As for me, I'm headed to Infineon today to be part of the shindig with Hendrick Motorsports...which just so happens to be the owner of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson's cars. Word has it they'll be there and I can meet them. They are my two favorite Nascar drivers, so that's the ONLY reason I'm not at the show today. You all have fun and get LOTS OF PICS and post em ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
It was a great show today. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Kinda crappy weather but that didnt stop anyone from hanging out and sharing some good laughs and chit chat.
Thank you to all that attended this year's annual show! Its always nice to see some old caford faces and some new ones as well.
Pictures from this years' show should be available for viewing soon.
Let's hear what everyone else has to say. What did you like and dislike? What can we improve on(if anything) for next years' event?
Thanks guys and gals!
~Lauren
PS This is completely MY FAULT but I forgot to present the award for the person who showed the most support in promoting our cafords event. That award goes to V-Town Coupe (Jeff) for all his super hard work. Congradulations Jeff and please pm me with your address so I can send you your award.
the show was awesome, i had a great time meeting new people and chatting with old friends.
one thing that needs to be changed is the fox body class. it doesn't make sense that every year of classic mustang is in the same category as the fox bodies.
next year it should be 64-86 mustangs as one category, and 87-93 as another.
other than that, it was a great show!
(and i like the red shirts matt)

I had a great time at the show hanging with drew, craig, mark, my girl, doug, lauren, well you all know who you are. I want to thank everyone that voted for my car and congratulate all the winners. i only have a few things ..not really feeling the red shirts (I like the blue ones better thats just my .02) and my biggest concern is the dang cat. A class I feel its unfair to put the foxbodies in a class with the old schools there are too many foxbodies hardtops and convertibles that are trying to place and now it seems with the upcoming of so many members bringing out pre-86 its seems like allot of cars get overlooked and there is only three spaces to win. In my opinion (like anyone cares) i think it should be pre-86, and than a 86-93 mustang. There was a couple real nice foxbody coupes that i thought would have won but with the old schools in they were negelected. So once again great show.. thanks for all the hard work matt, lauren, sawson, and others( sorry forgot names) it was a real chill show but i think for next year if there is enough participants the cat. should be split or maybe make one award for the old schools since there are fewer and the normal three places for the foxbodies. Thanks guys see yall soon

Next time maybe post up the show on other clubs websites like VMOA and BAMA, or go to their shows and hand out flyers for the show. But overall the show was good, I justw ish there was more cars.

sorry, i have another suggestion...maybe make the show a bit later or last longer....for the last two years, the sun hasn't come out up in crappy hayward until noon or later, just as everyones leaving. it sure would be nicer up there if we could have the show during the late morning till early afternoon, like 10 until 3 or so....it just seems to be over so quickly.
just a suggestion.

I had a grand time at the show, it was a lot of fun seeing allmy friends I rarely see. And a very big thank you to those who voted for my car so I could bring home 1st place honors in my class ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
And now my thoughts on changes for the big 5 show ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Show Hours: I like the show running for 4 hours (I tend to get restless after 4 hours), you cold always make it from 10-2 for those who like to sleep in (however 8-12 is peachy for me)
Fox bodies: They really need their own class.
Judging: I would like to see judging more like the Apex show where each "judge" can choose their 1-3rd place in each class (because its so hard to choose just one!), you could then arard on a points scale 1st=5pts, 2nd=3pts, 3rd=1pt or something..
Shirts: I like dark colored shirts, and having "girl" shirts available in a size that fit me was a nice suprise (thanks to whomever planned that!)
Anyway thats my thoughts. Thanks again for a great show!

I had a great time. Some really cool cars there. Nice trucks too!
This only my second show and first enteree so, it's kind of hard for critisism or suggestions.
But I do agree with splitting the classes a little more. And biasedly I would create a new catagory for the 05's+. Only because Ford radically changed the body style and it's hard to compare a 99 GT to an 05 GT. Just my 2 cents.
Again a great show.

Great show CAfords!!!! I had a blast! I wish more cars would have shown up but it was still a lot of fun! I want to thank all the little people who voted my little escort into 3rd place in my class, even though it was only three cars in it! lol! I should have entered the v6 class and won it all lol!!!

I thought that there was around 80 cars registered. Was that right? Did alot of the registered entries not show up?

the show was cool, i met new people and saw some really nice stangs and trucks. i wanna thank those who voted my stang in 3rd place but i do agree with you guys that there shouldve been a separate class for foxbodies but i guess there werent enough entries to make more classes. maybe next year there will be a better turnout and better weather.

I had the "old school" 69 fastback that was there and I will agree that the '64 1/2 to '73 Mustangs should be in their own class and have a '79 - '93 Fox Body class. Heck then I would bring my bone-stock black '89 GT convertible since it wouldn't be going up against its stable mate.
Anyway nice show.

Wow, I had a great time. Congrats to Shaun, Craig, and all the winners. The cars looked great and the CaFords.com moderators were very generous with the raffles!!! This was a great show and cant wait to see what next years will be like...
My only suggestion is that there should be either some entertainment or something that we could all interact in/with. Just from my opinion, i was there the whole time 8-12, it kinda gets slow after checking out everyones rides and voting and chatting a while, it kinda slows down. I found myself just sitting and waiting sometimes... I am not trying to cut down or say I didnt have a good time, but since there isnt a ridiculous amount of cars like the goodguys show, I dont think I could walk around for 4 hours looking at 40 or 50 cars... Maybe its just me because I have like ADD and always have to be doing something, but I think it would be cool if there was some activities or games or something to do for prizes (other than raffle) or something... But thats just my opinion, so if you think its retarded, feel free to say so, but I thought I would throw in my .02!
