Yeah I was looking at Laz's old SVT which Sean's Rieger came from for this year's but I couldn't get a good shot from his old threads. Mark's would be cool as well.

Just an FYI, Evan aka warneeJ on FF is trying to get a massive Focus Caravan going from Florida, I'll try and get him on here to see if he can get something organized

by **SVT3658** 2010-03-26, 11:24 pm

Cool!

by Kenzx3 2010-04-04, 10:32 pm

Just a Heads up, we are now up to 109 Foci Planning to Attend.

And Please Register Soon for the Dinner / Awards Banquet as well as for All-Ford Nationals. The Cutoff Dates are coming up soon. Carlisle is also planning on working on the Map soon so if we want a big enough area to fit all the Foci well then we have to be registered soon

by **PR1ME** 2010-04-05, 12:00 am

What are the cutoff dates?

by Kenzx3 2010-04-05, 12:40 am

Quoted from FF:

Just a heads up as a few Cut-Off Dates are quickly approaching:

May 17th is the Cut-Off for Registration for the All-Ford Nationals Portion of the Focus Rising Event Weekend. You save $10 and bypass the traffic log jam at the Registration Building.

Click Here to Register For the AFN Portion: HERE

The Cutoff Date for the Dinner / Awards Banquet is May 23rd as we have to pay the Hotel that Monday. No one will be able to register past that date unless a prior conversation has happened between You and I.

Click Here to Register for the Dinner / Awards Banquet: HERE

As for the Hotel we have no control over it BUT rest assured, they will start filling up our Hotel Building soon with Guests not related to Focus Rising. If you plan on scoring space in our Hotel Building please Call and Reserve your room now!

Click Here For The Hotel Info: HERE

The main Dates we are worried about currently are the Hotel Dates along with Registration. The Hotel is already starting to fill for that weekend, we have an entire building blocked off for those under Focus Rising BUT as soon as the other complexes fill on the site they will start to fill our building that we have blocked off. The second one is the All-Ford Nationals Registration as they start planning out the showfield ahead of time. If we want plenty of space to spread out then we have to get people registered soon as they will be mapping out the classes into blocks on their grounds map soon.

Damn .... Josh has been trying o call the lady and reserve our room but has not been able to get ahold of her. Have been trying for multiple months. You have another number we can try to get her at or anything?

by **SVT3658** 2010-04-30, 12:07 pm

So say screw it and come with us

by NHFocus 2010-04-30, 10:07 pm

Fawk...i feel like a loser for skipping this when people from FLORIDA are going. I wish it was two weeks later so I could hit it on the way down to you guys..

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-01, 4:54 pm

Dude, find a way to come. It's gonna be beyond awesome!

by NHFocus 2010-05-01, 6:53 pm

If I don't register til the day I go down, can I still park with you guys? I already have a place to stay, so I'm not worried about that. I just want to make sure than if I can SQUEEZE the trip out I can still park with all the foci Smile

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-01, 7:24 pm

Hell yeah dude, it's a big open grass lot/showfield and we will have a section saved for Foci from what I understand

by NHFocus 2010-05-01, 8:56 pm

If we can confirm that I can park with you all if I register the day I go down, expect me to be there. I'll make it happen.

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-02, 2:33 am

PM kenzx3 on FF or FJ. He can for sure confirm it, but I am 99.9999% positive you can Thumb Up

by NHFocus 2010-05-02, 9:36 am

Haha I've asked Ken multiple times on FB with no replies which is why I haven't made a decision yet :p

by Nliiitend1 2010-05-04, 5:05 pm

Turns out I have a 3-day weekend already that weekend... I may have to look into tagging along...

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-09, 11:10 pm

Awesome!

by Nliiitend1 2010-05-10, 5:12 pm

Well...

Now I'm not so sure, as not only are some friends of mine getting married here in J-ville that weekend, but that might be the weekend Adrienne and I fly up to IL for Job interviews...

Sad

I should find out for sure within the next week or so...

by Kenzx3 2010-05-12, 9:44 pm

Yes you will be able to park with us, sorry I haven't got your messages on FB, been extremely busy with work.

All Foci will be able to park as one big group on the showfield. Details on where hopefully this coming weekend.

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-15, 2:00 pm

Paid for the banquet

by NHFocus 2010-05-23, 6:04 pm

Bump, I'll be there Wink

At the dinner banquet as well.

Unfortunately, didn't pre-reg...so I expect to spend hours waiting in line. Fail Sad

Is anyone going to have a floor jack with them? I plan on cranking my coils down for the show/weekend driving, but I'd prefer not to do much highway driving in PA with them down...some of the PA highways are PAinful. Tongue

It DOES rub when it's down so I want to limit the damage as much as possible...haha.

by **SVT3658** 2010-05-23, 8:54 pm

Awesome!

I'll have my crappy scissor jack with me Tongue

by NHFocus 2010-05-23, 8:57 pm

I'll have one too...it's just a PITA to use where the car is so low. I cant crank it all the way back down cuz the tab on the jack hits the ground and gets stuck Tongue

I suppose I'll bring some pieces of 2x4's with me in case I get stuck anywhere, and to use with the jack. Smile

I was hoping someone was going to bring a lo-pro jack...I'm used to Matt (polarisman14). He always expected his car to break and would have a jack and a few hundred pieces of tools, as well as any fluid you could want.

by **PR1ME** 2010-05-24, 4:07 am

Sounds like a turbododge guy. LOL

I use to know guys that carried spare pairs of sneakers in their cars in case it broke beyond repair on them. Same people could change headgaskets on 80's turbo Dodge cars in under 30 minutes. LOL

I miss my Charger ... and LeBaron

by J_Train 2010-05-24, 9:17 pm

wish i could go but im broke and have no vacation time.

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-02, 11:07 am

What? When I took the SAT, I got there at 7:30AM and was out by noon. Don't know what version of it you're taking....

by Armanduhx3 2010-06-02, 1:42 pm

I dunno, but I can't go out of the country, come back for the test, and fly out. Laughing

I wanna go to Carlise next yearrr.

by NHFocus 2010-06-02, 2:57 pm

I never took the SAT... Dunno

by Kenzx3 2010-06-28, 12:29 am

Just a heads up for those that had their gas caps go missing, THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND! They were found by a Guest at Hotel Carlisle this weekend during GM Nationals Weekend up there. More info to come, they were turned over to the police.

by jakebrewer 2010-06-28, 5:13 pm

WTF? Its been like two weeks, where the hell could they have been?

DUST THAT SHIT FOR COMMON PRINTS!!!

by slocussvt 2010-06-28, 8:30 pm

Woohoo. Too bad everyone's all ready spent the $10-$20 on a new one.

So I'll let Sean discuss it more when the official threads go up on FF and FJ but no need to dust the police already have the names of the perps. As previously thought it was that Mustang Club. Every single room they had booked had a number of caps in each closet, 2 to 5 per closet. They were found when they were getting ready to use the building again for this weekend's GM Nationals at Carlisle. Every name that booked the rooms up there were charged an incidental fee (I believe it's like $150) and their names were given to the police along with the caps.

by **SVT3658** 2010-06-28, 9:59 pm

Awesome news!

by jakebrewer 2010-06-28, 11:29 pm

by slocussvt 2010-06-29, 10:57 pm

Sweet! Fuckin mustang owners. Does that mean we get our caps back, lol?

Sean will hopefully have more info on that soon, they were turned over to the police by the Hotel as it was stolen property so it's in their hands now.
