If you wanted to take a ride up this way we have a cruise night every Monday and there is one in Meredith (I think wen or thu). We also have a 3 day Hot Rod/ Muscle Car show and events at the beginning of summer. And in Concord I think Arnies has cruise night on Tuesdays. I know ours usually starts around the end of May, mostly older muscle cars, antiques, and a bunnch of hot rods. Not many LS1 F-bodies around here, the Corvette club has a bunch of C5s but alot of them think that their **** doesn't stink. They are kind of the joke of cruise night.

I imagine that Rochester must have some kind of cruise night.

You can come take a ride over to Milford some Thurs. night; former Ames shopping plaza on 101A.

Are any of you planning to go to Camaro Heaven day at NED on 6/4?

Where are the commons at? I live in Nashua, used to go to the car show at burger king on fridays all the time, but it's not there anymore. Are you talking across from the post office and dunkin donuts in that big parking lot with the bowling alley?

I was wondering what the hell happened to everyone...

There are some cruise in shows around the somersworth Nh area which isn't far from Farmington at a place called Mels drive in on Thursday nights and possibly friday nights. Theres also a couple more in the same general area but I cant remember where exactly, i'll ask my buddy about them. I will also be at the camaro firebird day as well as the super chevy weekend. My car is pretty hard to miss it's the one in my sig just look for me.

Where is the street warriorz being held is it at NED? from looking at your sig i'm sure you will do some damage. I haven't run my car yet i'm expecting it will run low 12's, but hoping for high 11's. I think that will only happen if all the planets are aligned and the gods are on my side, she's a little on the heavy side being a vert, but it's nice to ride with the top down.

Yeah, it's NED, check their site for more info about it. Hopefully we can get a few LS1s to show up. I've made a few changes to the car and those numbers in my sig should be history (I hope).

Hey Vin, the jets came today. Thanks for getting them out quick. Make sure to bring your wallet the 28th, we'll do some hustling.

Hmm...I should have the F14 in and tuned by then. Only problem is I'm still running the stock 10 bolt and 3.42 gears. I'd be looking to make a few quick bucks though.

Shouldn't be too hard to make some money with the egos some of the import kids have. Apparently their is a GM/Ford shootout too. Not sure if it's organized or what but it should be fun. I wonder if I'd pass tech with open headers? There don't seem to be any clear rules other than if you can drive it on the street you can race it.
