Hi,

Does anyone know when and where the 2012 cougar nationals will be held?

Thanks, Nate B

Nate,

Pretty sure that there is not going to be one this year.

Besides the Newsletter does the CCOA do anything for the hobby anymore?

OK one of the regional clubs on each coast have a show and well call it the local east/west coast not nationals...

Over the past few years, many of us on the East Coast have used All-Ford Carlisle as a substitute for a national. There's no judging, other than the popular choice voting across all the models, but at least we all get together once a year. Last year, the NJ/PA club sponsored a national in addition to Carlisle, but that was the first one since 2006, if I recall correctly.

I haven't heard of any club stepping forward to host a Nationals this summer.

Stu and the NJ gang did a great job last summer.

All of the local clubs must be holding back, and planning an extravaganza for 2017.

The Knott's show is featuring the 45th anniversary of the Cougar this year. Might make a nice informal west coast rendezvous.

The NJ/PA and the Delmarva Club plan to make the Carlisle All-Ford Show (June 1-3) a little extra special this summer.

If gas prices hit $5 I won't be traveling far from home this year. It would be nice to see a midwest thing too.......

Totally agree there. I haven't been to any since the 07 Nats in Denver. John

We have been talking about the International Mercury Owners Ass on the classic cougar network. The show will happen in conjunction with IOLA in Iola Wisconsin. Here is the link.

Well if all the clubs are waiting till 2017, I should have my car ready by then!! Not making a whole lot of progress right now over the winter months. Am getting that paint job paid down though. Figure by june I will have some money to start putting into the car itself!
