I believe it is Oct. 15, and it is the texas f-body association. all they have so far on their site is the date.

Yes, it is October 15th. And yes, membership is required in one of the area f-body clubs (Texas F-Body Association, North Texas Third Gen Association, North Texas Camaro, or Lonestar Camaro). The main thread should be open in the next few weeks on www.texasfba.com.

Thanks Craig! Hoping to make it out this year, but need to see if I can actually get a weekend off (once in a blue moon).

In past years I haven't been impressed with the turnout. I always say I'm gonna join o e of them so I can join in the corral but when it gets time to it always slips by.

I think we had 48 cars last year and the most was 110 a few years ago. Even though it is nice to see 100+ cars in the same location, I think the smaller number makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable event.

Quality over quanity.

IMO, not being impressed enough with the turnout to join, means you are missing the reason it's organized and held. That's ok. It simply means there's a spot for another enthusiast.

I've been every year since 2005. The memebers that attend the show are great. I simply feel bad that I am not able to make it to more events they schedule.

a few years ago, they didnt requite membership, and there was a shitton of cars. requiring membership helps keep the riffraff out, and also supports the clubs. the cost of a membership is less than the cost of one admittance ticket + parking. bring one person with you (or your family or some friends) and you made your money back and then some.
