If you did attend......post up some pictures. Thanks to all those who have supported this event in past.

Sweet !!! Cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool! I plan on going this year! One of my friends has gone every year I think and highly recommends this show. :thumb:

It's fun but I wish we could get more people to participate.

I'd like to have a few more too....but remember we had about 35-40 cars at the Speedway last year.........which means you had as much track time as you wanted.

The only losers are the ones that didn't make it out and missed all the fun. Mustang Week pays the same as we do and they sit in line a lot.......while we're turning laps.

Here's the link to the Facebook event page:

Add me (Matthew Mason) so I can send you an invite and you guys can invite anybody you may think would be interested in coming. I think this can help attendance out this year as well.

Terry I have tons of pics from the last two years, I try get them posted tonight. I am so ready for this years too.

Yep thats true too. I was surprised more of the cars didnt run at the track.

Hopefully my 02 Camaro SS with a ERL Performance LS2 434ci dry sleeve motor show up.:secret2::devil::D

Street car?

Hope it comes in....I'd like to see that thing unleached.

It's a daily driver plus some tnt for fun.

It's good that your letting everyone know in plenty of time. You should keep this thread on top all the time.

We have a 6- people already confirmed from our car club. There should be more as we get closer to the spring.

I wanted to make this with my 30th anniversary so bad, I guess the 5th gen will get to go instead :-) Can't wait!

Give it a bump, Terry any idea when the website will be up, also we need someone to create a Facebook page also to help out promoting.

I sent Jon aka Infinite Bird an email yesterday about the site. We had to change servers.
We have Facbook page already set up.

I'll post up the hotel info after the game.

Site is back up: www.fbodybeachbash.com

Thanks Jon!!!!

I also added the host hotel info up top.

The hotel is located on Bus 17 about 1/2 mile south of Ocean Lakes camp ground. Crabby Mike's seafood is about another 1/2 mile south of the hotel. Krispy Kreme is 3 miles south of hotel..lol
Guys ...this hotel has a large space for trailer parking. It would be nice to stay right on the beach but I could not get a hotel to block us rooms in the middle of vacation season. Besides most hotels on the beach don't have adequate parking.

Post this over on the "anybody from SC thread.". A lot of local guys have checked in there.

Can't wait! Hoping to bring both of my Trans Ams up this year!

If anyone has pictures or videos from last year......post them up.

Here is some pics from 2010. I need to re-size the ones from last year.

More Pics

Hey Terry I heard Myrtle Beach Speedway just got new owners. Are will still on at the track or has that changed any?

I'll check with Jon to see how many are registered. Great job recruiting.
I'll be at the Auto Fair in Charlotte next weekend trying to get more participation.

Sounds good see you there our club is showing at Auto Fair.

I can put up the registration page this week, I was waiting until the event list was finalized. Is the Darlington event still on?

Yep..Darlington is set up....5 pm to 9 pm. $15 to run your car.
I'm seeing some pretty good interest. We're hoping for our biggest turn out since we took over this event in 2010.

OK guys...we're about 2 1/2 months away. Please spread the word and talk up the event as much as possible on your local forums.

I handed out a lot flyers at the AutoFAIR in Charlotte and the response was good. We'll hit up the G16 group too...as we should get some good support from this event.

Thanks to all those that are helping to spread the word.

No excuses......let's build this event up. If the Mustang guys can get 2500-3000 cars for Mustang week......surely we can get 150-200 Camaro's, Firebirds, G8's, GTO's, Vettes etc. Come on guys......we can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to try to attend.

The registration page is up for the event.

http://www.fbodybeachbash.com/register.php

ERL Performance sent me the wrong motor and it look like that I want be down this year.I requested a dry sleeve LS2 434ci motor but they sent me a 427ci instead.You guys and gals have fun.

Can't wait for this year. Hope it's a good turnout.

I never even knew about this.. Definetly going to try to make it.

Sounds like a good reason to take the SS to Myrtle Beach again.
Just a bit more HP this time than a long time ago

Just booked my hotel. Not going to have an fbody this year but I still wouldn't miss it.

