Depends on what's inside the trailer that morning :D :D. I'll probably bring the 70 up to this one.

Do you have to stay the whole weekend ,or could i just go for th day??
Yes you can go for just one day. Saturday would actually be the better of the two days to go.
Most of the activities Raffles judging etc take place on Saturday.

Mike, roughly how many cars are you expecting?

Mike, roughly how many cars are you expecting?

Last time I went 2 years ago there was just shy of 100 I believe. It's not as big as any of the ACES Regional Chevelle shows or the CanAm show, but still a nice one to go to :thumbsup:

Mike, roughly how many cars are you expecting?

Larry this is not my show I just posted this to make everyone aware it was coming up.Jim Goodwin is the person who puts this show on he did not give me a definite number.I will email him and get a answer . He did say the numbers have been growing every year and expected it to grow this year also.

Thanks Tom. We're going regardless of the numbers. Just too much fun. :hurray:

Thank you Mike, Hope to see you there.

Larry, ( and others) This is a top notch show,I've ben to the last two, and wouldn't miss this one . Even if my cars couldn't come with me.

I missed last year...was out in AZ getting Ryan ready for his first year @ ASU.
I believe his flight back this year is on the 21st, I'll have to verify the day and time, if nothing else maybe I could head up Saturday.

We'll be heading up for Friday night and staying until Sunday...looking forward to it :thumbsup:

Jim emailed me last night. He is planning for 100 cars

It looks like I can make for Saturday. Are other cars welcome (67 Camaro RS Conv)?

Thank you Jim Goodwin. Recieved my conformation. Car # 16. See ya there!!:thumbsup:

To anybody thinking of going to this show. Check out the past years pics. It looks like a super good time.

I still need to register.

I just sent in my registration today!

3 weeks to go. :hurray:

I'll be there!

Cool Ryan be great to finally meet you! You bringing the Elky?

I'll be there!

cool..it always nice to meet another TCer :thumbsup: we'll be rolling Friday around 5:30-6PM and staying until Sunday morning. I always enjoy your posts... :)

Unfortunatly the El Camino's not done yet :(

Is Ground Up going to be there again?

I am not sure Tom but I would think so . They are not that far .

If not, I'll be swinging by there to pick up some deep groove pulleys for the 70 :).

You better, those 'side of the highway' belt fixes are getting dangerous;)

Come-on Tom, tell everyone what you did:D

BUSTED!! :yes:

Hey Guys, I'm heading over first thing Saturday morning. What do I have to do if I'm not bringing my own car. Do I still need to register or pay in advance?

You better, those 'side of the highway' belt fixes are getting dangerous;)

Come-on Tom, tell everyone what you did:D

Well, it kinda went like this.....

I was hungry, and I didn't feel like putzing along the highway at cruising speed so I decided to pull out into the hammer lane, drop it down into 2nd gear and wind it out. Shifting 2nd to 3rd at 6000 RPM didn't agree with the regular pulleys and Mr. Fan Belt came a flying off wrapping himself around the fan clutch.

I have to thank Rob, Dave, Sam, James, Joe, and everyone else that stopped to help get the belt back on. I, as usual, didn't have anything in the trunk to get the job done and those guys did :thumbsup:

And you would (and have!) done the same....that's what Chevelle friends are for! And besides that, I KNOW you were having fun just the same.

Looks like a game time decision for me :(

Larry, ( and others) This is a top notch show,I've ben to the last two, and wouldn't miss this one . Even if my cars couldn't come with me.

Hey Ed,

Gonna turn your wife and her 72 Vert loose on this show too?????? :D

I can't seem to be able to find any info about the show. I was there for the first show but forgot exactly where it was. Is it still at the same hotel? The flier on the site isn't working for me. Not sure where, when, etc. I'd want to get the info out there, if I were running the show.

All the info is here. Same hotel. I think it was exit 3 off I-84. Whatever one it was, it was the last one before the Mass. Pike.

Do you have to register if you aren't bringing a car?

Is Ground Up going to be there again?

Tom,according to the GU 2009 show schedule,the NE regional is not listed for them to attend :mad: they were not there last year either



Do you have to register if you aren't bringing a car?

Nope


I hope to meet some of you there!
Dan,look forward to meeting you :cool: I will pm you my cell number Thursday before the show if not sooner..

Thanks! I look forward to finally meeting some of you too!

THanks for th eheads up on that Chris. I'll have to swing by there and pick up my pulleys in person. Just a minor detour off the higway.

