DFW to Austin Cruise - Aug 4th

[ponygt2005]

**********This is looking to be a great time!! Tell your friends!!! *********

I am trying to get a cruise to Austin going on August 4th.

I just picked that day because I was planning to go down there for the MOCTAX 27th Annual Roundup...a co-worker of mine told me about them and I figured it might be a good day to round up some DFW Stangs and head down to Austin :D

If you are interested let me know. Also pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. If there is an interest I'll post rally points and more details here this week. Hope to see you there.

Who knows, maybe the sun will stay out and make it a great ride!

******NOTE: See time changes and NEW PHOTO OPP in WACO below******
__________________________________________________ _____
NOTE: I just received an email regarding parking. For most of us that are not SHOWING, they will have ample parking for us and there is not an entry fee as I mistakenly stated before. If you ARE going to show your car, there is a small registration fee. If you pre-register for the show before July 30th it is only $20 if you are showing and $10 if you are just "displaying" !!


Rally point/stop info:

Doing my best here to get this figured out...figuring on 4 hour drive with a few stops. We don't need all the stops below but just planning them in for contingency.

Rally points

North Dallas and East

Main Event parking lot on I75 in Plano - NOTE This is changed from the Best Buy which is on the WRONG side of the road...my mistake.
- leave 6:30AM

North Central and I35E Corridor

No one has stepped up on this so anyone in this area feel free to PM me by tomorrow night and we can connect - otherwise head for the Waxahachie rally point (see below).


Fort Worth/Mid Cities

D-Money2003 was going to anchor the FW rally point but can't make it - same as above - PM me by tommorow night or you can meet us in Waxahachie.


Final Rally point to get everyone together

Waxahachie - The Civic center on the East side of I35.
For those that are meeting here, hook up with Shoot To Kill...his cell# is in a post down below. I will be calling him as we approach and we'll be doing a rolling merge because we have a MUCH better photo opp near Waco and need the time to make it.
We'll look to hit Waxahachie around 7:15-7:30AM.

Gas, coffee, photo opps

Carls Corner
Too ripped up still...


Waco -
Cameron park photo opp - openroadracer3 will take the lead as we approach Waco and guide us in. We can top off the tanks here too. This place sounds perfect for a pic.

Final stop
Great Hills Baptist Church parking lot, 10500 Jollyville Road , Austin
arrive around 10:30AM (or so).
Here is a link to a map of the area around the car show.

Some have asked about a caravan back...PM me with your suggestions. I think we could grab a beer and a bite somewhere and then cruise back.

[openroadracer3]

is this the MOCA event? if so, i'll be interested in it.

i have a buddy that is/was an officer in that club and has tried to get me to come down to this event in the past.

[Tangstang]

sounds awesome!!! it is on a saturday... i think i just might have to go.

[Geronimo]

id go but its my birthday

[propellerhead]

We'd have to cruise at 55 mph all the way. I have 4.10s.

[suicyd]

Hell yeah. I'm in if I am home.

[CantGetRight]

Im game for that. So would we leave Sat or Friday night. Or how does this work?

-Carlos :cool:

[ponygt2005]

openroadracer3 - yep this is the MOCA event.
propellerhead - I can't drive 55 ;)

Registration is 8:30-10:30AM for anyone interested in showing their car.
Personally I am not showing so I was just thinking of just crusing down Saturday morning but I wanted to get an idea of how many were joining in before deciding on start time. I've got a couple emails out to the coordinators to see what arrangements they can/will make for us out of towners.

[openroadracer3]

id go but its my birthday

can't think of a better place to have a birthday than austin.... i love austin.

well thats about as fast as traffic moves on I-35. ;)

[openroadracer3]

here's some info on the event.

Here is the web site MOCA's website (http://mocatx.com/Home.asp)

Here is the Car Show info car show info (http://mocatx.com/CarShow/Content.asp)

The entry form entry form (http://mocatx.com/CarShow/2007EntryForm.pdf)

[Baller]

Might be up for something like this. Dont know If im willing to drive my car that far, it might blow up. May have to do some testing over the next couple of weeks :D I would have a couple of friends who would be up for a road trip down there.

How many miles? (How many times am I going to have to pull over for gas :o ?)

[openroadracer3]

it takes 3-4 hours. i should make it on a half to 3/4 of a tank.

[suicyd]

If I am in town, I am up for it. Let me know when and where we are meeting.

[Baller]

it takes 3-4 hours. i should make it on a half to 3/4 of a tank.

