Friday night July 9 Cruise will go off as scheduled! Current forecast is good for Friday night. YOU MUST be at the Saratoga Auto Museum no later than 5pm. We leave at 5:15 pm sharp. Obviously we hope for no rain. IN EVENT OF RAIN, if you have a tow vehicle, or if you have a support vehicle, or if you are relatively local and want to bring your Daily Driver, that will not be a problem. You can drive your Firebird or any of those. If you bring a non-Firebird, we just ask you to fall in line at the end of the line behind the Firebirds and be part of the All Firebird (plus Support Vehicle) Cruise to the Saratoga PBA. FNONA will have a 50-50 Raffle during the cruise so some lucky cruiser will leave with more money than they brought. Crazy Herbs Texas Barbecue will be there with their Full Menu. See it here:

-- ALL FIREBIRD CRUISE IS NOW FREE WITH NO RESERVATION REQUIRED!
We made a lot of extra room for Firebirds at our Friday night All Firebird Cruise, so if you want to do the All Firebird Cruise on Friday night July 9, 2010, please be at the Saratoga Auto Museum no later than 5pm. You do not need a reservation although we encourage you to do so and you still have time. JUST LIKE OUR ALL FIREBIRD LAWN SHOW, YOU CAN JUST SHOW UP AND BE PART OF THE CRUISE to a Private Grove. The Cruise is free to all FNONA club members and All Firebird Lawn Show participants. YOU MUST be at the Saratoga Auto Museum no later than 5pm. We leave at 5:15 pm sharp with SSPD escort with Lights and Sirens blasting. We do not stop for stop signs or red-lights. It is like Only Firebirds have the Right Of Way and All Others pull over and get out of the way. Last year one of the SSPD Cruisers blasted over a Double Yellow Solid Line at 80mph and scattered oncoming traffic to get to the front of the Firebird procession and stop all traffic at an approaching intersection! Opposite coming traffic was swerving off the road to get out of the way! You do not want to miss this.
The Cruise will run Rain or Shine. In the event there is rain, you are welcomed to drive in your ‘driver’ or support vehicle or tow vehicle instead of your Firebird if you prefer. The Grove has a covered Pavilion outdoors and a large indoor Banquet facility so we are good to go no matter what. Crazy Herb will be there and we plan to have a 50-50 Raffle for just Cruisers Only! Someone will leave the Cruise with half of the 50-50 pot! There will be a Firebird Nation of North America annual club meeting at the PBA and all FNONA members and non-members are welcomed to attend the meeting and learn about us. We will also accept half year memberships at that time.
Here is the latest on the Friday July 9, 2010 All Firebird Cruise:
1. The Cruise with SSPD Escort will go to a Private Grove at the Saratoga Springs PBA in Saratoga.

The All Firebird Lawn Show grounds are on NYS property which is a ‘Carry-In Carry-Out’ NYS Park. Please police the area for any trash before you leave. If you bring anything in, we ask that you take it with you (except $$$ of course) when you leave. There are no public trash receptacles. Please do not litter.
As in 2009, there will be a $2.50 admission to the Saratoga Auto Museum for all show participants. This $2.50 admission per person will allow unlimited visits to the Museum and their restrooms on show day. You must get your hand stamped at the Firebird show registration trailer when you register and before visiting the Museum. As in previous years, the restrooms at the Park Administration building will be open and free of charge. On the same day as the Firebird show is a Corvette Show across the street. Admission to the Corvette Show across the street is included when you show your hand stamp at the Museum and purchase a $2.50 admission.
A Word to the Wise: This event is held inside the Saratoga SPA State Park which is a NO ALCHOHOL ALLOWED PARK and continuously patrolled by NYS Park Police, a division of the NYS Troopers. Radar & Laser are used on a daily basis. The Park speed limit is 25 miles per hour everywhere in the park. Please drive safely, be careful, and respect all park property.

REMINDER: Pre-registration IS NOT REQUIRED. You can just show up, register at the registration trailer, and join the fun & Firebirds. Have fun, win prizes, and see the Birds.
As we grow, our insurance requires a few more ground rules set in place:
All Vehicle owners must register at the show trailer and sign a release form. A minimum $10 donation to Special Olympics is required.
Vehicle owners please be advised that Special Olympics will not be responsible for damage to your vehicle.
Adequate space between each vehicle will be provided to reduce the chance of damage to vehicles. If any driver requests additional space, we will try to accommodate you.
Vehicle owners may consider roping off their vehicle to protect it from damages caused by spectators.
Vehicle owners should have someone at their vehicle at all times.
Tom.