Looks like a game time decision for me :(

Seb, haven't seen ya @ any shows this year. I've ben to 4 Chevelle shows. you need to show-off those beautiful cars at an Aces event someday. ED

Hey Ed,

Sorry Stan, but I haven't ben to this show yet, so its my turn to have the ride!:yes:

Hey Ed,

Will you be going to Musclepalooza both the 5th and 6th? I was thinking MAYBE, I could grab Rich R and Angelique, Me and my wife and meet you and Kim for dinner. Just a thought at this point. Rich will be at my house on Sunday so if you'll be around I ask him.

Sounds great, Not sure @ this point, since we've don so many events, from here-on its day trips,but I am going to race. Plus my tow vehicle is down(exh man studs). Lets talk closer to the event. Are you guys going to Sturbridge?
ED

Ed, I'm going to Sturbridge, if the weather looks good for Sat. No way I'm sitting under a tent in a driving rain storm again. BTDT!!

When Kim came home I talked to her about Musclepalooza and she reminded me that Kristina's 13th birthday is Sep 3, the party is supposed to be the same weekend as the show. I am still planning to hit the show, even if Kim kills me. A little birdie told me you have a b-day also that week. Don't you wish you were 13th again, Hell no you wouldn't have a chevelle!

Ed,

The Show part of Musclepalooza is Sunday. Racing is on Saturday....no show. I will definitley be there Sunday with the Charger. A couple of the guys from MCC are coming up as well.

Seb, haven't seen ya @ any shows this year. I've ben to 4 Chevelle shows. you need to show-off those beautiful cars at an Aces event someday. ED

I had actually hoped to head to KC for the mid america show this year...with the intent of meeting and hopefully bringing the original owner of my 66 to the show with me , but it's not looking good.:(

Well... Ryans flight is Friday PM and I've already broke the ice with Donna so........ it looks like we may be once again celebrating our anniversary (22nd) at the N.E. Chevelle & El Camino Regional :yes:...god I love her!!!!:D
So... if the weather holds out we'll be making the drive up in the 66 Saturday AM:thumbsup:

I had planned on leaving here Friday AM to head up there. If I drive up there and it rains all day Saturday, I'm not going to be happy.

Remember 2 years ago when the monsoon came in right after I got there Friday night and car covers went a flyin'. As long as it stays rain free on Saturday from about 10-4 I'll be happy.

Hey Ed, 13 wasn't too bad. I had a nice dirt bike, did a lot of camping.

It was 16 when I bought my first car from my uncle (55 chevy with 58k mikes v8) who lived next door for $180.00. My parents came home from vacation and saw the car idling in the driveway. Lets just say my Dad had a little discussion with my uncle about the sale.

It was a great car!

13 again, ayyyy maybe if I knew then what I know now! :yes:

Anybody hear the latest forecast for the area? I have trailer issues, may have to drive 4 1/2 hrs on ET street radials. :eek:

I hear ya...if it does rain,this will be the 3rd year in a row it has rained for this show! :mad:

Yeah...but a couple years back, it was briefly(but heavy) Friday night, Sat & Sunday was gorgeous;)

It'll be fine, don't worry! :yes:

Rain stopped, stars are out, where are ya Seb :). I had about the worst possible drive up here. 50 miles of backed up traffic, and NO ONE and I mean friggin NO ONE up here knows how to drive worth a crap. The next prick to cut me off when I have a trailer is gonna get slammed into.

Thanks for the great time guys. It was nice to finally meet some of you. I promise I will have my car next year.

Just got home about 40 minutes ago...we had a blast :beers:
Show went well...not as many cars as the last couple of years but that was obviously due to the freakish weather. I only had to dry my car twice :D A least I didn't have to drive it in the rain!
Lots of nice cars!
Seb,thanks for the call on Friday too.Couldn't hear you too well over the exhaust! :D
Ryan,it was great to meet you and your Wife.

Got home about 10:30 this morning. 4 hrs and not as drop of rain till I got here. :sad:
Chris, nice to meet you and some of the other Team Chevelle guys.
I'd like to thank Jim Goodwin for all of his hard work to put this event on. And Dave Hambleton for talking me into going. Even thou mother nature can be a real b!t^# at times, all and all it went great.

When Kim came home I talked to her about Musclepalooza and she reminded me that Kristina's 13th birthday is Sep 3, the party is supposed to be the same weekend as the show. I am still planning to hit the show, even if Kim kills me. A little birdie told me you have a b-day also that week. Don't you wish you were 13th again, Hell no you wouldn't have a chevelle!

Hey Ed!

Tell Kristina happy birthday from the Jersey Boys! :thumbsup:

Will we see you this weekend at Musclepalooza?
