4th Annual Saleen’s Invade San Antonio - October 19-21, 2012
4th Annual Saleen’s Invade San Antonio - October 19-21, 2012
<hr style="color:#CCCCCC; background-color:#CCCCCC" size="1"> It's a little ways out there, but I want everyone in Texas (and beyond!) to clear their calendars for this one. For me and most of the Saleen owners that have been, this is the Can’t miss Event in Texas !! This event will include: Friday Meet & Greet, Saturday Cruise through the Hill County and Party in Old Towne Boerne, and the Biggest Show in San Antonio on Sunday. Last year it pulled 500+ cars. Below is the link to the show and it’s registration. http://samustang.com/2012_carshow.htm To get you pumped up for this, check out the pics from last year here: http://s1179.photobucket.com/albums/...0/2011%20SISA/ One of my favorite pics from last year: Saleens as far as the eye can see! I believe the count was 20 or 23. http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/u...011/SIS7-1.jpg There's still much to come on this, such as itinerary and lodging arrangements, so stay tuned! Event Contact is: Joe Mills / joesgt281@sbcglobal.net |

Do any of yall remember who had the rubber grommet pieces that fit over the
top of the strut bolt at last years get together? I need a set for a project....and Im not sure where to get them. |
Count me in
|
That's great Scott....list updated.
|
Dang I really want to attend but my job requires me to work weekends. I'll probably get sick on Saturday to at least make it to the cruise if that's ok.
|
Kathryn and I are in! We had a blast last year.
|
We invited Jason and Matt to this right???
|
Robert,
Advance Auto! |
What were they called????
|
|
See you guys there - for the 4th year in a row !! :biggrin:
|
Wouldn't be an SISA without the Yannuzzi's!
|
Remove my name please....
I wont be going this year but Ill see ya at the show. |
Guys, we wont be able to make it this year. We've got to many things going on and with our Speedster project all the shows/traveling we've done this year, the budget is tapped!
Enjoy everyone!:biggrin: |
Jason and Matt took SISA to a whole new level last year with tech installs, t-shirts, the best photography we've ever had, and just the good times and comaraderie....thanks alot guys!
|
Im in again, are we giving out the coveted "wanna be Saleen" award again? ? I wont have my paint job in time, but got something much better...

I might have a chance at that one, that "tornado intake" should give me a little boost in performance. A big thanks again to Matt and Jason for last year, too bad you couldn't make it.
|
Looks like you are going to have a great turn out.

List updated above, and a note from event organizer Chad:
Hey Folks! Chad (your SISA host) here. It truly amazes me how much this thing has grown. Last year was awesome!!! This year will be even better. We will copy some things and bring in some new things as well. I wanted to let everyone who has come in the past and stayed at the Boerne house know that we won't be able to do that this year. We have just out grown the house, and my mom's health (her back) is not good so I think it's for the best that we skip this year on staying at the house. Maybe next year we can return. That being said, I'm working on rooms down at the resort as well as in town. Stay tuned. Also, because of the generosity of everyone last year, there is 350.00 in the pot to help offset some costs so hopefully since we don't have a free place to stay (Boerne House) this will help. This event is one of my favorite things every year (even though I don't have a Saleen anymore) to host. The people that come are just awesome. Don't miss out. Please feel free to call or email anytime to give input, ideas, or suggestions for this year. I'm all ears. Looking forward to meeting all the new folks and seeing old friends. P.S. sorry for any typos. I typed this on my iPhone during a very boring seminar. Yours truly Chad Mowrey 210-416-7918 chad@fabricrollershades.net Or cdico2001@yahoo.com |
Chad,
Thank you for the information update. Hope Mom feels better soon!:wink: Please say hello to her for me. Hope you don't change the cruise route? :mad: |
RePost for Chad:
Hey fellas, Chad here. Wanted to send out a list of local hotels that I would recommend. They are all close to all our scheduled activities. I've included several price points so pic your choice, but none are dives though. None of them can host all of us, so we are going to be spread out. That's ok though, because you are basically going there to sleep only. I have " hung out" activities planed for every evening. I'll be sending you the schedule soon. CALL AND BOOK THIS WEEK. THERE IS ALOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN BOERNE THAT WEEKEND SO ROOMS ARE BOOKING QUICK!!!!!

When you book a room, please note here which place you are staying at. So we can at least see where most of the Saleens will be overnight at :biggrin:

LA Quinta. I stayed there last year and it was comfortable. The parking is not the best as the small lot fills up, but Ron Moser and I created our own places last year... :biggrin:

FYI, these do NOT fit the 05-09 strut bolts. I do have 5 pairs if any earlier cars need them (Maybe a give away item for the door prizes!). Seems an order of two is two boxes of 5 ea. :rolleyes: |
Fairfield Inn & Suites</pre>

Ill show and post part numbers later when I get home. I did the same thing. |
Mike,
As promised: You need one of the 02255 (each box contains 2) for your main bolt and two boxes of the 650007 (each box contains 5) for the 4 nuts on each side. Each box is $2.98 http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/k...psf03861d8.jpg So less than $10. Or $3 if you just want to cover the main bolt. |
:cool:
Sorry guys. That was just what I found on line to give Robert an idea of what I used. The ones I put on Chris's car last October are the same for my 01'. So I guess 1/2" are the right ones. What you don't like those really cool plastic strut covers! :eek: |
I'll be there with both saleens hopefully!
|
As an FYI - The strut covers dont ft.
The Racecraft strut bolt sticks up higher than stock and will not allow them to fit. Of course one can always "adjust" them to fit. :wink: |
OK kids, we decided to pick a host hotel and I finally got the down-low on the La Quinta rates and availability.

After that, rooms MAY be available, but they're not going to be able to hold them for us. ------------------------------<wbr>------ Location: La Quinta - Boerne 36756 IH-10 West (Johns Road Exit #539) Boerne, TX 78006 (830) 249-1212 Dates: Oct 19-20 Your group will enjoy these great amenities and services: - FREE Bright Side Breakfast® - FREE high-speed internet access - FREE local calls - In-room hair dryer, coffee maker, iron and full-size ironing board Rates: King: 10 rooms, $114/night + Tax, up to 4 in a room Doubles: 10 rooms, $99/night + Tax, up to 4 in a room Confirmation Code: 6062GRIXBM Each guest will be responsible for making their own reservations.
