Just so I understand, you don't have to be in a Fiero to win that? Not that I care who wins what but, I always thought you had to be driving a Fiero.
Or, is Nick planning on driving?

Oh... I thought he might swing by Kentucky and pick up one of yours!

On the awards... well, the Ruckus is a different kind of show. There are no 'set' rules or format, per se. It is basically whatever the host wants to do... is what we all show up and do. So distance could be miles traveled... or miles traveled in a Fiero... or no award, host choice. Let me give you a recap of previous Ruckii (sp?)

R1 -- Lake Texoma, OK, traditional car show with a very un-traditional car games twist. Never seen anything like it... and has been used at other Ruckus.
R2 -- Jefferson/Caddo Lake, rolling event with poker run format. No games other than the poker run, but we did several 'activities'... like a pleasant day trip.
R3 -- San Angelo, show-n-shine with Rodeo (Fiero car games) done during the show. Cruise, including stop at a Vietnam memorial.
R4 -- Austin, show, cruise, terminating at a lake house for an evening of Rodeo games and boat rides. Only Ruckus to include a charity.
R5 -- Waco, judged show held in a museum parking lot. Cruise and then a double feature at an old fashioned Drive-In!
R6 -- Kerrville, back to the rolling show in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country. Awards and prizes in abundance. Lunch at a Motorcycle Museum.
R7 -- Lufkin, Rodeo games and show in the morning, Cruise and stop at an Indian burial ground. Costume contest on Sat night. Drag racing on Sunday.
R8 -- Baytown, show at the hotel in the morning. Stops at San Jacinto Monument and Battleship Texas. Fiero's on the beach by night.
R9 -- OKLAHOMA!

Sometimes there is a fee... sometimes not. Sometimes actvities cost money... sometimes its free. Sometimes awards, sometimes games, sometimes restuarant, sometimes a cookout. It is awesome... basically it is host discretion... and then the people show up... with or without Fiero's to help make the magic. Greatness.

And I mean it when I say each show has a different personality. Think about it... not only does your host vary... but look at those diverse locations... One is about half desert... and the other is a National Forest! You tailor your show to the scene. Previous hosts that have left their mark are: Cheever3000, JohnF & I, Don & Jane York (2x), Revin, Ken & Heidi, CenTexIndy, cliffw, NTFC, and now OKC. Tell me that aint a Community College poster of diversity.

/\ And, yup--these are the folks your mama warned you about when she spoke of falling in with bad companions.

Woah! Time-out! If I didn't get the distance award at the 25th after flying from Japan AND bringing a Fiero, then there is no way we can let it go that easy. J/K Nick, we would love to have you. I know what it is like to plan for a trip of that magnitude. We will make sure to recognize your efforts.

The only thing that's changed is who is doing the warning, used to be mom, now it's the wife. I still hear them but, haven't started listening.

I'd love to have you down from Husker country, Wheatstock was in '04... so what?... 9 years, amigo?... far too long.

There have been a few requests to start firming up dates, I will call our hosts and see if they've got a closer idea.

Where the skies are not cloudy all day.

BTW That's also Kansas's (someplace North of Texas) state song.

I don't see any reason that I can't make it to this show. My car should be 'complete' by then, because our local car show is in September and it will be ready then. And even though this is going to be in Oklahoma, it will be a long drive for me, as I'm nearly in Kansas. Should be a fun roadtrip.

Actually, I don't know how serious I can be about it at this point. I might not still have my Fiero by then, but if I do it would be a budget decision as time draws nearer. But I posted as soon as I saw the location because that was one of the places I considered for a Ruckus when I was in TX, and got all excited about somebody finally hosting it there. Would look forward to meeting you too! And seeing all my TX & OK pards again (I was born & raised an Okie!).

Ok, I've been to two of them. let's see if I can make it to a third. As long as it doesn't mess up my day of college football I should be in.

I'm back in Houston, all-be-it further South and West. Maybe I can get the long distance award this time...lol, doubt it.

If luck and persaverance prevails maybe I will have two Fieros there. Let's hope and pray. Can I get an amen?!

AMEN.... Would love to finally meet you IRM... BUMP

Any updates?

**** First post editted to reflect date!
Start scheduling your time off folks... we'z gots us a date! Weekend of October 15th.

It will be a state run lodge, similar to what we had in Ruckus 1, Texoma (RIP, developers bulldozed the place and then left the area a wreck). The price will be affordable, and though the structure was built in the 50's... accomodations should be fine for our needs... and if I understood Tom correctly... the scenery will be real nice. They also have a few cabins, (if they are available)... you can sleep like 2-12 souls...if you'd rather go that route.

Please note, the date and lodging is firm.

Thanks for the continued interest.... Having the event in Oklahoma seems to be be generating a buzz from states and friends I have not seen in a long time!
It's hot... I can't wait for October!

Sacrilege!!!
That place was like going back in time, to like the 50's or something.

updated first post to reflect lodging info!

(thanks Tom, OKC Fiero Club)

Tom,
So--lodging is definitely firm?

quote Please note, the date is firm... but as of this moment, the lodging is only probable... I just got excited by what I was hearing and wanted to share.

[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 07-25-2010).]

quote Originally posted by blakeinspace: updated first post to reflect lodging info! (thanks Tom, OKC Fiero Club)

yes, lodging firm and contract signed. Post duly noted and the word 'probable' removed above. thanks!

BTW... it is me, blake, making the post, ...Tom compiled the info and sent it to me. I made it reader friendly and added links and pics.
As it was mostly his legwork and wording, I felt wierd copy/pasting without acknowledging where it came from.

Ok, got it. I gets confused on who's typing when and doing what.

Has this place been 100% cleared of zombies and chupacabras? Should I bring my sks?