I wish that was true in my case. Right now I fill up every 75 Miles, to be safe.
And Thats usauly putting around 9 Gallons in :eek:

well after thinking... it will be closer to the 3/4 side. i get about 22 on the highway with 3.73's.

[ponygt2005]

openroadracer3 - yep Bob White is the father of my co-worker...I've exchanged some emails but I've never met him but he owns one cool stang! It was on the cover of Oct 2005 Issue of Popular Hot Rodding
http://www.popularhotrodding.com/toc/0510phr_toc/

I am North Dallas (McKinney) and have a few folks up here who are planning to cruise. I have a friend in Arlington who might be coming too.
And I know of one other in the FW area.

I am thinking 3 rally points (FW, Carollton, and Plano/Richardson) to make it easy on everyone - 1 point would be a pain to figure out since people are probably all over the metroplex. We can then merge at Hillsboro (after the I35 merge) for the final ride to Austin. I'll post a final schedule and exact rally locations this weekend.

I can anchor the Plano/Richardson rally point...anyone want to step up for FW and Carollton (or suggest an alternative).
I am thinking we start out around 8:30 AM Saturday for a 12:30 arrival - yeah its early but its just this one time :D

[ponygt2005]

I rented a 2006 GT 'vert to drive to Austin this week and it was on empty when I arrived.
My 2005 GT got 29mpg (there and back) last time I took it to Austin. I was friggin' amazed it got such good mileage.

[openroadracer3]

cool! i open road race with bob. he's a great guy and that mustang he has is fucking unbelievable. he showed me that magazine once before... you can say he was proud :D
here is a shot i took this april

and his engine bay
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p79/AndyKier/Bobs465.jpg


i'm in south garland so i'll probably caravan with your group.

a good place to meet up would be Carl's Corner. it would make one hell of a backdrop for a group car photo shoot. just an idea.

[TerryDactyl]

I'm a maybe on this.

[THE_dent_GUY]

2 Questions... 1) Are Bowties allowed?? 2) If yes are trucks allowed?? I have a 78 Chevy Shortbed Black with purple Ghost Flames, 454ci chromed out with 20's... (Not a beater is what i'm trying to say) If I can I'll go. I live in McKinney also.

i would go on the website and email the question to someone that's affiliated with the event.

i really don't know.

[ponygt2005]

THE_dent_GUY - From the entry form its pretty much a Ford only show - sounds like a great truck you have there but I think I'd leave the bow-tie at home on this one but feel free to contact the folks at MOCATX.

D-Money2003 - basically what I'd like to do is have you get to the rally point (once we figure it out) and just lead the cruise out from there; it would be good for us to xchange cell #s so we can be sure to hit the merge together. I'll post details this weekend.

Any takers for the North I35E corridor (Carrolton, Lewisville, etc.)?

Carls Corner is still being worked...I drove by a few days ago and I don't think it will be up by Aug 4th...I'll double check next week. Its being turned into a Willie Nelson touristy spot...right now the parking lot and all is still ripped up. We can definately find a few spots for photos along the way.

[Txstang1]

sounds like a good excuse to go to Austin. where is the meeting point for the collin county crew?

[burnso03]

i want to go

[CaMmIn'99Ta]

I might be down i was thinkin of goin and visiting friends that weekend so i might just tag along :)

[Qwn_Cobra]

sounds fun. :)
i might just follow.

[openroadracer3]

it will be fun... come on and join us. :)

[Shoot To Kill]

depending on if i'm shipped off by then or not. i'll take the drive.

how bad do you think it would be with the top down? :)

Sounds cool. i will pm you my number

[ponygt2005]

I will keep the first post in the thread updated with details as we work them out...still need someone to handle the I35E corridor. PM me if you are interested.

Looks like we have about 15 so far between all y'all and a few nibbles on other forums. Put the word out and lets see if we can get to at least 20!!

[Shoot To Kill]

if i get the chance to go, i'll be meeting at the hachie point. closest with no back tracking. hope this turns out great. i'll try to bring a few guys.

[openroadracer3]

North Central and I35E Corridor

TBD - somewhere around Carrollton would probably work
Need someone to anchor this. Anyone?
- leave 8:30AM




we might just have to go with just dallas and ft worth groups... looks like the I-35/carrollton area is flaking out.


BTW, Bob said there is plenty of room for us. i know a guy that works at a place that does up banners.... maybe we can do a DFWStangs banner and all park in that area. would be a great photo shot.

i'll check and get a price.

[CantGetRight]

Maybe I missed it, but where is the richardson/plano/garland people meeting?

