RogerS Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 To all the forum members and friends planning to attend the Tasca Day Event on August 25, 2007: There had been mention of a prior evening get together in Providence. After throwing it around a while, Adam and I have teamed up to offer a BBQ right after the Tasca Day event at my home just minutes from Tasca. Most members may be traveling the evening prior or early the morning of the event (don't forget to get there early). After a long day we thought what better way to get to know one another than have a relaxing late afternoon BBQ and just talk Shelby (Adam said we can just talk about his Shelby LOL)! I will be co-hosting the event at my home which is about a 10 min. drive (in a normal vehicle). And I think there will be enough off street protected parking. I have calculated my driveway will hold up to 21 Shelby's. Then we have the front and side lawn, maybe 30 total. But that's not all; food, music and refreshing beverages and relaxation prior to your journey home, to your hotels or other late night activities. If you are interested in attending just reply to the thread so Adam and I can get a rough headcount. Adam will update a running tally on the first post to the thread. We will keep you updated weekly and provide more specifics. Imagine the picture of 30 Shelby's in one driveway!! Should be a good time. Naturally, I don't need to mention to please be respectful of my lawn and neighbors. More to follow... Roger Sorel Adam O'Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to get an idea of how to make my travel plans, and if I can squeeze in a stop by It is scheduled to be over by 4PM. Most cars begin leaving around 3-3:30 last year it was clearing out at 2:30 but Mr. Shelby was not there. I am planning on leaving about 3 to head to back to the house to get things going.

Looks like we are approaching 30 or so and I recalculated that we could fit about 30 Shelby's on the property. Plus one empty garage space UPDATE: So far 15 Shelby's attending...........Still room for more: Head count up to 31 +/- MWS GT500s MattChicago Rossgt Aodwyer Webba Cobrawertz Shelby0264 Gthero ?

RogerS Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Details and update: I have attached a link from MapQuest from Tasca Ford to my home. You will see it is less than 7 miles away. I would recommend that you do not take exit 10B and take exit 10 A RT 117 E follow to the second stop light and turn right onto Diamond Hill Road. Follow to the end of the road then take a left onto Centerville Rd. and pick up the directions from there. It is a much smoother and better maintained road. The event at Tasca begins at 10AM but as stated, you better get there early because it does fill up fast! And remember to bring two can goods for admission. The event ends at 4PM but people begin leaving at 3PM. By 4PM there are not many people left. But Mr. Shelby has not attended any of the prior 9 events held. The cook out will be from 4 PM to whenever the last guests leave. I will be leaving Tasca around 2:30 PM to help my already frantic wife! :o We will be providing the food and non-alcaholic beverages. I am sure you will be packing chairs, if not please bring some. That should be the only issue we may have. Let's hope we have a beautiful New England Weather day. Oh, and please keep you eye on this thread for any updates and for confirmation of attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
