man this whole love bug thing is freaking me out a bit. There is no way to get a bra on with my chin spoiler also I have a black car.
driving like 500 miles is really gonna suck

 

The complete 30th anniversary program has been published in the august 2006 issue of Mustang Monthly.
Yes there is a "Pony Tail" cruise thursday night from the track to Homewood. That s where my business is located. There are plans for a block party in the Downtown area. Blocking off streets etc.
Check out the judging schedules in the magazine also, has a complete listing of classes. Also doing a photo class for cars that can not be there, just bring pictures.

Yes that would be GREAT. Deffinately gonna need a car wash after that drive

 

Good lord Brad, you killed quite a bit of the love bug population

Luckily they dont get that bad here.. i think thats only down your way

 

Aww Crap- How am I gonna get two of em there, and one in the YMR corral and One in the TMS Corral?
The Hubby still isn't on board for this one.

 

What about meeting on Taylor road? Taylor road is right before Montgomery and runs between 231 and I-85 it would be an easy place for people coming from either way. There is a large shopping center off of the interstate and we could meet at the Target there say between 2 and 2:30? From there it is a little over an hr to Birmingham.

 

not sure of helmet size, but if I am unable to come up with one I will take you up on that offer.

Thanks

 

Yes. I know the road.
That would be fine with me, but after seeing Brad's pics, I'm worried about the love bugs. Thinking about leaving a little later or a lot earlier.

 

I think if you were going south you would need to worry about the love bugs, but since you are going north should not be an issue. We never have them up here around Auburn and Montgomery (sure as I say that we will get flooded with them this year). Guess will just need to wait till closer to time of the event to see how bad they are.

 

Have been at Barbers for the weekend (Rolex Races), the MCA event will be great there. Such a nice facility and such a great place for this event.
All parking areas except paddock are on beautiful manicured Zoyia grass that looks beter than any homeoweners lawn I have ever seen.

The Car corral area, was in use today by BMW & Mini owners, also a few
Stangs there. A really nice Shinona Cobra (red with gold stripe trim), was looking good.
See you in a couple of weeks.

The cruise is coming to Homewood, thats where our shops are located. We will have parking available for TMS cars. We are located on 18th street between 26th & 27th aves.
Less than ablock from the party.
Looking forward to seeing ya!

Tommy, can you give more info on the cruise.. (i.e. when etc.)

 

I used to live over in Alabaster, but I cannot for the life of me place what 18th street is close to.

What is near it?

Thanks

 

Thats gonna be the Birmingham end of homewood......Not in Alabaster.

Ahh ****. Looks like I am just going to spectate. Neither of my mustangs are going to be entered, but both us mustang owners will be there to see everything and whatnot. I be broke with a Capital B!

 

Is it over near Lakeshore drive or Greensprings Av?

 

I will be at the show unveiling a New Product--A Temporary Clear Car Bra, below is the information sheet I have been working on.

I tried to download a file, its to big. I tried to Copy and Paste, it wouldn't work.

Basically AutoShield is a water based paint on liquid that dries crystal clear and creates a temporary protective film (like a clear bra). It protects the front of your car from bugs and if you use more than one coat it protects against rocks. It only takes a few minutes to paint on with a foam brush. When you want to remove it, you just lift up a corner and peel it off. Most of the time it comes off in one piece, any residue is easily washed off with a garden hose sprayer. I have been testing this stuff for 7 months and it works

 

That'll be a little too late for me. Any chance you want someone to demonstrate it for you so I could have some for the trip up there?

 

I have a couple of guys here testing it. I really don't have any to sell right now, I am "ramping up" production so I can have some for the Show. You will be able to get some for the trip home.

 

Just got the latest issue of Mustang Times and it said the History Channel will be there filming on Saturday. Maybe one of our cars will be on TV.

Also, The Great American Pony Drive will be organizing caravans to the show. http://www.ponydrive.us/

18th street is the main drag (street) through downtown Homewood. It is 20th street in downtown Birmingham. Once it comes over Red Mountain, past Vulcan, Mc Donalds, Etc. it changes to 18th Street Homewood.

Scott the cars are supposed to leave Barbers 5:00 -6:00 p.m. according to schedule that has been published. The city of Homewood is blocking streets at 5:00 in anticipation of the crowds.

Our 2 parking lots are on 18th street between 26th & 27th avenues.
We re less than a block from the party/ bandstand area, if they put it where they say they are going to.

The map that is in the MCA program is not very clear with location.
Same map as in magazines.

Scott, we are across the street from Wolf Camera and de Vinci's Pizza.
