[BonzoHansen]

The show organizers are going to arrange for us all to park together so please let's try to get a solid head count a few weeks before.

[KevinW]

Scott, the website didn't have many details. Classes, trophies?

[sweetbmxrider]

I'll go as tentative now.

[LTb1ow]

I'll go as tentative now.

If I can get a ride, tentative as well

[BonzoHansen]

i'll try to find out.

[sweetbmxrider]

Sure bro.

[Slow-V6]

Put me down as a Maybe for now. I am on call that weekend but will try to find somebody who would switch with me.

[//<86TA>\\]

i will be there, since i can almost spit off my front porch and hit the place. I might even have both cars there, 3rd gen guys need to step it up!

is this "pay at the gate", or pre-registration? i didn't see anything on the site about that

I would step up phil, question is do I dare drive the GTA down there lol. Its an hour away. Not sure if I'll make it or not...if its rained out and pushed back a day then I'll see if I can go for sure, but that saturday may not be good for me.

[V]

I'm in. I'll put it on my calender now so I don't make other plans.

Phil,

I'll bring my GTA, back from my honeymoon the week before so it should be no problem...

Count me in...

[RyanDestroysWorlds]

Right now im a maybe but I think ill take off of work and head down to stay with my girlfriend. She is in monmouth so its like an hour an a half away.

[68bird]

I'm a maybe. It depends on if I have to work or not

[WildBillyT]

Tentative since it's close to closing on my new place. If I can make it, the Nova will be there too.

[Mr.FIRD]

Most likely I will be there!

[RyanDestroysWorlds]

Took off of work for the weekend, Im def going.

[Tru2Chevy]

FWIW, it's an hour and a half away from the Chatterbox too. If you wanted to come straight down from that area, here's a good route for you: http://goo.gl/maps/vghz5

Hey Justin, I was looking at going that way too if I went. Ryan, if I go maybe we can cruise down. Unsure if I'm taking the GTA, I'm trying to decide whether I want to try it that far yet. Though, if I could drive a third of that distance, run at the strip then a third of that distance back home...theoretically I should be able to make a cruise down 31. I presume you can fork over a fiver at the gate as well as pre-registrations.

I totally would ride down but im gonna stay at my girls in the area. Im probably gonna stay the weekend down there and drive up sunday night.

[Blackbirdws6]

My TA should be back together by then. If its not, I will likely come by.

[wretched73]

A few friends of mine are on that committee so I will probably make it down.... If i can out of work that is

[BonzoHansen]

I added a flyer I forgot I had. going to be a cool day, check it out

[greenformula92]

Im in as a maybe. I will update

Ryan there is a lot of us in the Ocean and Monmouth area so if you wanted to meet up we would all either be taking 195 or route 33 im sure. We have a little time to figure it out

[BonzoHansen]

All you guys that said you want a meet in conjunction with a car show, here it is. And guys that want to go somewhere besides a restaurant, here you go. All years car show, good cause, lots of things to do besides the car show, we can all park together. I'd expect this to be highly attended and an excellent event.

[BonzoHansen]

Kevin: All trophies are participant vote. I did not get a list of classes.

Phil: It is pay at the gate or pre-reg. See flyer above.

I'll update the list later.

[79camaro]

Im in for sure with my 98' :nod:

[KevinW]

This will be a weather/family dependant event for me. Won't know if I can make it until right before :)

[hel67]

I am going to try to make this one. I will confirm a few days before event.

[camarocrazy42]

im a maybe

[TaKid455]

maybe here. pics of previous shows?

[BonzoHansen]

maybe here. pics of previous shows?

you'd have to ask them.

list updated.

[redsoxsstink]

do we have to pre register or meet up and pay 5 to get in?

[BonzoHansen]

do we have to pre register or meet up and pay 5 to get in?

It is pay at the gate or pre-reg

[sweetbmxrider]

I won't be attending this meet.

[V]

Can we get an exact address? That one can google.


If you google "South County Park, Rt 179, Lambertville, NJ" ...closest result comes up as "West Amwell Township, NJ"
Their website says: "County Park / Fairgrounds, Ringoes, NJ"
Flier says: Ringoes, NJ: South County Park, Rt 179, Lambertville, NJ

...I'm a little confused.




Maybe in the south all the towns are the same? :-)


EDIT: I googled South county park , and went to their website.....

"PHYSICAL ADDRESS:
FAIRGROUNDS ENTRANCE/MAIN PARK AREA: 1207 ROUTE 179, LAMBERTVILLE, NJ 08530
HUNTER'S PARKING: 1150 STATE HIGHWAY 202, RINGOES, NJ 08551
Location: The South County Park is located in East and West Amwell Townships at the junction of Route 179 and 202."


....So its East AND West Amwell, Lambertville, and Ringoes.... eh? silly.

[WildBillyT]

That area is odd.

Coming from the North, go through Flemington, and when you pass the Shell station outside of town be ready to take the exit for Rt 179 south towards Lambertville. Watch the (sometimes) dangerous merge at the end of the exit. You pretty much can't miss it at that point. Huge building in the middle of a field.

[V]

ok, ill figure it out I guess.

and there wont be any issues with a 2005 CTS-V in the show? not sure if its for old cars or full customs etc... the flier was vague.
I guess since we are as a club its ok?

