6th Annual Gullo Ford Weekend May 8-10, Conroe (Houston area) TX!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
**RESCHEDULED FROM APRIL 10-12 DUE TO WEATHER**

Hey Saleen-fiends, whose ready to start getting out with your fellow Saleen-brethren this year? Our usual kick-off, as will be again this year, is the Gullo 6th Annual All-Ford Car Show, hosted by the Northside Mustang Car Club on May 9. Located at Gullo Ford in Conroe, TX, NMCC and the great folks at Gullo pull out the stops to make this a great event.

This year will include trophys for 1st and 2nd place in many categories. Gullo is providing free burgers and sodas as has been their generous history. The show will run from 9am to 4pm. Registration cuts off at noon and is $25. Gullo Ford is located at 925 I-45 North in Conroe, Tx on the north side of Houston.

This has traditionally been the big event for the Houston area for the year, normally drawing over 20 fine Saleens from all over the state. This year we’re bringing back the multi-day/multi-event concept called the Gullo Ford Weekend! We will have organized dinners, a piney-woods cruise, and possibly other events.

This years event is going to follow the same format of the GFWs in the past with a fun-filled itinerary (Apr 10-12):

Friday Nite: Meet and greet Dinner
Saturday: Gullo All-Ford Car Show
Saturday Nite: Drinks and Dinner
Sunday: Piney Woods Cruise/Fantastic Gullo Museum Tour

Our great host hotel for the 2013 Nationals, the Holiday Inn Express in Conroe, will once again host us for our Gullo Ford Weekend!
For reservations call 936-788-5200.
We've got a block of rooms, both Queen doubles, and Kings, for $104.95/night.
Our reservation code is "SALEENCLUB"
They feature a great complimentary breakfast.
The hotel is located just up the freeway from Gullo Ford so it will be convenient to everything, including excellent dining options.
It's located at 2240 Stoneside, Conroe, TX 77303

A great event deserves a great flyer....

Big thanks to Scott for putting together a beautiful flyer for this years event! (See attached)

Scott's heading over on Saturday morning from the Austin area and offered to lead a group over:
"I'll be going to Houston from Round Rock on Saturday morning...if anyone wants to drive with me we can do that. It will be early. I'll post up details when I get them."

Anybody else willing to lead groups in, either Friday or Saturday? Let me know and I'll get the word out.

I might be able to attend, but the only thing is my car is down for a head repair. Hopefully it can be finished by that time.

EXTREME12 04-29-2015 12:56 PM

Great you can make it!
Not that it's necessary to participate, but not clear...are you bringing the car or not?

EXTREME12 04-29-2015 11:25 PM

It depends if I get the head back from the shop and get the car back together in time. It's still up in the air right now.

joesgt281 05-05-2015 09:36 AM

It's just about here!!!
Finally getting to get together with all the cool Saleen peeps at the first Saleen get-together for Texas this year!
The weather looks a little iffy, but who cares....they get wet when you wash them anyway!
Not to mention, Texas weathermen have been close to 100% wrong this year anyway.
So let's get as many as we can out for this so we can take home (again!), the club participation award at the car show on Saturday!!
Please give me an idea of your itinerary so we can get a head count for our various activities.
And if you're coming in from out of town, and want to cruise in with others, let me know and I'll try to get yall together.
