al ellison Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Fellow TS enthusiasts: Would you be interested in a monthly TS cruise in? We would certainly invite the other, local car clubs. Brusters' Ice Cream at the intersection of Valleydale Road & Caldwell Mill Road has agreed to host. If you are interested please reply and indicate your preference of date (ex. 2nd Friday, 4th Saturday, etc.). Safe driving & God bless, Al Ellison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfarmdog Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Al This is a great idea and something that we should look to do in different locations to help drive activity. I will be willing to set one up here in Memphis as well. If we get enough participation then perhaps we can schedule a meet somewhere in the middle?

AUSTANG Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I would try and make if setup, though I don't get up to bham to much. Perhaps in addition to the bham meet maybe a quarterly one in Montgomery for a more central meeting place for other areas in AL? I know 3 or 4 guys in the Auburn area that would probably up for that.

Sure, I also think Montgomery would be a good city as well to have one. I will start thinking of something for later this summer or early fall. I will be in bham next weekend for nieces bday. Doubt I will be in the Shelby but if anything is going on let me know, if time permits will try and attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudguy4 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I would definitely be interested in a monthly meet-up in the Birmingham area. I'd prefer Saturday evening if possible. Thanks for the idea! Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfarmdog Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 If anyone else is interested in hosting a local get together then post up and lets develop a schedule. We may not be able to get together easily as a large group but we can start with smaller local get togethers and go from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badshelby Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Birmingham or Montgomery, if i'm off i'll be there. The drag strip at Montgomery is nice if we could do something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al ellison Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thank you for the replies. Based upon other Birmingham area cruise ins, if we want Saturdays, I suggest we consider the 2nd or 4th Saturday of each month; from 6 to 9 OR 7 to 10 pm. The Brusters Ice Cream on Valledale & Caldwell Mill road is about 3 miles from either Hwy 280 or I-65, so this is a fairly convenient and easy to find destination. In the adjacent parking lot, there is a Winn Dixie center with restaurants. The owners have agreed to host and offer us specials. Please reply with your choice of nights & time. If you are members of other clubs, please guage their interest. To make this one a little unique, in addition to Brusters providing us with Ice Cream specials, what do you think about offering a burn-out contest each month? Montgomery - drag strip - great idea; please get the information together and share the details. Memphis - make it coordinate with good blues & BBQ. Maybe even a weekend when the Grizzlies are in town. Safe driving & God bless, Al Ellison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUSTANG Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Montgomery - drag strip - great idea; please get the information together and share the details.

Sudguy4 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice! Looking forward to this. Count me in for Saturday nights in Bham at Caldwell Mill Road... 7-10. I get off work at 6:00, and it will take an hour to get there, so that would be perfect for me once a month! Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUSTANG Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is anything going on in Bham this weekend? I will be in the Pelham area. Also thought of another idea for a meet. There is a muscle car museum in Alexander city that is very nice, mainly Mopars, but he does have several classic rare stangs as well and he swaps out what is on display every few months. I went back in the Winter and highly enjoyed it. If anyone is interested I don't mind setting it up since I have been before. http://www.wellbornmusclecarmuseum.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke with the boss and we don't have any plans with the in-laws Sat evening so I will be there. The museum is very cool, what impressed me the most about the place was that someone will go through it with you and tell you the history of each car. We lucked up when I went and we got the owner of the place as our guide. Super nice guy and he knows his stuff well, he has a lot of passion for what he does.

al ellison Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thank you for the input. I have also spoken with two local clubs and believe the 4th Saturday is our best bet. Due to the heat, turn out for the last few cruise ins has not been good. Perhaps we should start this in September (I know football season will be in full swing). Please share your thoughts on this.
