********* Ruckus 9 Event Date: October 16-17

How does that show song go?...

Something about some place North of Texas where the "wind comes sweeping through the plains..."

"Canada... where the wind comes sweeping through Saskatchewan..." Nope. Doesn't sound right or mention their bad beer.
"Dakoooota, eh... where the wind comes sweeping through da Black Hills..., yes?" Nope, the doesn't sound right.
"Nebraska... where the wind comes sweeping through the corn." hmm... might be on to something there.
"Kansas... where the wind comes sweeping the loser Chiefs and Royals to the dregs of their respective leagues." I like that.

"OOOOOOOOO-Klahoma... Where the wind comes sweeping through the Plains!"... bingo.

After 8 long years... the CFOGi inspired South Central Regional show, the Red River Ruckus, is returning to its' roots.
We are headed North... North of the Red River... To the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains (the oldest in the US)... to scenic Turner Falls!



The show date has been set by our hosts, the OKC Fiero club. The location is a state run lodge at Lake Murray. It will be in October, following Ruckus tradition.

Our friends North of the Red have supported the Ruckus show EVERY year. They have traveled to points like San Angelo, Kerrville, Lufkin, and Baytown... that is logging a lot of miles. I hope that we are able to return the favors and support and help them pull off a great event. Also exciting would be the chance to maybe pull in some new faces and cars from states like KS, AR, and MO. I know we have the Strickers up there... fieroX, Rare87, ARFiero, Tophertime, SilentAssassin... moving the show up the road has some exciting prospects.

I'll be starting a thread in GFC also for banter and ideas, but it was suggested that we keep one in Events to cover any random passers by!

I am looking forward to October already!

If some folks want to do the cabins, there are a few that were not booked when Tom last spoke to the reservations person.
The cabins are scattered in the area, and not close to each other; which is good and bad. Gives you some sense of privacy if you want to escape 'Fiero people'... but it keeps you seperated from the main gathering area.
--It appeared to me the main Lodge had better group area outside over looking the lake than the cabins, and several are already booked--



or if it suits you... you might can bring your RV, but I did not check into that as my 2.8L is not strong enough to tow one!
tent camping may also be an option, call them for details.
