Default Here in Harrisburg, NC

Hey guys, what's going on? I am down in Harrisburg, NC now and was wondering if there is a lot going on with F bodies in the area. I have a LT1 WS6, 97 model. I have been a member on the site for a couple years, I am from PA.

No prob hope to see ya there at the meet. My wife's from a small town right outside Pittsburgh. Lil town called Ellwood City so you being a Steelers fan you know how they are up there. She made me get NFL ticket so she can watch the Steelers every Sunday.

That's cool, I've never been in Ellwood City but I know where it is. I was actually in Pittsburgh yesterday morning and the night before. I don't follow football much anymore, but if I am anyone fan it's the Steelers.

Cool, welcome!! I live in Harrisburg, NC too. Our Charlotte F-body Club, www.charlottefbody.com , has a cruise-in right in Harrisburg at the Sonic on 49 every 2nd and 4th Saturday. I'll probably miss it this weekend though since I'll be going to zMax for the NHRA drag racing.
More info on our cruise-in here: http://www.carolinarides.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=36936

Here's a pic of one of our Sonic cruise-ins.
You can find more of our cruise-in photos here:

That's the reason I came down when I did, I was at the drag strip all day today for qualifying. It's a really nice facility.

Looks like you get a lot of really nice show quality cars out there! Mine is no show car but it's OK. I like to beat on it and go racing with it Is there much of a LT1 crowd in the area or is it mostly all LS1 cars?

Yeahhh this is an old post. I am coming down Saturday though, and bringing my LS1 TA with me! Would like to actually meet up this time if you guys are out, I couldn't make it last time.

Got a question also, the last month and a half I have been working out here in PA and I don't want to miss any time when I get down there. Does anyone recommend a certain gym close to Harrisburg? All I know is Peak Fitness down on 49, but I haven't gone in to check it out yet. I will probably be in Harrisburg for 2-3 weeks.

peak fitness i believe is the biggest in harrisburg.
there is also a couple of cruise in's going on sat. 1 at pro dyno, more info if interested on carolinarides.com, and 1 at tubby's in rock hill, info on that one on other website as well.
there are a couple of gyms "out" of harrisburg, with bigger facilities, but you'll have to drive 15 or so minutes.........sportcenter, ymca, etc., both in concord.

I think I saw your car @ Zmax, what did you end up running? I stayed in line most of the night.
