Hopefully everyone's getting their registration forms in the mail!
Rooms at the Ayres Suites are still available -- book now as they will release the block of $75 rooms at the end of March. Also, we could still use a few more volunteers for early parking duty from 6:00-10:00 a.m. Free continental breakfast will be served, you'll get preferred parking, and you'll get to enjoy the delicious free VIP luncheon with journalists and special guests! You actually need to be in the gate by 5:59 a.m. or you'll be locked out, so if you're up to the task, let me know via PM by March 26. So far we have: 1. Jim D. 2. PonyPinoy 3. werecow 4. ExtrmStang#67 5. Bluffmaster007 Update: Now we have 5 -- Thank you guys for volunteering!

SMS open house RSVP
Entering my 89 Saleen #183 in the Knott's show and would like to RSVP for the SMS open house show too. One Saleen, two to three people. Can't wait to make it to both shows! Curious, we may also take our 2003 Mach 1 to Knotts, could it participate in the SMS open house show too? Thanks all!

Steve called me today -- he's excited to have everyone at the SMS Open House on April 9, and to see the SOEC members for dinner. And, of course, a cruise from SMS to Knott's on Sunday April 10. I frequently talk to him about events like Carlisle, and it just doesn't seem to work out in the schedule, but Dave is doing a booth again this year and we'll have SMS goodies for those who register with SOEC, so please RSVP ahead on that thread as well so we can get a good headcount. .

Saturday and Sunday are looking good thus far. Im going to run it, its not the first time the Saleen has seen a little rain. Don't let a small chance of rain ruin a good time and a once in a year car show.

I want to thank you and also Erik (ExtrmStang#67), John (Werecow) and Ben (Ponypinoy) who also sacrificed their sleep -- you guys were great! It takes well more than 200 volunteers to get 1700 cars parked in 3 hours, and you were a big part of that. I hope you at least that lunch with Steve and 5.0 and Super Ford's Tom Wilson and other celebrities was a great experience and makes up for getting up so early, and I hope you enjoyed it. It's not every day you can "have lunch" with Carroll Shelby, Linda Vaughn, Parnelli Jones, Willie Stroppe and Steve Saleen. To all who made it to the SMS open house on Saturday and the 20 of us who had dinner with Steve and Liz and Molly -- thanks for sharing your evening with us -- and especially a big shout out to Nightstalker for picking up Molly's and my tab! I also want to thank everyone who helped and stopped by and even those who simply showed up and had a great time! We'll get some more photos online soon!

Jim...
Had a blast! Made the trip to Corona on a brutal hangover especially for my buddy in the Windveil Series VI blown GT. He served in Iraq with me, & he and his daughter had a blast cruising & dining with the Saleen's & SMS. Great restaurant BTW!!

Its new owner, Matt B., just took delivery of it early Saturday.
SOEC sponsored his Knott's registration and he had a prestigious spot under the SMS Supercars tent. He also received his SOEC Member Decal and SMS Superclub hat -- Welcome, Matt!

I had a great time. The sun was out and there were cool cars everywhere throughout the entire weekend.
Friday I picked up Dad's E-Car and drove to Corona to experience 3 minutes of rain before I got under canopy. it was perfect though because I used the light watering to detail the car. Saturday morning up at 4:30am to make it to Cars and Coffee, Irvine where 281 Motorsports hosted a cruise. Paths taken were of meandering roads and a visit to the Crevier Classic Cars and a lunch at 281 Motorsports. About 2:00pm I zipped over to SMS for an afternoon of more cool cars and a visit into the assembly line of the latest SMS Mustang. Dinner followed with the Saleen family and new friends. Sunday I was up at 4:00am again meeting a few more new friends to drive down to Knott's. We parked cars and helped the SMS crew set up the tent and then strolled what seemed to be endless mustangs with accents of Pintos, Torinos, and Ford GTs. We then watched all the cars leave with a Police observed revving match (Cars in motion are way cooler by they way). I finally got some sleep on Sunday night and took my time putting away Dad's car not long before my 4:00pm flight back to Seattle. That was one fun PACKED weekend. Phew View photos of my trip and shows Here. It was nice to meet everyone and I appreciate all the hard work Jim. It was a memorable weekend. Now I expect all of you to come up to Seattle for the Northwest Roundup in July.
