Saleen Club of America

2007 Cruise North East

By: Dave Gregoire,  Director New England Region

A great time was had by all at our 1st cruise event of 2007 for the SCOA NE Region to the huge 11th Annual New England Summer Nationals held in beautiful Worcester,MA. We drove up in 89 #142 and were accompanied by  95 S-351 #05 which was a former Saleen executive car driven by Tony Johnson with only 12k miles on the clock. Pretty strange that this was such a low option Saleen internal car? This years event ran for 5 wonderful days and featured over 5000+ cars and nearly 200,000 spectators attending this annual event billed as the largest such gathering on the east coast each year. We all had a great time roaming the grassy show grounds at Green Hill Park and the downtown locations that featured drag racing, burnout pit, flamethrower hot rods and stunt riders. It was great day to just sit back and enjoy all the unreal megadollar hotrods, musclecars and classics as they rolled by through the lovely park grounds. You name the brand and it was probably in attendance at the weeks festivities. Our Saleens managed to grab the attention of many show goers who mentioned that they had never seen a Saleen Mustang in person before! As you can imagine we spent the better part of the day explaining our favorite cars! 

If you have never been lucky enough to attend this show make plans now to put it on your must do list for the future. Nice to see many old friends and we highly looking anticipating the upcoming 1st Annual SCOA NE Regionals July 14-15th in scenic Connecticut.

Hope to see everyone at the event!
