Roll Call: Who is all coming in for the Knotts show? We havent heard if Saleen isnt having an Open House and we are thinking they wont due to all the efforts at both 50th events. We've had several phone calls and emailes....so IF Saleen doesnt have an open house we may plan another cruise and end up at Saleen for the SOEC dinner.

Saleen open house on Saturday evening has yet to be confirmed... there is a lot of traveling for the Saleen camp in April, so please understand their plans for Saturday are still up in the air.
Stay tuned.

Sorry for the last minute updates:
Steve will not be in attendance at Knott's -- he is traveling to Beijing. Saturday's traditional Open House for members at Saleen is canceled -- if you want a tour, best get over to Saleen from 8:30-5:00 during the week and ask for a tour and someone would be glad to show you around. Jason at 281 Motorsports talked about organizing something, so stay tuned. Saturday night's dinner is open to anyone who wants to attend... we'll have restaurant information shortly, but plan around 5:30. My cell is 714-580-3572. Sunday's cruise to Knott's will be smaller-scale and on our own -- with all the Saleen family traveling, we won't have any Saleen-family escorts this year. Molly is flying-in late from the New York Auto Show and will meet us at Knott's in the morning. All vehicles welcome! Meet at Saleen at 8:00 for departure at 8:15. I will not be there as I will already be at Knott's, but someone please take charge. :)

Great, I'll be there with my rental Hertz Penske GT.
I spoke to you on Friday at the 50th in Las Vegas, where you mentioned this. May you can have a look at what Penske did to this car, because the suspension is so tough. It maybe track-wörthy, but it handles terrible on the streets of L.A.

Is this strictly for Fords?
Quote:
I'm a brand new member here, and am eager to attend my first Saleen event. I got an email regarding the event coming up this weekend, and would love to attend Sunday, but I have a non-Ford Saleen (an S620 Camaro in fact) At the risk of possibly asking a dumb question, is this an all-Saleen event as well, or strictly Ford Saleens? Thanks. |

Good question. Lets ask Jim.

Sorry, but it's Ford Saleens at this event. If you can attend Saturday, you're welcome to join us, and of course as a spectator please come to Sunday's show. And plan ahead on September 20 for the Saleen Show.

Jason, your effort for the last minute BBQ was well apriciated,
An earlier announcement would probably geather more Mustangers. The drive on the backroads was great. I got to meet a couple guys from the forum @ the SOEC dinner. Knotts made up for what the 50th at Las Vegas lacked. Great cars, well organised. I got 1 scalectrix Trans-Am model signed by George Folmer and 2 signed by Parnelli Jones. PJ even remembered me frrom my visit to his race-car collection, back in 2011. Just as Saleen was packing for the day, I got a hold of a couple Saleen GF-edition poster, and even got Molly to sign the poster and have a picture taken with her. I will definitly visit this show again.

Dutch-Twister,
Thanks for the compliment! We actually didnt have any plans to do anything this year due to our massive involvement with the 50th Anniversary Mustang Celebration in Las Vegas. We had kind of thought about it, but it wasnt until Jim D. mentioned to us that the Saleen family would be out of town and couldnt host anything for club members. Jim asked us to throw a welcoming party and plan the SOEC dinner, naturally we did as we were honored to be asked. So with only a few days notice, I rallyed the exhausted team and warmed up the bbq.

Saleen Display
Here is a short video of the Saleen Display at Fabulous Fords. It's not the best quality but it's better than nothing. I had a great time and loved meeting Jim for the first time! The SOEC had a great showing! Loved all the Saleens!!
