I am B/N and will be going, I will probably put something on the FB event page trying to coordinate a place for B/N to meet up to cruise over together

There are quite a few Fbodies in the B/N area, I just don't see them out much either. As a whole the town has a terrible car scene

I don't think I have seen your car around before

Make sure to post that up when you come up with a place, I dont have a FB account.
Has anybody talked to Bob Taylor about doing something at the Classic Auto lot on South Main Street?

Can't believe I missed this thread. I'm in Clinton and work in Decatur. Don't see many F-bodies out much any more. A few around, but not many.

I hope to, one of my parts countermen is coordinating a swap meet at the show and he has been bugging me about bringing the Trans Am down. I wanted to come last year but all it did was rain that day

I'm moving to the Champaign-Urbana area soon. Anyone in the area willing to meet up and share some wisdom with a newbie? Or is there possibly a group of LS1 enthusiasts nearby?

My car's still in storage. Hoping for better weather so I can bring it out and drive it. Really wish the gas prices would drop below $2 a gallon for the summer months but highly unlikely.

I picked up a Sierra with a 4.8l in it and having a hard time keeping myself from wanting to mod it.
