THE SCHEDULE
THURSDAY for the Early Birds, there will be a cruise down to Wellborn Muscle Car Museum. We’ll eat lunch there then cruise back up through the Talladega National Forest stopping at the Talladega Superspeedway where you’ll have the opportunity to make a couple of hot laps around the 2.66 mile high banked oval and visit the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

THURSDAY EVENING will be our Early Bird meet & greet at the host hotel, sponsored by Saw’s BBQ.

FRIDAY will be a driving tour stopping at Old Car Heaven in downtown Birmingham for lunch and then cruising back to the hotel.

FRIDAY EVENING is our Welcome Bash – This event will be held in the atrium of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts.

SATURDAY is the National Show. Want your car signed by Steve Saleen? He’ll be there, along with Liz and Molly! There will also be parade laps on the track from noon to 1:00 PM if you want to see the track from the driver’s seat and there will also be High Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) so you can learn what your car will really do if you choose! The HPDE will be four 20-30 minute sessions on the track (based on number of registrations) with an instructor sitting right beside you. We’ll also have a Powder Puff division (one 20-30 minute session) for the ladies that don’t want to mix it up with the men.

SATURDAY EVENING we’ll be off to dinner, set on the ground floor among the vintage cars at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, sponsored by NAPA AutoCare Centers. Be sure to register for this event as Steve Saleen will be the guest speaker and you don’t want to miss that. Plus we’ll be awarding the Gary Alsobrooks Award to the 2015 recipient.

SUNDAY will be the annual “See Ya” Breakfast for host hotel guests that are headed out early, then off to the Autocross driving event for the day for everyone else. We will class cars accordingly and awards will be given. This event is being held in conjunction with the Alabama Region SCCA.

**RESCHEDULED FROM APRIL 10-12 DUE TO WEATHER**

Hey Saleen-fiends, whose ready to start getting out with your fellow Saleen-brethren this year? Our usual kick-off, as will be again this year, is the Gullo 6th Annual All-Ford Car Show, hosted by the Northside Mustang Car Club on May 9. Located at Gullo Ford in Conroe, TX, NMCC and the great folks at Gullo pull out the stops to make this a great event.

This year will include trophys for 1st and 2nd place in many categories. Gullo is providing free burgers and sodas as has been their generous history. The show will run from 9am to 4pm. Registration cuts off at noon and is $25.00. Gullo Ford is located at 925 I-45 North in Conroe, Tx on the north side of Houston.

This has traditionally been the big event for the Houston area for the year, normally drawing over 20 fine Saleens from all over the state. This year we’re bringing back the multi-day/multi-event concept called the Gullo Ford Weekend! We will have organized dinners, a piney-woods cruise, and possibly other events.

This years event is going to follow the same format of the GFWs in the past with a fun-filled itinerary (May 8-10, 2015):
* Friday Nite: Meet and greet Dinner
* Saturday: Gullo All-Ford Car Show
* Saturday Nite: Drinks and Dinner
* Sunday: Piney Woods Cruise/Fantastic Gullo Museum Tour

Our great host hotel for the 2013 Nationals, the Holiday Inn Express in Conroe, will once again host us for our Gullo Ford Weekend!
* For reservations call 936-788-5200.
* Rooms blocked for May 8 & 9, both Queen doubles & Kings, for $104.95/night.
* Our reservation code is “SALEENCLUB”
* They feature a great complimentary breakfast.
* Hotel is located up the freeway from Gullo Ford so it will be convenient to everything, including excellent dining options.
* Location: 240 Stoneside, Conroe, TX 77303

A great event deserves a great flyer…

Big thanks to Scott for putting together a beautiful flyer for this years event!

Scott’s heading over on Saturday morning from the Austin area and offered to lead a group over:

“I’ll be going to Houston from Round Rock on Saturday morning… if anyone wants to drive with me we can do that. It will be early. I’ll post up details when I get them.”

Anybody else willing to lead groups in, either Friday or Saturday? Let me know and I’ll get the word out.