I could be an ass, since there is no law saying I can drive to austin that same day I could just follow ya'll out in the bow-tie just TO ADD A LITTLE CLASS :D j/k I thought it sounded like a ford only thing so that why I ask. I wasn't planning on showing, just wanted to cruise with a bunch of car nuts. Anyways I will just catch up on the next one. I appreciate the reply though. I also need to add that this isn't "the_dent_guy" my screen name is Joe-Momma (i think) I can't remember my login info so i'm using my cousin's account.

look at post #21

[Shoot To Kill]

there's not much on the west side of 35 in hachie. best place to get everyone rounded up in hachie would probably be at the civic center which is right off the highway, but to get there, you have to take a few roads. it doesn't feed right in.

if this is agreeable, i'll get a map drawn up on how to get there coming south on 35E.

[Shoot To Kill]

may be a stupid question, but here goes...

my car is stock, except the exhast system. ( i don't know the first thing about car shows)

would this disqualify me from the " M. 94-04 stock coupe, convert. "?

[D-Money2003]

anyone meeting up for the ft. worth meeting spot? pm me so i can see how many plan on meeting up at 820 and 20

[ponygt2005]

Shoot To Kill - you probably want to email the MOCATX folks but I think their "3 or more" modification rule would apply to you and the aftermarket exhaust only would allow you to stay in Stock.
But again, please check with them to be sure.

i think i'll just go with the "display only."

(it's cheaper :) )

[openroadracer3]

thanks.

(it's cheaper :) )

i think mine has a few too many mods so that's what i am going to do too. hell, i am just going for the fun of it.




so what is everyone doing as far as coming back? i'm thinking about driving back that evening. it would be nice to have some cars to caravan back to dallas with.

[uberkewl]

i would love to go but i have to keep goint to south austin to go see my mom after stopping at rudys :D

i'm down for the caravan back...

[openroadracer3]

i'm down for the caravan back...


good deal..... i'm sure there will be a pretty good number of us heading back that evening.

looking forward to it!

[Shoot To Kill]

yeah, i think it'll be pretty kick ass.

as long as we don't all get pulled over. :D

[Baller]

Anyone staying down there for the weekend?
Im looking to get a hotel, A couple of us are going. Just seeing where and if yall are staying if so.

Im thinking of leaving Fri Night to college station to party with a friend and be there for reg in the morning. Then go and check in to a hotel and stay the weekend (Prob till Mon). Whats close? Nice? Samewhere we can have a good time after, maybe near some clubs or whatnot.

If thats the case then you guys should look at staying somewhere near the (sp) abereatum area. That will be close to the show.

-Carlos :cool:

[openroadracer3]

as far as staying... i might and i might not. i think i'll take stuff to stay the night just in case.

but i am leaning toward coming back.

[Shoot To Kill]

i'll definately be coming back. i have to work.

[ponygt2005]

Haven't decided if we are coming back that night or staying over. Leaning towards driving back that night right now.

As for hotels in the Arboretum there are lots. I've stayed at the ESA, Courtyard, Bradford suites, Candleridge suites and Staybridge suites (our Austin office was just down Mopac from there).
They are all right there around Capital of Texas and Stonelake. ESA is usually the cheapest.

[GT 281]

Hey i will prob go with the 20-820 group how many are going from there???

[openroadracer3]

Hey i will prob go with the 20-820 group how many are going from there???


PM "D-Money" and he'll have that info for you.

it's going to be a good time... you should go for sure.

[GT 281]

Sounds like a blast i have to see if i can get time off but i have two people owe me shifts so it should not be a prob

[ponygt2005]

I've updated the first post, but just in case....
I just received an email regarding parking. For most of us that are not SHOWING, they will have ample parking for us and there is not an entry fee as I mistakenly stated before. If you ARE going to show your car, there is a small registration fee. If you pre-register for the show before July 30th it is only $20 for Show and $10 for Display-only!!

But again, for those of us just going down to enjoy, we will have room to park all together.

Also, I changed the North/East side rally point to the Main Event on the West side of I75 vs the Best Buy which is on the wrong side of the road...it'll be easier for us to get on the highway from the Main Event.

[$leepyLx]

yeah, i think it'll be pretty kick ass.

as long as we don't all get pulled over. :D

They only catch the slow ones





which would probaly be me :o

[ponygt2005]

If one of us gets pulled over we all stop...make a photo opp out of it :D

[openroadracer3]

If one of us gets pulled over we all stop...make a photo opp out of it :D


exactly... i bet whoever it is gets off without a ticket.

that's why i plan on being right in the middle of the pack.

i think we're going to have a pretty good number of cars for this this.

