Event Coverage !!!!! "Merc Drive In" February 6-8th,2009 Sacremento Autorama

Bob...Check the Sacramento Autorama thread, there's a whole list of hotels.

 

I saw that last night after I got on here. Thanks...

 

Bob, we're gonna get the details on this Merc Drive in real soon. Did you get applications sent to you? Axle

 

Yes,John sent me one by E-mail. Haven't recieved anything from you yet.

 

Just recieved a message about the show. There will be Suede Palace,OUTSIDE PARKING! And there will be Merc,OUTSIDE PARKING! Two and three day passes. Or you can just drive in on Saturday,for the Merc Drive In. If you get an aplication,mail or internet,write MERC OUTSIDE,in the upper right of the form. Any questions,PM me...

 

looks like this will be a great event!!! i'll be there!!

 

Bringing this back on top. C'mon guys lets get So Cal, Nor Cal, Oregon,Nevada,and Washington Merc owners to gather all around the Merc building !

 

Sent registration off last week...oh I'm going!

 

Maybe the Halloween Merc will make it, I know its your favorite, Bob!!!

 

If only I could drive mine up. I'll just have to "settle" for plane tickets and a bib to catch the drooling.

 

It's definately a close second!!!!

 

I'd bring a plastic pancho,LOL....for eveybody elses drool too!

 

Lots of interest. Keep it coming guys.

 

LOL. My dad's first car was a 51 Merc sedan that he started customizing in 1958 or 59 as a senior in high school. I think he was happier than me when we picked up my 51 a couple of months ago. I'm pretty happy he will get to make this trip with me. He took me to my first Merc show (Mid Century Mercury Club show) in '82, and now I get to bring him to this one.

 

So admittance to the merc drive in is separate from the Sacramento Autorama? Will have a car in the reunion if that matters.

 

No,that's not what I said. I said the Merc Drive In was on Saturday only,and it includes entrance to the show. I have been told that there might be Merc parking inside for Friday and Sunday also,but not confirmed yet by the Promoter.

 

Introduce me to him. Look for me!

 

You know I be looking for you! I intend on being at your car at noon on Saturday to meet you and anyone else that shows up so I can put names with faces. Well, actually, I will only have a name with a face for a little while since I am terrible with names. LOL.

 

Hello everyone. It is confirmed. All "DRIVE IN" can park next to the Merc building as early as Friday. Cars can be left until Sunday.

Bob will have Drive In registration forms in the next day or so. Anyone wanting one please contact him. Thanks Bob !
