note: guys, this show is amazing, if you've never been. usually a group of firebirds/camaros all park together. last year, there were a bunch of rock-crawlers all jammed in together, parked up on each other's wheels. there are vendors, stuff to eat and drink and, of course, souvenir t-shirts and other stuff to buy. come out and support the DRWO fund, it's for a good cause. see you there! --jim

The one main problem with this show, is that the trophies(over 30)are given out by the sponsors and it is what they like(of course). This means that if your car is mostly stock appearing, or is newer('80s-90's-2000+)your probably not going to receive anything. I have been there(along with T/A Dan)for a couple of shows, and noticed that unless you have a wild paint job, flames shooting out your exhaust or a '50's-'60's modified custom, you will come home empty handed. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of gear heads around, but in the area we occupied('Birds & Camaros)hardly anybody came by to talk shop or comment on your ride, and not one of the FBodys took home a trophy. Just my :2cents:

[jims69camaro]

all car shows are subjective to the opinions of those that run them. i am not a professional trophy-seeker, so i don't care who wins. for me, it's more about supporting a great cause and to bench race with people i normally would not have an opportunity to talk with. it's a yearly tradition for me since 2003, when i first attended and 2004 when i had a car to show.

sorry about your sour grapes, ed, but IMO it's a great show, supporting a great cause and it's the earliest i bring out my baby for the diaper wiping season.

[bad64chevelle]

I am 99% sure I will be there. As long as the car is back together that is.

+1 :nod:

[jims69camaro]

i sent off my pre-reg yesterday.

[Pampered-Z]

The deal on the trophies is this. If you buy a trophy, then you decide who gets it. There isn't any real judging per say unless the trophy buyer decides to do that. If I donate the $150 to NBPD for a trophy then I decide who gets it.

It's been a few years, but it use to be trophy - $150, Plaque - $75.

So the odds you getting a trophy are slim. What the old CJCFO club did was ask for members and local vendor/car dealers we dealt with to chip in for us, and we ended up with two trophies and did best Firebird and best Camaro.

So maybe we get the memebers to throw in a few bucks and we get tropies for us?

The bottom line of this show is worth going to because it's a good cause. I know a few years ago an officer died and I beleive the family received nearly $10,000 from the fund.

[Tru2Chevy]

I am hoping I can make it this year. I have wanted to go for the last few years, and have always had something come up last minute. I'm sticking it on my calendar and hoping for the best.

Plus, it's just 15 minutes from work, which starts at 4....pretty good timing :)

Hey, John! Just like the "good" olde days eh?
Yea, for us it was never about trophies, just a great day out with friends and cars. We're just small fish in a huge pond. fbods never got respect unless it was george's, and thats the way it is/was. Speakin of the way it is, i guess i could register the taurus if i ever get it back from having new break lines put in, OR i cud bring the '03 century.......or steal the aztek for the day. (rotflmao) regardless i won't be shipping the WS6 back from arizona.

your sig makes me laugh............yea, you'll break it. LOL.

anyway, not sure if i can go, but i'll see you if i make it.

oh yea, gotta update the sig......nothin's for sale anymore!!

[Rich189]

I'll be there

Hey what do you mean? I walked away with a nice big trophy one year!

[Ian]

I am 99% sure I will be there. As long as the car is back together that is.

SHOTGUN!!!! :lol:

[bad64chevelle]

you got it Ian...just gotta pray the car is ready.

[Pampered-Z]

If my car is back together and I can find a place to leave it for the week I'll come down. I normally leave the car and trailer at a friends house but right now his driveway is full?

No way I could leave it parked by my apartment, it's be stripped or gone by monrning!

[bad64chevelle]

Hey John, if you want to leave it here youre more than welcome to for that week. We can leave it on the trailer and back it right up by the barn, no one will ever see it here.

[Tru2Chevy]

Heh.....you can't even see your house from the street, let alone the barn.

[bad64chevelle]

Heh.....you can't even see your house from the street, let alone the barn.

- Justin

:lol: my point exactly!

[BonzoHansen]

John, you could leave it at my house too.

[bad64chevelle]

Just got my registration for the show in the mail on Saturday, Im gonna wait a few weeks and see how it goes with the car and then register if it looks like it will be ready.

[slugger27nj]

I'm planning on going to this as long as I don't have a tournament that day. I'm gonna see if my gf's mom want's to bring the vette, too.

[NJ Torque]

You'll see my GN there :)

[zuuhlsT/A]

AHHHHHHH, Why not. I don't need a trophy as long as I can hang out and see some sweet cars!!!:nod: Also it's for a good cause so what the heck. Sending registration now and I'll see you guys there... It's been to long since I hung out.

[jims69camaro]

all perfectly good reasons to come out for the day. it's usually pretty cold in the a.m. but warms up in the afternoon.

anyone know the details of the convoy? something about all meeting up at sears and riding in together?

[Pampered-Z]

John, you could leave it at my house too.