My gf told me to clear my calender to go to some horse race Open that day, but I stood my ground. haha.

[L695speed]

Scott, if you need a head count for space purposes put me down as a yes and I'll bring the 88 down. If I can't make it then I can't make it and I'll let you know. I have things in motion that may or may not allow me to attend.

[BonzoHansen]

I am told all years.

[Featherburner]

[Mr.FIRD]

OK update. I will be there for sure!

[Slow-V6]

Update.. I wont be able to make it.. Cant get off work.

[Mike]

I am IN. Most likely put the Tbss in

[S1ck_WS6]

Bonzo thanks for the heads up, I think I'll be able to attend this.

[greenformula92]

Im gonna be out on this one for now

[KevinW]

Wow, the solid rain for next week has moved out of the forecast :) Going to be 64 degrees though. My top is up for the end of the season :) It is looking better for me to make this. Scott, I don't see your name in the attendeed list?

[PolarBear]

I should be ready with my car for then, otherwise Ill ride with someone

[BonzoHansen]

Kevin, I'm out I have commitments I cannot get out of. I really wish I was going, I think it’s going to be a good one.

Bear, make sure David comes with the Chevelle.

[KevinW]

Oh well, Family plans are changing, I am out :( too bad.

[The BIG Show]

I plan on bringing my daughter, but we will only be spectators because....

1) Not showing the Century (LOL.....WHY???).

2) LeSabre been under the cover too long. It is filthy and I dont trust the battery to keep its charge, plus I'm getting a strong gasoline smell underhood when I do have it running. Sigh.....I NEED A GARAGE!!!!!!!.........or a buyer.

3) WS6......well, that's a little too far away to show, and everyone knows I wouldn't take it even if it WAS in NJ. ;^)

Perhaps I'll see you all there.

[hel67]

I'm in.

[Blackbirdws6]

Looks like I may not be able to make this. I still need to get the front bumper on the TA and make sure everything else is working properly. I may be able to make it but tentative for now.

[BonzoHansen]

you can always roll the G8

[68bird]

Looks like I'm out for this one (sigh). I couldn't get someone to cover for me, and I'm working till 3. Sorry guys hopefully next time.

[L695speed]

I'm still on the fence, we'll see what I'm doing. If anyone sees Matt's old ride there then I'm there lol.

[Blackbirdws6]

you can always roll the G8

Very true. I should be starting early on the Bird in the AM but if I don't get it done, I can go in the G8. Just depends what time I get done.

[Mike]

[zorns]

[Paul Huryk]

Where's the meeting spot for the show? Going to be a big one...

[BonzoHansen]

they are supposed to be holding a spot for us. I'll see if Joe knows. He is our liaison if you will.

[PolarBear]

Nova Joe? Oh boy, we're screwed :kneeslap:

[Mike]

James. Want to meet at amc?

[BonzoHansen]

not entirely sure yet. right now they are concerned about the rain. that is messing everything up. I'll post up more when I know.

[WildBillyT]

I will say this.

If they were planning on grass parking (which I'm sure they were) that is not a good thing right now.

[PolarBear]

James. Want to meet at amc?

Yes, that works. I was going to meet Phil at his house since he is spitting on the place and knows where it is :rofl:

I should have the Pearl too

[camarotwofast]

its late but im finaly in!

[L695speed]

I am in, if I don't sleep in too late, and does anyone know where we get off of 179? I can get to 179 just fine, its that final turn that I don't know.

[V]

mud update?

[L695speed]

mud...what mud? I remember blasting across a lake of mud (and nasty mud at that) with my Dad in the 84 TA in the 90s at Pocono Raceway. Was a blast for all who witnessed and was fun to go through for me and Dad both. LOL!

But on a serious note, are the grounds that bad?

[BonzoHansen]

As of now everything is on. That is all I know.

[79camaro]

I hope its not too muddy to park the camaro, Im also a little lost as to where this actually is on Rt 179 LOL

[L695speed]

I suppose we'll just have to look for a field full of cars if no reply by tomorrow :kneeslap:

[V]

maybe this will help... its kinda how I'm gonna find it...

[L695speed]

I found this, after I posted on where it was last night. Seemed to answer a ton of questions.... As they say "X" marks the spot, and after seeing this I think it would be kind of obvious. I'll be leaving sooner rather than later, have an hour drive.

[V]

i just woke up. my car is dirty and it's almost 2 hours away. ill be there after 12, but not entering the show.

edit: im out. after shipping out parts its too late to head down now.(11am)

[Paul Huryk]

I hope its not too muddy to park the camaro, Im also a little lost as to where this actually is on Rt 179 LOL

It was a mud pit. Took 1/2 an hour to wash the mud off the GTA - and it wasn't even dried on!

Seriously, it was good to hang out with James, Phil and the rest of the NJFBOA crew. Post some pics Monday when I get back to the shop.

[L695speed]

I got down there after you left Paul. In fact I parked right where you were. I had a novel way of cleaning the mud off the tires... well off the contact surfaces anyway...:twisted:

[79camaro]

Yes it was a mudpit but a great time. It was a little disorganized on thier part. Im posting a picture of us all lined up soon.
