did anybody make it out to the syracuse nationals last weekend? it was my first time having my car there.

There were a lot of guys from our Club there Dave. I'm sure some of them will chime in here. I made the first one about ten years ago, but unfortunately have not been back since. It is one major car happening for sure :thumbsup:

I would like to know the car count this year - how many thousands were there :confused:

I was there but unfortunatly car less:(, as I had engine problems at Grand Island the weekend before.

There were a bunch of us for the Cam/Am club there.

I was there,too but also car-less. I have been to every one so far. A little rainy on Fri. but over-all a decent time. Haven't heard an "official" car count yet but it has to be over 6,000. Didn't look like much of a recession-based show to me. Lots of cars and spectators.

Born and raised there..lots of cars, wow...

yeah i was there saturday it was a great turn out, i had my 72 chevelle there it was black with white stripes and alot of chome under the hood. i was parked next to a el camino that had the Schliz beer logo on it. anybody see my car there?

I wish I was able to go. Syracuse is my hometown. I've been to the nationals a few times, always a great weekend. They don't call it the biggest car gathering in the east for nothin'.

I was there, all 3 days with a car! The final talley is going to be over 7000 cars. Friday and Saturday I was parked on the east side of the midway area with some fellow Can Am Chevelle members, Sunday near gate 3 with the "Garage Rats" which included 4 rather nice velles. I use to post this event to see if anyone was going, always little or no response from TC members. If you could walk the entire site you would probably see 250 -300 chevelles, from battered and beaten to pro street with everything between. Think of any muscle car from the 60's to early 70's, it was probably there!

hey upstate dave, do you get down into cortland/homer at all.. i live in homer, there is a car show next month at little york lake if your interested im not sure how many cars make it but im sure it will be a good time. how old are?

Dave you were right in front of us (myself, upstatedave and others). We were to the left of the couple pro street camaros as you face the buildings.

Davemoses -yup, I have been to the Little York Lake show a couple of times, also the Preble Hotel! PM me, maybe we can hook up.

Cortland, EH! Hmmmmmm

By the way, "upstate dave" is ancient by human standards. However, we're just not sure if he is in fact human :confused: :D

did you guys get a chance to check my car out? im curious how other chevelle owners like it. i just finally got it on the road after 9 years. its been a long and frusturating 9 years. but its almost complete. just wanna get some suspension upgrades now. where you guys 2 rows behind me?

Dave, we were parked along the buildings on the east side of the midway area. (The west side would have against the race track). I am older then my car (leave it there) and so is Don Lightfoot. I probably looked at your car, but to be honest do not recall seeing it. Post a picture or better yet stop up to one of the Syracuse area cruise in locations. Also, start a thread about the Little York Lake Show a week or 2 before the date, that way local TC members will be aware!

Speaking of local area cruises, do they still do Thursday nights at the Regional Market? What about Sylvan Beach? Not that I could make it, but just wondering.

Yes I made it with my black 70. Bought a membership for my bro so he brought his red 70 on his birthday!! (GREAT Birthday gift I think.......)

Had a BLAST!!!

(missed all the cruising as we got there late thursday night; sylvan beach was empty from what I heard)

yeah i was there saturday it was a great turn out, i had my 72 chevelle there it was black with white stripes and alot of chome under the hood. i was parked next to a el camino that had the Schliz beer logo on it. anybody see my car there?

LOTS OF CARS HERE!!! (raining today) Saw a lot of Chevelles last night cruising.

Hello b man. I will be there in my red on red 65 malibu ss. I will arrive this afternoon. We are camping right at the fairgrounds. I meet you last year at Hickory Park. Awesome car you have there. My Malibu will be parked straight back from gate 1. Past the Chevy Court stage there is the pond with the white fence around it. I plan on parking near the gift pavilion building that is near the pond. See you there.

Scott, Yes I did see you pull in that way yesterday... I have been scrambling around as my fuel pump went bad.. and I have a unique set up........ahhhhhhhhh!!! Not easy with these toys. AND my car got picked for the Designers Dozen so it would help if my car was running!! Having a fuel pump overnighted to me.

Well made it home.
Great time as usual.
Sorry I missed a few of you that stopped to say hi.

(Sunburned)....

Sorry are paths never crossed.:sad:
By the look of the picture you were close by tooo.

Saw the cars as pictured but you were nowhere to be found. Congrats on your designer award pick. Not bad out of 7000 plus cars!

Yes I am sorry I missed you. The guys at South State Speed said you stopped by. (I had several issues that needed straightened out with the car... sooo Sunday was really the 1st day I could walk around... so I went to go drop my ticket in the bucket.. and missed out on that too....

Likin the pics of your car!!

Hey B-Man Nice job on the Designers Dozen nomination. There were lots of Chevelles there. I think about 1 in 20 cars was a Chevelle. Man Saturday was brutally hot. We left early Sunday afternoon. Nice to have found you there. Likely to see you at Hickory Park.
Scott

Hickory Park?

Yes Hickory Park. There is a smaller show down here on August 29th in Owego NY.