[D-Money2003]

i have some bad news! i wont be able to make it :( . the mechanic said the earliest he could get my car in would be next saturday (August 4) sorry guys

[ponygt2005]

Anyone want to anchor the FW rally point? PM me so we can xchange phone numbers...
We'll catch you on the next one D-Money!

[Shoot To Kill]

Finally done :D

i thought it was easy enough for an out of towner...

any questions, give me a call. 972-571-8475 (state your name and also that you are form the board. i tend not to be nice to numbers i don't know :) _)

LAST TIME I GOT A TICKET I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK :confused: :o :mad:
Its just my shit stood out the most.

[Baller]

Im deff going down there I think, maybe not in my car. Might trailor it, if it goes. If I drive down there the day of I will et yall know and meet up. But Im thinking im going to college station the night before to party.

[openroadracer3]

so what is the approximate car count so far?

i bet we have quite a few bail at the last minute. :rolleyes:

[SBBII]

We'd have to cruise at 55 mph all the way. I have 4.10s.

You're kidding, right??? With 4.10's, 3000 RPM = 79MPH & 23MPG in my car. At least it was 23 b4 cams. :)

[Shoot To Kill]

just mailed my entry form :D

[openroadracer3]

.......

hey man, i talked to Bob on the phone today and he said we need to leave earlier than 8:30. he said people will start showing up around 9:30 and awards will start around 3. i want to make the most out of the day so i am up for leaving around 6:30....or even 6:00.

if that's too early for you, i'm going to leave around 6-6:30. traffic won't be nearly as heavy getting out of DFW... and if you're going to have a caravan, traffic can be an issue. so the earlier the better there too.

[ponygt2005]

Lets see what the final count is.
Who's in period, and then what time?

6:30AM
8:30PM
Later
Earlier

I am up for leaving earlier, but I think 6:30 is early enough.

yeah, lets get a car count first. what kind of responses are you getting on the other boards you posted this on?

count on me and a buddy of mine in his 68, so there's 2.

I'm in. I'm showing my car and will need to clean it up again after the 3 hour drive so I plan to leave Fort Worth at 5:00 if I can get my butt out of bed. Y'all stop by and say hi at the show. I have a Springtime Yellow 65 Coupe.

See ya there!~

see you there, 65 Mustang girl. i will be sure and interduce myself as 95 Cobra guy. :D

[Shoot To Kill]

count me in def.

[Baller]

hey man, i talked to Bob on the phone today and he said we need to leave earlier than 8:30. he said people will start showing up around 9:30 and awards will start around 3. i want to make the most out of the day so i am up for leaving around 6:30....or even 6:00.

if that's too early for you, i'm going to leave around 6-6:30. traffic won't be nearly as heavy getting out of DFW... and if you're going to have a caravan, traffic can be an issue. so the earlier the better there too.

all up for leaving early.
would liketo drive down in a group. if i do take my car i will be putting it in the show. the only pob i see now is rain.

[Shoot To Kill]

ok, since everyone's talking about leaving early, what time would the final rally point be up? because i have no idea where this church is.

[openroadracer3]

i think we need to plan on showing up at 6 and leave at 6:30 sharp.

so far from this board it looks like there will be 4 in the caravan.

who else?

[Qwn_Cobra]

I definately want to go. Don't know where this meeting place is at though. And I don't know ANY of yall.
So.. someone please help me get there.
:)

Thank you,

[Shoot To Kill]

if you can get to 35E south, i have posted a map on how to get to the final rally point.

if this is what we are still using.

[Qwn_Cobra]

so the red line is where we're meeting?
okay.. i think i can get there..
:) 6:00AM

I put your number in my phone just in case I get lost..But I think I know where I'm going.


Thank you!!

well the red line is just the exit, but yes, follow the green line.

IF YOU MISS THE TURN, DON'T PANIC! just keep going and you will cross some railroad tracks, AS SOON AS YOU CROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS, make a right, then call me. it's not hard.


hope to see the five people (so far_) there. :)

so this is in ft worth... yes.. and your exit is for people coming from outside of ft worth.. right?
i'm acutally IN ft worth. :)

[Shoot To Kill]

no no, this is in waxahacie.

if you're coming from Ft Worth, you best bet would be to come straight down 287. same map, except take the

35E waco/dallas exit. but stay on the service road and then you can follow the green line from there. if you would like me to make another map from that direction, let me know.

[openroadracer3]

why are we meeting waxahachie when it is north of where the 35's meet?

