Weather report has gotten worse.... looks like I am going to be driving up in the rain.
Chris, it's probably because you registered later and they didn't have time to mail the registration card to you.
Yeah, 50% change of rain on Friday
On a positive note, at least Saturday and Sunday are going to be nice.
Doug, how long does it take for you to get there?
30 minutes prob!!!! i'm at 5 hours and some change
rain on friday???? maybe i'll skip the first day and just come down for saturday...is the dyno open the whole time???
Originally posted by LUCA:

It took me an hour driving the I4 last year. I plan on making it in 40 this year (not on friday since my dad will be with me )
I want breakfast burgers like last year
I'll make sure we're there around 9:30 then.
Also, there are hoses available so that you can wash your cars after your long trip.
IIRC, the dyno was open the whole time.
nice!! i JUST got some new shoes for it...some fsvt's look nice
Can't wait to see your ride again.
I know you've done many things to it since I last saw it.
I'm heading to Carlisle in about an hour (yep, leaving a day early) so I'll see you all on Friday/Saturday.
Everyone drive safe!
pics up in....well pics/vid forum...
I'm leaving around 6:45am, so I'll see you all there around 1 or 2 ish. See everyone tomorrow!!
hell of a time matt..6:45..why not 7 or 6:30?!?!?! j/k...i'm leaving around 4am...save me some breakfast if i'm a little late...btw...i know pa is screwed up and you cant buy beer in a gas station like a normal state....so were is the closest beer shack???
ugh we're out
too much going on with us right now
we were going to just go for the day on Saturday, but it's just not feasible.
bad planning on my part I guess. I got overexcited and really didn't think things through.
So we're just going to eat the $35 registration fee.
Hope you all have a great time.
Sorry to hear you guys aren't going to make it , Kim . Now you can't grab that wine you were going to take back with ya . It's understandable , with the massive drive & all . We'll all drink a beer for you guys !
Enjoy yourselves guys....
Yesterday one of my friends kicked a soccer ball and hit my quarter panel, and now there is a very large dent in the metal on my passenger side....I'll see what the guys at the shops around town say, but until they tell me it's alright, I don't want to drive it, especially on long trips.
Sucks that it happened, and I feel bad because it's gonna be pretty expensive, and now he has that financial strain on him.
We don't care if there's a dent in your car . Just show up . If nothing else , it'll make an interesting conversation .
Originally posted by Y2KMondeoSVT:

He's right. Besides, maybe we can park it so no one will see that side, like next tent?
well I am still planning on heading out tomorrow morning and to spend the day. My parents are heading out tonight but they decided not to take my fathers contour since they didn't have time to wash it, kinda dirty from all the rain the last week or so
but I will be cleaning my car up more or less tonight and will be out in the morning
didn't read but is anyone going to have 2-ways on them? parents and I will have my set and we will be on ch12, so that is how I am going to get in touch with at least them when I show up
We'll see how I feel tomorrow and sunday...I don't really like to drive with it 'cause it closed the gap between the quarter panel and the hood and I can't really open my hood, so if something were to go wrong under the hood....well, let's just say it'd be real bad. Plus since I can't open the hood I haven't checked to see if it damaged anything under the hood so I really don't wanna drive it too much.

I will have one of my 2 mile range ones on ch 12 for you. For everyone coming, we are in area B39.
To get there, when you first come in the enterence you need to go strait. We are up on the hill in front of you. We are up on the top, so you will need to take a left then go up the hill. We have a tarp and there will be a CEG sign there. I will be there with the T-Red SVT, arriving around 9am. I am bringing a camp stove and stuff so i can make some coffee tomorrow morning.

