Bump to the top, anybody joining us for the drive down? Me Taylor and John are in so far, john is driving my 2013 down also. If we don't have any others who are driving down, we will be simply leaving super early from my house in cambridge and playing gumball rally haha

I really hope I can get my springs on in time lol. My work schedule until we leave is going to be hectic

I was thinking Jamie, you should setup a thread for H20 so people have time to get ready for that from now.

The photo of GFXjamie's Focus ST prompted me to scan a photo of Vivid Racing's ST. Some days there is complete frustration in trying to share. The May 22 issue of fastford (a UK Magazine) features a version of the 2013 Focus ST that is to drool over (old guys can't lust anymore, just drool.) I just wish I could share more than just a scanned picture.

Carbon fibre (painted) flares (wide body) over the wheels; carbon fibre grill. Even the interior features Recaro seats.

H2o isn't a focus show, not sure how many people here would be of interest being as it is a vw/euro show.
The vivid racing car is awesome but I'm not a fan of how they left the exposed bolt locations on the car. I mean if it was all out race car with sponsor decals and battle scars sure, but that was a sema car. Otherwise I like everything but front grill and triple tip exhaust

I'll be going guys finally

Amazing trip!!!
First day back and still need some sleep.
We drove down in a pack and met up with McNal35. It's a beautiful drive down going through the hills, instead of the interstate. Sorry no pictures from me as I had one hand on the wheel and the other on the 6speed lol.
Tones of other Foci showed up from all over the states and we met some usual's and some new people. One member even has a junkyard and snatches up most of the Foci in the insurance auctions. He has 29 SVT's and drove a dark grey ZX3-wagon... Looked pretty cool but he now see what we do with the cars and he is now setting it up on a different path to compete.
We had a couple B-days happening too. Our own 07focus_st and Wobb. Who are both close friends to a bunch of us.
The Motel 6 was on the s**t cheap side. But I understand some people can't afford much but still wish to attend so they try to cater to everyone. Even though a mirror fell of the wall in my room at 5am and then I was told there was no one to send it sweep the floor so I could walk around and there were only 6-7 fridges per 120 rooms... I seriously hope they spend a little more on the HOTEL (not MOTEL) next time...
All in all it was fun and I can't wait for next year.

Next year I wanna go down. Any pics? This was the Ford Nationals event right?
RE: Focus Rising 14 and Fiesta Rising 14 - June 6-8 2014 - mcnal35 - 06-11-2014
It was a great weekend! The motel I agree could have been better but all in all was pretty fun
RE: Focus Rising 14 and Fiesta Rising 14 - June 6-8 2014 - Scorcher000 - 06-12-2014
Hey Drew. Yes this is the Ford Nationals. And as for pictures you may have to find them on Focaljet or Facebook. I didn't take any. It is something to experience so make sure you make it down next time!
