SSmoked 12-22-2004, 11:42 PM I live in Parma and i was just wondering what you guys do? I would love to hit the track or race around with everyone when my buildup is done. I verry seldom see modded f-bodies in my area, with exception of the most beautiful orange/black 02 ss i have ever seen. Other then that i just play with ricers and that gets boring. Just wanna meet some people who love f-bodies as much as i do.
Bob's 01SLPSS 12-22-2004, 11:57 PM SSmoked,
In the Summer, a big bunch of us f-body guys hang out at Sheffield Quaker Steak & Lube on Sundays, North Olmsted Great Northern Mall Parking Lot Friday & Saturday Nights, Solon Commons on Tuesdays, Etc.
I am a member of the NEOFB & NEOCC. Check them out!!!!
Happy Holidays :D
SSmoked 12-23-2004, 12:40 AM Awesome, i live about 20 minutes from North Olmsted. Gotta link for NEOFB & NEOCC?
Bersaglieri 12-23-2004, 03:44 AM I spend alot of time in the area too. My g/f lives in Strongsville, and all you see around there are Ricers and Mustangs, since thats their mascot. Not to mention I bought my Z/28 in North Olmstead two summers ago. It was sitting in the Dicks lot. PM me if you guys are ever up to anything, and I'll let you know if I am in the area. This summer I was there every weekend, the summer before everyday.

SSmoked 12-23-2004, 03:39 PM Yea afew of my friends live in strongsville, alot of ricers and rustangs. You guys ever hit the track together? If so where? Ive only been to Norwalk once(for highschool nationals) Ive heard about raceway 42 but never been their. Any good street raceing around? :D
Blu91Z28 12-23-2004, 09:42 PM Register over at www.neofb.com . We usually hang out at the North Olmsted Office Max parking lot starting in late Spring until the Fall (weather permitting), Saturday nights from 11PM to ???AM. The police are usually cool unless someone decides to get stupid. If any races get setup, it usually goes down on 480. You can check out Dragway 42's website at www.dragway42.com . Speaking of Dragway 42, Anyone going to the Hangover Nationals on Jan. 1st??? I'm planning on taking the Grand Am. Everyone runs on a 20.05 dial. It should be a blast.
526 SS 96 12-24-2004, 11:31 AM I live in Fairview Park, I saw some guys haging arround great northern, but it was always a bunch of ricers, and "mini trucks" so I rarely stop. I am usualy arround the area. My car is red/ black roof and mirrors, and has Stealth Racing on the front and in smaller letters on the side. 480 is a decent place to race, a good run is from Ridge Rd to Tedaman (sp?) west bound. Its straight and wide, I wasted alot of mustangs on that strip. If I can't get my turbo set up in time, I might just leave the car as is and cruze this summer.
42 is a dump, I guess it's not so bad if you don't mind the dirt Rd entrance. Or if you can stand the stock LS-1 guy that claims his car runs high 10's :rolleyes: , but when he actually makes a pass he only traps 107. I race at Norwalk, and in late May for the last 3 years I have an 8 hour track rental. If enough guys are interested I will do it again. I look foreward to meeting some of you guys this summer.
SSmoked 12-24-2004, 12:02 PM Great to see so many people in the area into their f-body's as i am. I thought i was the only one.
Bersaglieri 12-24-2004, 10:16 PM Is 42 still open, I know my local Quaker City closes down real quick in the season. Do they give you real stats for your car on the hangover national day? I know 42 isnt the best but I need some times on my set-up, last time I ran it was bone stock.
Glad to see alot of people around the NE Ohio area on here. Have to bring the NE F-body forum to life :thumb:

Blu91Z28 12-24-2004, 10:26 PM Yeah, according to the website they'll be open. I'd imagine they'd have to give you a time slip since you have to run on a 20.05 dial. That's going to take some practice. It looks like if the weather is good, they'll be running regular brackets as well.
Earnhardt3Jimm 12-27-2004, 12:21 AM My car and I are hanging out in our garage as of late. Stupid weather...North Carolina is awesome. Anyway, I live in University Heights. I'm not new to the area, but it's been a few years since I've been back, and the first with my car. I'd like to meet some other F-Body people. Down in NC the FBody scene was awesome, up here it seems kind of dead. I hardly ever see another car like mine around.
Bob's 01SLPSS 12-27-2004, 03:38 AM With the NEOFB up and running, you will see alot more f-bodies running around in the spring when the weather breaks!!!
Bersaglieri 01-01-2005, 01:24 AM So is anyone going to the hangover nationals? Also, I dont have cats, so I am going to qualify as "street cars only" ?
I can start running at 11am until 2 then I'll start getting eliminated right?
I just want to get some times on my setup and wouldnt mind driving out there to get some.
Will they get mad if I am hauling ass down the track running 13's?

SSmoked 01-01-2005, 02:21 AM Wish i had my motor back in so i could join you. Another week and the beast will be done!
Blu91Z28 01-01-2005, 08:09 AM I'll be there with the Grand Am. Time Trials from 11-2 and then the Eliminations start. You'll need a Snell 2000 approved helmet if you run a 13.99 or quicker. I can bring mine if you need to borrow one. It's for street cars only and as long as the track condition is good, there will be a regular bracket race so you should be fine running all out.
Chuck! 01-02-2005, 03:20 AM I live (when Im not at school) on the west side suburbs and I can honestly say nothing goes on around here. I guess there's **** that goes on around North Olmstead but Amherst/Lorain/Elyria is boring as hell. Norwalk on Wed nights is still your best bet, 5-6 runs is pretty easy usually but you'll have to wait till next year to partake in it again.
Damn, Norwalk whoop-ass-wed reminds me of high school and now Im close to graduating from college... thanks for the thread to make me feel old, guys ;)
JSkeet 01-09-2005, 10:24 PM hey just wanted to let everyone know that today i got the car out (i live in Elyria) and went driving after shoveling the driveway so i could back out...
i didnt see a single f-body and i was out for about 20 minutes.
im new to the area but i really hope the scene gets crazy this summer as I dont have **** on my 'to do list' besides go to school and go to work
Blu91Z28 01-09-2005, 10:29 PM I saw two today. A LS1 SS vert this afternoon and a '92 5.0L Z this morning. Isn't it Spring yet? :(
JSkeet 01-09-2005, 10:49 PM today felt a lot better, i had to shovel the driveway to clean it up some, im investigating coolant on my intake and decided it was a good day (sun finally came out!!) to get some grease on my knuckles
:)
Bob's 01SLPSS 01-09-2005, 10:52 PM Soons spring gets here, Hopefully March or April, with the NEOFB in full swing, there will be a ton of f-bodies around!!!!!!!!!! :D