Unless you are rubbing something I dont see why it would be a problem
Last year I was there in a "totaled" car. Mine was the silver car with the red rear bumper. This year I no longer have the tour and am headed to my 17th AutoX event of the year
I'll be there at 8am...no way do i want to fight traffic again
I'll be there first thing in the morning tomorrow . That's what the plan is , but I know ME . I'll most likely have my 2-ways on me , for whatever reason .
So we're on the hill again ... bummer . I was hoping we'd have the same sweet spot we had last year . Yea well !
Originally posted by tour96se:

Yo chris, if you see this please spread the word. We are going to park in the sections for judging. Non-SVT's are going to be across the street on teh other side of the tent... all the svt's are going to be up side of the tent... if that is too vague please tell christine that we will be where we origionally parked. Everyone can move back once the judging is over and we can be as a group again =)
Hopefully that isn't a big problem!
I should be there betweem 10 and 11 depending on how early I get going
when does regestration for the show field open up?
also do take rt 11, it will be back up as I remember, go to I think it was exit 47 on rt 81 and it is a straight shot to the gate
Originally posted by brapple:

Alright, gimme a shout on the radio when you get close.
Originally posted by brapple:

I'm pretty sure the website said registration starts at 7 am and ends at 5 pm for the show field, so you should be fine.
I'm sorry that you didn't make it Kim. I was looking forward to meeting you and Mike.
Dan, I'm sorry that you couldn't make it either. Sorry to hear about your car.
Did you get an estimate?
I got two estimates, one for $900 and the other for $600. Gonna get some more tomorrow, but I think 6 is the lowest I'm gonna get.
LMAO !!
As many of you remember I wrote to Car Crazy to see if we could get Mr. Meguiar to come to our tent to meet us and see our rides.
I received this reply on Monday (late, yes):
Thanks very much for sending us the information on your All Ford Nationals event. However our travel and events plans for Car Crazy TV are set months in advance, so I am sorry that we have missed your event this year. I hope it was as big and successful as it was last year.
If you could send us the information for next year, we will check whether it fits into our 2006 planning and hopefully will see you all again next year.
Thanks for being a Meguiar's fan and Car Crazy!!!
I sent off the 06 dates (June 2-4) and again gave our information, Contour.org, etc. Also, I said that we were looking forward to meeting Mr. Meguiar and showing him our Contour/Mystiques, SVT and non.
I will let you all know if/when I hear back.
Hopefully next year we will get some Car Crazy exposure!
So I've got a year to do some mods, huh? Oh, the pressure. J/K. That's great to hear, hopefully they will show up. I think most of you guys deserve exposure like that. Keep the fingers crossed.

Hey hey hey be nice... I couldn't ever spell good, in any grade level. 
Besides, I don't have a Duratec, so I shouldn't know how to spell it.
oh but you should....its the only reason you
zetecer's can modify your cars

Wow...I never knew. I can spell, so I guess I'm good to go
You're OK.
Chris doesn't always spell good either (
) so happy modding to everyone.
That would be great if more OH/MI, etc. people came next year. I'm making Chad (LilstrypedSVT) come next year.

Christine, do you really want more first place competition?
What exactly was the class that was won? Is there more than one contour class? Can someone throw the zetec a bone?
It would suck not to be considered for anything due to lack of cylinders...

They are two classes, SVT Contour and Non-SVT tour + myst...
so you should be fine. I won the non-svt class with a 2L auto two years ago ...
Well that's cool...so it's not like stock or modded, or one class altogether. I'm assuming you get a voting ballot w/ your registration...?
Originally posted by SVZETEC:

Nope, not stock or modified, the two classes are SVT and Contour/Mystique.
Everyone who registers gets a voting ballot. You get to vote for lots of cars with the ballot not just the SVT's and Contour/Mystiques. This year we could vote for our favorite Focus, ZX2, Grand Tourino (AKA the Starskey and Hutch cars), Mustangs from the "Yellow Mustang Registry", along with many other kinds of Fords.
Competition with Chad, I'm not worried. I go to have fun and hang out with really nice people. This year was a great time, lots of "never been to Carlisle" people were there. It was so great meeting and hanging out with everyone, that's what makes Carlisle fun for me.
Chad has to come next year, he's promised me that he'd bring the Ho-Ho's and Mountain Dew.
Hope to see you there next year.
An update:
I received an email from Mr. Meguiar's secretary asking for the dates for the All Ford Nationals next year. Two emails (from two different people)asking for the dates,
, I think that's a good sign. Well, I hope it is.
I'll keep ya posted.
Too bad I haven't used Meguiar's in years.
Shhh.
We want our 'tours on Car Crazy.