What does this mean? Why are there 2 prices for each cottage--ie $48/53?

COUNTRY COTTAGE for 2: sleeps 2 , carpet, bathroom, kitchenette, picnic table with a grill - $ 48/53
COUNTRY COTTAGE for 4 - one bedroom, living area, sofa sleeper, kitchenette, picnic table W/ grill - with a fireplace is $ 75/80: (with out fireplace is $ 70/75.)


And COMPLETELY off topic, but from your link, that website suggests girlfriend gathering in Ardmore

Would that just 'happen' to be going on the same weekend in Oct as RRR?????

[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 07-26-2010).]

Bump from pg 3. Speak up folks--someone somewhere in the darkness, is trying to decide how many shirts to order --what sizes, and how many can/might/will attend.

one xl and 1 lg for Jane & I.

I put in the other Thread but will do here also......I will be making the event..........1 XL shirt or XXL if they are going to make them......

I will be making the event also,

Please put me down for one XL and one Med T-shirts.

Jim

I won`t be in a Fiero, but I will be there.
1 XL shirt please if someone is taking a head count.
Reservation made.
For those of you who don`t know, they do charge you one night deposit when you reserve.
Mike

[This message has been edited by TXGOOD (edited 07-28-2010).]

What do we need to bring? Is this a yearly thing? When will it come back into Texas?
Not sure you would want to see my car right now, chickens pooped all over it ha ha Also, I don't think I could make it anyways.
Can I get a shirt even if I don't go? How much are the shirts if you do have them? Could I have someone like Revin pick it up for me? Would you do that for me Revin?

thank ya,
Jay

1985 Fiero
farm livin' is the place for me.

10speeder---Ruckus is a yearly event, held each fall--in mid Oct. It's location rotates around various cities--dependant on who wants to host. This will be only the 2nd time in 9 years that it has been held outside the State of Texas. All that's required to hold it, is for someone to speak up, and basically say--"Hey--I want to host next year's Ruckus in my location" and it usually works out if no one else has previously spoken for that year. Next year's Ruckus (10th anniv) is spoken for I believe by Blakeinspace.

I WANT RUCKUS 2012 or 2013.

Yes, I am fairly sure you can get a shirt if you do not attend, but please state size and qty so the organizers can get an approx count.

[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 07-28-2010).]

Blake anyone running point on the T shirts?

quote Originally posted by josef644: Blake anyone running point on the T shirts?

I talked to Blake last night re a PM he sent, passed on the qty/sizes etc info from last RRR, and Tom in Okla is getting the shirt order info together.

Ok, I want to order one Xtra Large, and one Medium..

Don, good to hear from you .
Joe

wow these threads sure move down the page fast! took me a while to find it again.
ok thank you Don!
I would like a XL shirt. now how or where to hand the dough over?

That and more info will be forthcoming 10speeder--right now, they just need a head count (approx) and sizes and quantities. Just be patient, and keep watching this thread for Blake or Tom's posts. I am not a co host, have no connection to the event other than being a very excited attendee, and I have no inside info, so just keep tabs on this thread and rest assured everything is being planned and nailed down up in Oklahoma, and info will be posted as things are finalized.

Oklahoma or bust Oct 2010!!

I'm going to try and sched that weekend off so my wife (medium) and I (XL) can attend.

Edit: Most likely will come up Sat AM and stay Sat night. My Friday night is full til after 8 p

Edit again: Coming up Fri evening now. Got reservations for 2 nights

[This message has been edited by 2farnorth (edited 08-09-2010).]

will be updating first post to show people that said they were coming, and add some shirt info...

Don, I hear you loud and clear for R11 or R12... glad to have the volunteer!
Also, in one post on page 1, you mentioned you wanted an XXL & L, and on page 2, it was just an XL & L...
You go on a diet?

j/k ya... lemme know which you prefer. I hadn't called Tom yet with the results of the T-Shirt prodding.
Poe... did you want to get one for the boy(s)?

I am glad to read you guys are booking rooms!... I will be booking mine soon!

Tentative volunteer. That would be #3 for me---obviously if someone who has not hosted yet really wants one of those slots, I will gladly acquiesce.

quote Originally posted by maryjane: Tentative volunteer. That would be #3 for me---obviously if someone who has not hosted yet really wants one of those slots, I will gladly acquiesce.

Well, I'd love to volunteer to host but I just don't think an event called the Kentucky River Ruckus had any ring to it and hosting the Red River Ruckus in KY just doesn't sound right.

Ron

Me and GG (if the darn tranny will STOP leakin...), again, are in, dont know if I'll have another with me... but, 2 shirts, both XL..

[This message has been edited by AutoMark (edited 08-03-2010).]

I will need a medium on the t-shirt. If they aren't pre-shrunk or the sizes run small, I'll need a large.

Can you change my name from a "I" to a lower case "l"? Also I want a 2x shirt and I need one for Stimpy too, whatever size he says. What is the registration fee and is there an OKC caravan? If so, we can use my house as a jumping off point if needed. I am in Moore, just a couple miles off of I-240 and I-35. Ardmore is roughly 90 minutes from my house down I-35.

Bump to keep from getting lost

A Scouting trip is a GO for this weekend, August 28th.

We'll be meeting the Myer's at IHOP in Ardmore... probably around 2-3p. We'll talk about scheduling, resturaunts, cruise, maybe check out the hotel, Ruckus games, shirts, cars, visit, stuff... Feel free to join!

Anyone interested in meeting our Fiero friends up near Turner Falls for a pre-Ruckus organizational meeting are welcome to join me, Tom, and Mark. We are taking Tom's Suburban.

NTFC has a club meeting that day, and I talked to Mark, he said we could leave cars at his house, so they won't stay at Pappas. His place is right off the highway.