Please go to the web site and "register" if you plan on going. You don't have to commit any $$$$$.....we just want to get some numbers for planning purposes. Thanks!!!!

Are we getting any kind of special rate or anything? I checked the Comfort Inn Surfside website and it looks like the rooms are in the $119-$129 regularly.

Registered!

Not sure, but I know it's hard to get any kind of substantial discount in July because the demand is so high.

I got a call today from Darlington Dragway......everything is a "go" for Thurs July 12. Don't forget to bring your helmet.

He said Mustang Week is the week after us and then he has the MOPAR crowd the last week of July.

This is going to be our "biggest" turnout since we started organizing this event. Even gas prices are cooperating.....go figure.

One reminder

Make sure you wear long pants and bring your helmet. Both Darlington and MB Speedway are under new management and will be a little stricter this year!!!!!!!!

Terry do we have a backup plan for rain, like secondary hangout place.

The backup plan is RAIN OR SHINE...the show must go on!!!
We can always go inside the mall if it rains. Pray for good weather. The forecast shows we're going to get a break from the hot weather......highs in the 80's.

It's just Test and Tune but we can get something going if we get enough interest. I'm hoping for about 40 cars....we'll see.

Is anyone from the Myrtle Beach (since I am here on vacation) area following this post? If so, I'd like to meet up and travel together.

-jeff

If the weather starts looking better, me and and some friends are planning on rolling down to check it out.


I usually go to Mustang Week and have always wanted to check out F-Body Weekend, so this year could be my first time :)

Only showing a 30% chance of scattered showers right now.

Rain on saturday has just been dropped to 20% chance. Looking better for the car show.

According to mapquest, Darlington is 2 hours from North Myrtle Beach. I figure I'm going to leave and head that way around 3:30 depending on how long the weather holds out inland.

jeff

I'm heading out to Darlington at 12:30.....see you guys at the TRACK!!!!!!

Getting ready to leave MB, now. See you guys there! I'll be driving the Yellow C6Z06 with Black wheels.

jeff

Just called darlington and they said they werent gonna open tonight.

Attention! !! Darlington has been canceled ...

Poop...


So, what's everyone doing instead? lol

I got all the way up into downtown Florence and the streets were flooded with over 3ft. of water. Almost turned the C6Z into a submarine. Was able to get up into a high parking lot of a gas station and wait it out for 3 hours.

While waiting I called the Drag Strip and got the recording saying the event was canceled. Made the trek back to Myrtle.


jeff

I was in pouring rain from about Ashville, NC until about an hour from Myrtle, it sucked. I was hydroplaning for a good 2 hours. Anybody know somewhere good in Myrtle Beach I can take my car to clean and detail it now?

I know there is a car wash in south myrtle on business 17 behind a gas station at an intersection (cant remember the street number) and there is one in North myrtle 1-2 miles past Dodges Chicken on the right coming from Myrtle. Thats where I took the vette last night as soon as I got back into town. I feel you about the hydroplaning. The NT05r's were not friendly in the rutted puddled roads.:eek2:

What he said^^. Got the ws6 here today and only ran into a sprinkle here and there. Hoping i see some more lt1s so i know im not alone:)

Just got back home from the car show.


It was a nice little event; got to see some ZR-1's and some nice 1st Gens.

LoL, also got piped a couple of times while we were standing by our cars talking to friends.

I'm not sure when everyone is heading out, but I'll be hitting up North Myrtle Beach Dragstrip in the afternoon. It's an 1/8 mile track not far off the beach. If anyone is interested let me know.

I just wanted thank everyone that braved the weather and made it to the event. Didn't rain a drop Friday or Saturday. We had 80+ cars at the show.....which was our best turnout since our group started running this show in 2009.

I hope everyone had a great time. Let me know if you have any feedback so we can try to make improvements. Just to let everyone know we had a food vendor set up but he lost his lease with the mall 3 days before our show. Other than that things went pretty much as planned.