Nice, I might take one of you up on the offer. I should know in the next week or two if the car will be back together.

yes, we normally meet at the Sear just off Rt18/Rt1 and drive over. I didn't go last year, so I'm not sure if we get the offical escort from the NBPD. Dan ( Creamsicle) and TangoTwo (Officer George) usally set that up for us in the past, but I remember some of the other clubs wanted the same escort so that may not be happening anymore?

[jims69camaro]

...but I remember some of the other clubs wanted the same escort so that may not be happening anymore?

ah, that would be a shame. two weeks to send the pre-reg in, guys. three weeks to the show. gods, i can't wait.

[bad64chevelle]

I am shooting to be there, but we will see. I hope to have the front end back on today, school owns me tomorrow and next week, then I will be in Vermont for next weekend. After that it will be a mad thrash to be at Cops and Rodders.

[Tru2Chevy]

I may or may not be there....that's just a few days before we close on the house, and it will prolly come down to either Cops N Rodders or the April meet, as I doubt I'll be able to disappear for the entire weekend.

- Justin

[BTK79]

I will be there.

[firebirdcrazy]

I should be there myself too

[BonzoHansen]

I'll be spectating because I have to leave early.

[69RSZ]

What the show is for is a benifit to help North brunswick PD,so lets look at it as we as a group are going to help a good cause,have fun on which will be a nice day hopefully,see some nice rides,talk to other car nuts like ourselfs and not to worry who gets a trophy or who doesnt.Its a day out with some other car people!!Have fun and get some pics!!

[HardcoreZ28]

As of now I'm planning on being there as well. I have to get my alignment issues and some tuning squared away but hoping that's done before E-Town next weekend anyway.

And John if Bonzo or Jon can't harbor your car let me know and you can either leave it in the trailer next to my workshop or pull it out and park it in the shop....I'm in Hillsborough.

[unstable bob gable]

I dunno if I'm gonna have the AMX in, but I'm gonna def be there. Maybe I'll sponge a ride off somebody...:mrgreen:

[jims69camaro]

if you don't mind being there early, then i could bring you in. and i'd have to bail around 1:00 ish to make sure i could pick up the wifey.

[bad64chevelle]

I think its going to be a no-go for me. Its gonna be just a few days early I believe. Next year I will definitely be there.

[JL8Jeff]

So who's definitely going to be there? I'm 50/50 as I might end up going into work again. I don't think the weather will be a problem but I'll be making a last minute decision when I wake up.

[BTK79]

If the weather is ok I'm going.

[Blackbirdws6]

might stop by for a little if its not raining. I'm never properly prepped for this car show since it's a little early in the season. Some real nice cars do show up though.

-brian

[Tru2Chevy]

I'm a maybe. Certainly won't be there early. I may leave early for work and stop in for a little while though.

- Justin

[firebirdcrazy]

Looked outside and its still raining so I will not be going! If it was canceled someone post it here please. Hopefully I can make it next week.

[jims69camaro]

indeed, i think we're rained out, so the rain date will apply. i don't have official verification on that. hopefully one of the CJCFO boys will stop by and let us know? or ofc. joe or det. dave will stop in? anyone?

[jims69camaro]

i sent an email to the email address in the flyer. i am going to call the precinct to see if one of them left word at the desk whether it's rained out or not.

[jims69camaro]

i left a message for joe. hopefully, he will check his messages and get back to me...

[jims69camaro]

officially rained out, guys. 5/4/08 is the rain date. jon has enough time to get his car ready now... :mrgreen:

[JL8Jeff]

That's cool because I'm at work and would have missed it anyway.

[BonzoHansen]

officially rained out, guys. 5/4/08 is the rain date. jon has enough time to get his car ready now... :mrgreen:

Man, same day as the Edison 1st Aid show. That's tough.

[firebirdcrazy]

Which is the better one?

[bad64chevelle]

officially rained out, guys. 5/4/08 is the rain date. jon has enough time to get his car ready now... :mrgreen:

:w00t: I may be able to be there! No guarantees though. I still have lots to go and so little time.

[BTK79]

Cops is the better show I used to live in Edison .1st aid show = boring & smaller lot.

[Blackbirdws6]

Well I would have been able to hit up the show for a little bit if it wasn't rained out. Next weekend will be no good because I am off on my honeymoon. There better be some pics people!

-Brian

[JL8Jeff]

Forecast doesn't look so good for Sunday this weekend either. I hope it changes.

[BTK79]

Man 2 weeks in a row with the crapy Sun weather.

[RiggsLW81]

do you have to pre-register for this show or can you just show up and enter ur car it? any fees? would like to attend...

as of 3pm sat its suposed to be overcast high of 70 for sunday...25% chance of showers

[JL8Jeff]

It's too late to pre register but you can show up and register, it's just a longer line to go through. I think it's around $18-20 to enter but it's for a good cause. Yeah, the forecast looks better now so hopefully it will be dry in the morning.
