Other Mentionables:
- The parking lot has a maximum capacity of around 600 cars. Once the parking lot is full, THE GATES WILL BE CLOSED. No ifs, ands, or buts. Plan accordingly and it should not be a problem.

If we are in the show but decide to leave early either because we want to or an emergancy, would that be an issue?

 

i went to this show last year, and you dont have to hang around all day... people were leaving as they pleased....

 

I went to this last year. I counted I think 3 F-bodies including mine and about 10,000 Subarus. Arguably not as balanced as they make it sound

 

"so your saying there's a chance?"
hmm 10,000 subarus you say, billy needs him some more parts

 

hahaha ****** classic dumb and dumber

 

rofl...

 

yea, there were alot of gay dumdumdumdumdum's reving the **** out of there cars, i was hoping they would pop there motors!
formula, did you see my 93 Red Trans AM there? i was parked next to a black 97 z28, and a white regal gs (supercharged) i had a for sale sign in the windshield....
like you said there werent many fbodys there....

 

Dude, I parked right next to it! I hung around for a while hoping I would run into whoever owned it but no luck.

I dug through my photo album and I actually found a picture of it:

 

oh man, my buddy was parked next to me in a black z28, and a white regal... we left in his regal and i went to his apartment to drink, and i left my car there till late just to advertise it for sale... i was out in the sun all day and the beers were going down real smooth! i had to have my friend drive my car home, LOL!
anyways, we met before, at lebanon valley like 3 or 4 years ago on a track rental day.... remember??

 

I was about to ask if that was you. You had just put the nitrous kit on the car and it was having issues, right? May of '07 I think.

 

yes sir, that was me.... not sure if you saw my last run but the car just fell on its face and i lost fuel pressure.... ended up that my cats were clogged up... still havnt ran that car with the juice down the quater...

 

so is anyone actually going to go? ill go just because i need to steal an STi intercooler. on a serious note, i think it would be kinda cool to have a huge fbody showing just because they wont expect it. and i think JL should take his car and put it on the back bumper to show them whats up

 

well as long as the weather is nice, i will definately go... we should all meet somewhere and roll in together.

 

I am definitely down with that idea. Good luck with Jay's car leaving the garage though

 

i do have a 30,000lb winch on my rollback and a boom truck that could lift the car if need be.... push, pull or lift. you can run but you cant hide JL

 

bump... get your cars ready guys.....

 

ill probably bring my heap of crap there lol. only 30 min drive for me.

 

ill be there, not planning on showing the car though

 

why wouldnt you put your car in the show!? i had my 93 TA in the show last year. of course i was trying to sell it too.... we def. gotta meet up for the cruise up there subie!
