Who is planning on showing their car in the Fbody day at the State Fair this year? I would really like to take my car as I have never been and would like to meet some fellow members out there..

Thanks, I'm a member of the site but don't seem like there is a lot of traffic over there. I was looking at the list and didn't see but a couple names. Was wondering just just how good of a turn out it would be before i signed up!!!

I think we had 52 signed up last year and 48 were able to attend. It's looking like it might be bigger this year. We had over 100 a few years ago. The names will start appearing soon. It is a "must attend" for many of us.

and the cost of a TFBA membership is less than the cost of admission + parking to the fair. AND you get to park in a secure/private area INSIDE the fairgrounds. you can bring your own cooler too (which they dont check).

so even if you dont think your car is 'show worthy', those reasons above are reasons enough, if you are more into just going to the fair and having fun.
