IROC's at Carlisle

Found a thread on TGO stating that they are looking for IROC Camaro's to feature at Carlisle this summer. Check it out. I know some of our members have extremely nice car, may be a good chance to get out and show them off in front of larger audience.

Yup, filled out my application and sent it in online about 15 mins ago. It said my application # was 4011. Not sure if that means 4011 people submitted their cars for this event (unlikely) or if its the automated # in their system. hey, its worth a shot.. if not i'll just put the car in the regular show field and enjoy the weekend

Just PM'd the guy on TGO about it. My car will need some work before then though...trans isn't shifting...hoping it's the governor. Computer still needs a good tune as well.

Paul, talk to Josh at JS about getting it sorted. he's close by and has a lot of experience with the factory TPI computers and previous to owning his own shop he worked rebuilding transmissions.

welp, I just got the email informing me that my car was selected for the Iroc-Z anniversary display, which is awesome, but does throw a wrench into my plans for the weekend....as now I have to get to the event on Thursday and essentially park the car there inside until Sunday afternoon. and book the hotel for more nights, and take a second vehicle too. I'm NOT complaining about being selected at all, just gotta see if I can make it all work. really cool opportunity and I'm excited to be a part of it.

That's exactly the reason why I decided not to enter my car afterall. I can't commit to being out there that many days with my work schedule. I'm sure it's going to be a blast though and you should be honored to be selected for the indoor portion...congrats.

thanks guys. I do feel honored. I figured out a way to make it all work out logistically, so l will be putting it in the IROC display for the whole show. Like you guys said, this may be a once in a life-time type display. Had the car out driving around for 3.5 hours this past weekend, and then spent some time doing minor adjusting on the new rear suspension components afterwards and now it's handling INCREDIBLE. I gotta take it for NJ inspection tomorrow actually. Then I am going to be ordering a new Hooker cat-back exhaust, and then order the NOS 05151 wet nitrous kit sometime within the next two weeks. Hope to see a bunch of you guys at the event, or other events this year.

Just a quick recap of the event for anybody interested. Also a link to my album of photos I took over the weekend.. about 400 photos.

Drove the car from Nj to Carlisle with only a fuel stop and Lunch stop. Car ran/drove great; flawless actually, and my wife drove my pickup truck. Got to Carlisle, and on the last 20 mins of the drive, it rained. Registered at the main building and then parked in building Y in a spot that they had assigned to each car in the 10 car display building. Spent about 1.5 hours wiping down the car and tha was that. Came back for a few hours on Friday since the weathr forecast looked miserable for Saturday. Glad I did this, as I was able to see a lot of the show and get good photos, while talking to a bunch of people. (we stayed with family Thursday and Friday night). Saturday the weather was downright awful.... but I was VERY suprised at how many cars were still out there on the lawn of the showfield. I guess because you have to be present on Saturday to get any type of judges award on SUnday. Sunday, I was kinda bummed out because even though th weather was good, a LOT of people left or weren't there. I had planned on seeing a lot of the YENKO cars in the special building, but all except 2 cars were gone by mid morning. bummer. Also, I had wanted to see the first camaro ever made, the 1967 VIN#00001 car, but that was also gone.

There was a great array of cars for sale in the CarCorall area, and a buncha cool and unique cars in building T also. A trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds, some cool barn finds, a KITT car, etc.

Of course the IROC display was a huge favorite of mine, and it was a really impressive collection of low mileage/pristine condition cars. Mine and the other bright red car were the only ones modified, the other 8 cars were stock. A few even still wore the ORIGINAL goodyear gatorback tires too. Met with all of the other IROC owners there and everybody was real nice, fun, and cool. Also equally impressive was how many 3rd gens were out in the showfield... I'm estimating there were probably 45ish total 3rd gen camaros at this event. A few people I've previously met in person (A.J) and some cars I've definitely seen on thirdgen.org too.

-Another cool thing at the event was that jerry Palmer, the lead designer for the 3rd generation camaro cars was at the event. he gave a great 1 hour seminar each day which I went to Saturday. I learned a lot at the seminar, as he discussed the initial design appearance ideas, showed dozens of hand sketches of the body prototypes, clay model photos, etc. He also went into discussions about why certain things were chosen or not chosen from the concept sketches. About MID way through my photo album are a few photos I took of the protoype sketches .. from the GM archives that h borowed for this seminar. He was also signing memorabilia and stuff. He was a very personable guy and instead of just signing a car and walking away, he would walk around it, asking dozens of questions about the car, its history, any work/changes, and other things. Way cool. I had him sign the underside of my fiberglass hood.

Bummer about the weather Saturday and then early pack-up of cars on Sunday...but regardless I had a GREAT time at the event. My car drove like a champ the whole ride out there and the whole ride home; perfection... so that was also a big big accomplishment.

ha yea the wagon!.

I also printed out about 70 NJFBOA club fliers and brought them with me, a mix of full page and half-page ones... and only came back with about 25 of them, so maybe some future new members picked up one and will join up here

I was there on saturday, and walked around with my gf. We saw the Irocs in the building they were awesome. It was the first time it rained when we went out there. Stayed for the burnout contest and then left after that. We missed seeing Jerry Palmer though, he wasnt in the building when we were there and then we found out after we walked around and saw a few of the other cars that he was in the building. Hopefully nest year it won't rain, and hopefully ill have mine back on the road and can bring it out there. Hope they do something for the 35th anniversary of the Iroc-z.