[openroadracer3]

Sonia, the dallas people are meeting at and leaving from main event in plano... i don't know who else is coming in from ft worth. that's just a little farther from the friday meet.

[ponygt2005]

We are using Waxahachie OR Hillsboro as meeting places for the (N)Dallas and FW folks to join up. The FW folks have a few options: come down 35W and meet in Hillsboro, take 287 and meet in Waxahachie (or I guess 20 across to 35E but that's probably longer).

Oh, and we were going to use the Waxahachie Civic center as a photo op too.

Once we get some more confirmations we can figure out what time we are leaving and then we can pick meet times for Waxahachie and Hillsboro so we can make sure e'one that wants to meet up can do so.

[ponygt2005]

Well I thought I was good for 5 Mustangs (including myself) but I have 2 drop out and 1 maybe...so probably just me + 1

The other couple sites I posted were a complete let down... :mad:

Looks like 6:30 departure is the target right? If others want to come down later just let me know so we can save you a spot.

That makes:

shoot to kill
baller
openroadracer3 + 1 (buddy in the '68?)
Qwn Cobra
me + 1
94StrokedSVT + friends?

65 Mustang girl (heading down early to show)

Any others? C'mon lets make this a showing!

[openroadracer3]

i think i'll have 3 counting me. that 68 and a 65

but we might have to meet up with you all in WX.

i'll pm my cell number to you later this week.

[Shoot To Kill]

haha, hopefully something gets decided, because either way i have to meed a friend in hachie, she's also a mustang driver, but not much of an enthusiast. but she'll be riding with me anyways. and i've told her that we're meeting at 6 am at the civic center, so i guess that's when i'll be there. you guys all have my number, (if not, check post #82) so if for any reason at the last minute you decide to reach my neck of the woods, give me a hollar, if i don't see anybody by about 630, i'll just head on out and try not to get lost finding this place. :)

[65 Mustang Girl]

This will be the longest trip I've taken in my42 yr old car so if you see me on the side of I-35 with the hood up don't just honk and wave.... haha

[ponygt2005]

We probably won't hit the Waxahachie Civic Center until around 7:15AM if we leave Plano at 6:30AM.

I was planning to have us all leave the Civic Center after a 10-15 minute photo opp so if you could hold on until then we can all go down together. I know you want to get there earlier though so I understand if you can't wait.

65 Mustang Girl...we'd stop :) But here's hoping you beat us down there w/o any problems.

oh, ok then. that's cool. :)

more sleep for me. but that's cool. i'd rather drive down in a group anyways.

i'm in no rush, i've already registered, i mailed mine in. so i'm good to go.

[openroadracer3]

ponygt2005 - here is that place i told you about. it is about 3.5 miles up Lake Brazos Parkway after we exit the highway. i figure it will take us about 30 minutes total to exit, park, shoot the pics and get back to the highway.

waco would also be a good place to top off the fuel tanks for those concerned with fuel.

once we get close to waco, i can take the lead and lead us to the picture location.

here is a map of the area. click on the "satellite" option then zoom in to see the place. it is the boat ramp area where the Brozos makes the sharp right turn. i have been there for the drag boat races and it will be a great background for the pictures. you'll see a boat heading north... the placed is just a little farther north... you'll see it.

[ponygt2005]

Hey thanks for the alternate photo opp...that should be great with all us there!

I just updated the first post in the thread with the photo opp change. I think we are good to go.

Have Mustang, will Cruise!

[Shoot To Kill]

this is going to be fun. but it's going to be too early :(

haha

[openroadracer3]

hey folks, we'll be meeting up with you on 35 south of I20.

ponyGT25, i have your cell number. whoever gets to 35 and 20 first call the other to find out how far apart we are. if we are ahead of you, we'll slow down a little and you all speed up.... and visa versa.

i can't remember if you said if anyone will be coming in from the FW midcities area not. f so, we can do the same thing with them once we get south of where the 35's come together.


looking forward to seeing all those who participate!

[Shoot To Kill]

looking forward as well.

OH! if anyone reads this before they leave tomorrow morning...

if you have a fuel pressure checker/guage PLEASE BRING IT. i haven't the money to buy one right now, and this might fix my misfire problem. thanks in advance if anyone brings one.

sonia hit at least 135-140 when she flew by me. i was doing at least 120...

[Racewerx]

I had a great time on this run. I was in the white & blue 68. Must say I enjoyed all I met and hope to do so again soon. BUT where the Hell did you guys go after the show?? :confused:

[Shoot To Kill]

haha, i jetted out at about 230. i went out with a friend who lives there in austin.

[ponygt2005]
