It's that time of year again.... Preparing for the 2016 Ford Nationals!

Hotels book quickly.

$55 registration fee
We usually register with the Liberty SHO club (though several 'clubs' show up). We've had SHO representation from Canada to Florida to Texas to Illinois in years past. The number of pre-registrations help determine our place on the field and if we get a tent or not. We had one year when folks didn't register until April/May and we were bunched up in a side area of the field with a small tent. So, if you can, register within the next month or two. It's a fun time for all...

Some photos of years past (see prior year threads for more):

last time i was there also, life got in the way the last couple of years, and both me and the wife need to start do stuff again, got the new 2013 so were going to make all ford and would like to go the nationals this year, been hearing rumblings about 40 years for the taurus ????

I will def be there, already have work scheduled off. Other than Convention, this has been the 2nd biggest gathering of SHO's. Then only bad thing is that the "sea of Mustangs" is growing. Hope everyone can make it, will be the first one with my new white '13. Kraus will be in the Caribbean, but hoping Rich and Mary show up.

I am already registered. I highly recommend signing up for the parade it would be good to get a good Taurus showing. As of now two known Taurus in the parade.

Just bought my 2015 Taurus SHO. Considering making this trip

 

[BamSHO]

It's a blast, never had a bad time there, even when it rains.

 

[2011TAURUSSEL]

What he said.........

 

[2011TAURUSSEL]

Weekly Bump!!!

 

[BamSHO]

I posted this in Gen4 area too, but just in case. The dyno shop in going to Friday is close to the Carlisle Fairgrounds. Going to ask what a group rate would be and how much of a commitment they would be from us. Just and idea.

 

[F.X.5]

I plan on being there. Still no sho yet. I'll probably enter my 98 EB Explorer though.

 

[BamSHO]

Just heads up for anyone coming to FORD Nationals in June and running route 11/15 south. There is a detour in place where 11/15 connects with 22/322. The detour is in place cause PennDot is working on the mountain just north of where 11/15 connects with I-81. So plan ahead.

 

[2011TAURUSSEL]

Thanks for the heads up.......OH yeah....>>WEEKLY BUMP
