It is that time for me to bring up a few important things to know about the FC Roundup, because as usual we will have some new people that will be coming, I wish to prevent any confusion and misunderstanding.
Lately there has been some postings about other Jeep events held in other parts of the country. At these events a few FCs are gathering. At Jeep events, this is really great. I think it is wonderful that more attention is given to the FCs. For new people, sometimes all the pictures in the world can not explain what a difference it makes to be able to be looking at a real FC mechanical assembly and how it looks like on a running FC. So, more events are needed.
I want anyone that does not yet understand, the Jeep Forward Control event in Phoenix is not just another Jeep event. Instead this event and the NW FC Gathering are the only events that are limited for displaying only FC-Vehicles and FJ Van vehicles. The word only means is restricted it is not for any or all other model Jeeps. Non FC vehicles will not be allowed to be parked on my property. No exceptions. There is adequate street parking for all others.
Please read everything carefully:
HOTELS: The nearest hotel is the Camelback Sahara, 7th Ave and Camelback. They only have 10 rooms left. They are changing the name to Hotel 502 in March and both names will be on the buildings to avoid confusion. So there is some minor remodeling being done that the owner has told me will be done by the time of the event. It is preferred only because it is walking distance close to the light rail and a few blocks to the event. Additionally, it has been the most preferred hotel, because it is the only hotel near here that has a large rear parking lot that allows for big trucks and large vehicle trailers and they do have security.