Wish i coulda made it to some events this year but i didnt have the money too. But it was nice to see some fbodies. Im still down here and the mustangs are already infesting the area.

Had a good time at the beach for the couple days i was down there now this comment is not coming out of bitterness because my car did win a trophy at the car show.

Some feedback in my opinion is that the judging at the car show could have been done better there was some favoritism shown in this show (again this is in my opinion). In my opinion the car that one best of show (still a nice car) but i work at the chevy dealership and know you can purchase this car the one that should have won had at least $20,000 in custom work done to from engine paint body and rims. The color scheme was carried out through out the entire car... And im sure im not the only person that thought this so you can take this comment however you feel but i am just expressing my opinion and giving you some feedback

Haha, what you talking about, we started infesting the place Saturday ;)

I can absolutely assure you that there was no favoritism involved in the the two cars that you mentioned. I didn't even meet the guy until we called his name and he came foward to pick up the trophy. I didn't know the guy with the yellow car either.

We may have made an error...we're human and we could have made a mistake. Four different people judged the cars and we used the total score to determine the winner. We didn't have classes so it makes it very difficult to compare a heavily modied car to a mostly stock car. Our basic criteria was cleanliness and free of defects. We don't add points for mods.....nor do we deduct points when the mods are overdone....then you get into opinions.

Both cars were worthy of Best of Show....but we only had one Best of Show trophy. They still got a kick ass trophy that is better than 99% of the other awards at other shows. Personally I thought the white 67 Camaro and the ZR1 were equally worthy of the Best of Show.......but I only got one vote.
I hate judging new cars......it's almost impossible to separate one from another.

Thanks for the input.

I had a good time but my only complaint was that we only had an autocross event and we all only got one run around the speedway. I was really looking forward to the burnout competition and the drag racing on the front stretch. What happened to those events?


On another note, I'm still down here and just got back from cruising the strip. It's been soooo much fun messing with the Mustangs and getting looks from almost every one I pass. :devil:

Haha true story.

The speedway messed up their scheduling.......they now have NASCAR Driving Experience and they scheduled runs on the same day as our event in error. Our track time was limited to an hour and half.....bummer.:(

I didn't mind the limited laps; I just wish they didn't put those tires so close together. One more space apart could have still kept us to safe speeds without having to tighten down on the brakes at every corner.

A friend of mine hit one of the tires and put a black strip all the way down the side of his white Camaro. He said when he looked in the mirror it was about about 5 ft off the track.

Gotcha, I guess I didn't realize that hindered the burnout competition and drag racing as well, I guess that makes sense.

Wanted to go, planned to go, was ready to go, then Saturday morning when I went in for work, I found out I was on a different route than my usual and I've only run it twice. So instead of getting off at 1 like I should have, I didn't get done till 3:30-4. Then getting cleaned up and the little over an hour drive, I would have missed it all anyway.

I had a blast this time at the beach! Cant wait til next year!!!

I had a great time again this year but hydroplaning on 220 on the way home and wrecking my car kinda made for a bad ending to the week. :mad:

Matt....hope you didn't get hurt. How bad is the car?

I had a tire on my trailer blow out on the way home. Luckily no damage to anything other than the tire.

Matt....hope you didn't get hurt. How bad is the car?

I had a tire on my trailer blow out on the way home. Luckily no damage to anything other than the tire.

I didn't get hurt at all luckily. The car isn't too bad, the catch cables missed the quarter panel by millimeters. It got the rear bumper cover, spoiler, and sail panel body wise. I've already got another spoiler and I'm going to pick a bumper cover up tomorrow. I also found another sail panel for $75 that I'm gonna get Friday. It also trashed the passenger front wheel and muffler. I was planning on getting it painted this winter anyway so I guess this is just forcing my hand a little lol.

Here's the thread I started with pics of the damage and where I'm going to document the repairs and improvements as I complete them.

These are all part of the growing pains of doing an event; it happens. Every large car event has them. The best thing to do is make suggestions or volunteer to help if you want to change things. I don't really have a dog in this event; I brought my vette and went to every schedule event and still had a good time.

