That sure does sound like fun! If it were only on a weekend other than the Nascar race weekend. If I didn't pay for an infield motorhome spot I would ditch the race and go!

The Hotel at Knott's has been sold out, but you can still get rooms across the street at the Radisson for $129 a night if you ask for the Fabulous Fords Rate (Hey, its a good rate for SoCal). A lot goes on in the parking lot at the Knotts Berry Hotel the Saturday night before.

Your going to miss out on something big if you don't take Rocky Trish. Ther first year you go. you got to get up extra early to wait in line. It's like waiting to get into the Indy 500, or Super Bowl! (Really!)

If you leave Rocky at home, get to the gate early to watch the Cars as they go in, It's the only way you will see all 1800 of them!

Get your registration for Rocky mailed in Trish, you won't regret it!

As I have said earlier, I do not have the money for everything. I am going in on a hotel room with Jim and Laura as it stands now. Oh we will be up early to see it trust me. I wish I make all kinds of money then yes it would not be a problem. But I sadly do not :(

can i get more info!!!!!!

Sure,
Go to www.fordcarclubs.org (http://www.fordcarclubs.org) for more info, registration Closed on April 1, assuming that it did not sellout earlier. There will be between 1600 and 1800 Fords parked in the lot on the eastside of Knott's Berry (60% of them Mustangs). It is really about hanging out with other Car owners, and seeing what they have done to thier Cars, so if you can find a room in, or near Buena Park CA you are welcome to Caravan over with members of the CMC.

The CMC, and the director of the Ford Advantage Program at Glendale Community College, will be hosting an all Ford Show Oct 27, at GCC. We have high hopes for the future of this Show, as it benefits a Scholarship Program for deserving Students of the GCC Advantage Program.

The first of the Copperstate Mustang Club group that went to Knotts Berry/Fabulous Fords got back into town around 9 PM last night.

Mustang Fanatics if you havn't been to this show, you have to go at least once, just to see what all the excitement is about. There were 1809 Fords registered, the Club volunteered to help park entrents, and was assigned Class 45 Fox Hardtops (Foxes Forever!), with 74 Cars entered.

The highlight of the weekend for me was the tour of the Saleen Factory (I want a Parnelli Jones edition in the worst way!) on Saturday. Followed by a trip to the Mall, and the Saleen Shop (Only in Car Crazy California), and a ride in the PJ Boss. The exhaust note in that Car is tuned to perfection, and even resonates in the trunk, like stereo speakers.

It's a good time, just hanging out with the the other owners, seeing what they have done to their Cars, and finding out what the other Clubs are planning for the year.

San Diego is the second weekend in October, and another "Must see Carshow".

Hope to hear from the slowpolks when they get back into town!

It would be one of the last 2-3 built out of the production run of 500 Chris. Word is that they have allready built 340-350, and most of the rest have been spoken for by Dealers, and existing orders, with the last 2-3 to be sold by the Saleen Store at MSRP.

Confirmed no Boss 9's at the Saleen Plant. But I know of two, sitting in a Warehouse in downtown Prescott.
