as far as what types of cars and the actual show itself, I believe it should truthfully be based on F-bodys. Thats what the spot light is on. How many corvette shows go on a year? Too many too count. I have NEVER been to a actual show where it was 75-100% all f-bodys. Its what we love, and it would be awesome to see such a great amount located in one area! Im not saying that any other LSx powered cars shouldnt be allowed to join or what not, im simply saying that the spotlight should stay based on f-bodys but with all other LSx powered cars available to be there as well!

just a few questions... Is there going to be an entrance fee for the show and to spectate other possible events? If so, how much will this cost? and when will sign up for car show ect be open? I understand if you do not have the answer to all of these questions yet.

Hey kidcamaro98......props for getting your sister to help. Suggestions are welcome....a little "wow" factor is good.
As for the show......they'll be two separate shows....one will be ALL f-bodies with 65 awards just for us.
The other show will be in a separate lot right beside us with it's own awards.....everything will be separate.

There will be entry fees for the show,, not sure about general admission though (doubt it). Same goes with the events.....if we have a track day, there will be a fee to run your car, but not sure about spectating. We stil haven't totaled up our cost yet, w'e're getting there! Yesterday I ecieved a PM from a sponsor that I'm sure everyone on here has heard of and would be real excited to see at our event, so this will impact the cost cituation as well. fingers crossed!

Im definitely in. Put in for the time off today. I have a group of 7 people including myself and Kidcamaro98 that will be coming from NY for the weekend. I just hope none of them flake. I know 4-5 of those 7 are not bluffing. This does not include girlfriends / wives, friends, ect.

Alright....here's the news for today. On my lunch break I called Myrtle Beach Speedway and set up a track day for all of us. Bill Hennesey, who I spoke with and is going to manage this event, was a huge help. He is going to treat us just like the Mustang Week guys....i.e. we do NOT have to pay for a track rental, which would be in the $thousands$. Here is what we know as of now...
-This event will be on Friday the 16th from 3pm-8pm
-Cost to participate in any or all events: $20. Cost to spectate: $5.
-Everyone MUST sign a release form the day of the event.
-Particpates MUST wear helmets...no roll cage, fire suits, any of that required. Just drive up and have fun.
-EMS on site
Here's the list of activities...
-Auto cross
-Track runs (Run your car as hard as you want around the track, 2 cars at a time. Cones will be set up to keep cars off banks and keep speeds safe).
-"Street Drag"...Starting at the end of turn 4, you will be allowed to drag race to the start/finish line. Just like it's done on the street!
-0-60-0 Competition
-possibly an exhaust competition
-Burnout Contest (this will be the last event, and no line locks, powerbraking, etc will be allowed. Car must stay rolling, Bill doesn't want the pavement dug up)
This is a GREAT oppurtunity to legally run your car in a variety of different things. You can't find this good of a deal ($20 to do all this...come on!) so we hope this generates a big turnout! This is all I have for now, as always we will post info as we recieve it. Next up will be info on the vendors who will be helping us for the weekend. These will definitely be shops you have heard of, and a chance for you to see their stuff!

Wow, I'm pumped! I haven't been on a road coarse in years. I'm forwarding onto the wife.
Also on stock 10-bolt and nitrous. If there is room, I'll bring my R-Compounds.