The guy who started Mustang Week is a friend of mine and I've heard over the years about the headaches and hurdles involved in turning that event into what it is today. It just takes time...................... Learn from what went wrong and move forward.

Personally, I think everything is on the right path.

Darlington- rained out but nobody can forsee that.

MB Speedway- "if" they would have done all the events that I heard were supposed to happen, could have been fantastic (autocross, drive around the track, rolling burnout contest, drag race on front stretch, best sounding exhaust competition). Get on Youtube and search for Mustang week 2012 myrtle beach speedway; they had vaughn Gitten Jr drifting the track and a bunch of other stuff.

Cruise-In at Burkeys- This was good, just a good chance to eat and chat with gear heads

Cruise the strip after Burkeys- I hadn't done that in YEARS and it was fun watching everyone point and talk about your cars as you rode by

Car Show- Hey, its a car show. I'm not a huge carshow guy anymore but it was another great opportunity to see some beautiful cars, make new friends and chat with others that you had not seen since last years event.

Dinner that night- now this is something that is "not" scheduled but I did with a group of friends last year and this year. We met at Key West Grill at Broadway at the Beach, had dinner on the water and then rode the Jet Boat around the little lake they have there. (The damn thing had an LS3 engine in it and we were doing 360's and spraying water everywhere!) They have zip-lines across the lake, night clubs, gift shops, attractions, an aquarium etc.... something for everyone.

Farewell Breakfast Sunday- I'm not sure this happened but it could have been another great time.


My hats off to the guys that planned this event, I know it's not easy but you made it happen. If you need help, now is the time to start asking for it. I know a Marine that has a thousand connections and even within Chevrolet itself. All you have to do is give this woman a hill to conquer, point and say charge and you can consider it DONE!!! She was at the event last year with the Marine Corp Tribute Trans Am and she was at the event this year with the Red ZL1 and white ZR1. I'm telling you, she is an asset and you are missing-out, without utilizing her skillset!

Hey guys, I enjoyed going out to this event last year, even though sadly I had already sold my Formula. Anyone know the dates or any info on the event for this year?

The fbody beach bash web site is down and out.Something is telling me it's a wrap for this event. The only 2 biggest event for the LSX crowd are Camaros For Heroes and G-17 F-Body Garthering.

my club and i have been going to this *different event* for nearly 10 years.

this year they combined it with the music festival

basically it is at Virginia beach, on the beach literally cars pulled onto the coastal boardwalk. always a good time!

they are always slow to get registration up, this is an all cars show, with brand divisions

Not sure what happened to the web site, I'll check it. If Terry and the gang are still going to put on the event this year I'll definitely get it back up. I haven't heard any info yet.

Update: heard from Kyle and AFAIK the event is definitely still ON for this year.

We should be updating the site soon.

Any updates on whats going on with the Beach Bash? I'm just wondering so I can get my vacation time at work lined up and start looking for a hotel.

see other thread, I was mistaken. looks like it won't be happening this year :(

The Mustang Week Boyz are going to have a field day with this.

Yeah...it's pretty sad......the F-Body crowd doesn't have the passion that the Mustang crowd has. I hate saying that but that's what I've experienced.
I have 4 f-bodies .....if it wasn't for the Super Chevy events I wouldn't have any place have some track fun other than our local drag strip.

I go to the drag strip almost every week but it's fun to do something different.

Yea its a sad thing, and I was actually gonna be able to make it this year unlike last year. I was moving into my new place when it was happening. But it is hard to get Nything goin with people around this are for some reason, the meet for the scfba thT you came to was Tue first and only meet we had, never could get anyone interested in just doing simple cruises and meets. And now the whole site is almost a ghost town. But do you think you'll ever try it again terry or is it done for good?

Maybe next year,the power to be can schedule FBody Beach Bash during Mustang Week.

keep this in mind guys if you are close may 16-19

Really sucks, I had quite a few guys up here in VA that haven't been able to make it the past few years that were looking forward to it.

Bring them all down to Atlanta over Memorial Day weekend. Can register to park together.
