Missed it last year, and thought I'd really miss it. Sadly, I didn't so I don't know if I'll bother going this year.

tell ya what if it wasnt for tipp city that event would be nothing. its fun and all but there isnt anything going on. gto nats had scca race and a drag race not far from the meet. I kno in years past theres been drag racing but there needs to be more activities or vendors or something. Its becoming a boring and predictable event.

There will be a lot of vendors there and the swap meet is pretty big. But, as stated, the Tipp City Cruise is the main thing for me. I have NEVER entered any of my Birds, past or present, in the Trans Am Nationals show itself. But at Tipp City where they have the streets blocked off, you get let in if you are driving any Firebird, 1967-2002. The first year I went in my 89 Formula 350, I was just going to look. Park somewhere and walk the streets. They (Cops working the sawhorses/gates) waved me right in. Got to park with all the other Birds that I just saw at the show. Good thing my stuff was clean. Real good time.
