Well its coming up quick guys and last year when I pitched it here there wasnt as much interest as I had hoped from you guys.....This year the car club I am president of W.C.G.M.P (West Coast GM Performance) is doing our First Annual Super Chevy Run. Last year we cruised down with about 10 members and met up with a local Socal F-body club before entering the fairgrounds. This year I will be trying to organize a very large pre-show get together.

We are a new club formed out of the ashes of a F-body club. Our new focus is GM Performance as some of us have purchased vettes and others have older muscle cars. Our members that went last year had a absolute blast and it looks like we will have better club praticipation this year.

We will be leaving the Bay area Friday April 29th to caravan down and will return Sunday May 1st. Anyone interested in cruising down with us please post up or email me at shawn11762@msn.com . Or if you are already in the area and would like to just meet up with us before the show and roll in together , let me know.

Last year the show itself wasnt as good as normal because there was a Nascar event that same weekend that drew 300,000 people. This years show isnt sharing automotive enthuisiasts and it should be great.

There is a car show, drag racing, nitro coupes, vendor midway, and many other items to fill your day. Go to http://www.superchevyshow.com/05sched.html for more info. We are currently working on acquiring discounted hotel rates for those looking to cruise down and stay with the group.


Here are some photos from last year........

So if you drive a GM performance vehicle - Corvette, F-body, Performance sedan (CTS-V, GTO, IMPALA SS, etc.), or pre 73 muscle car and would like to meet up...lets do it.

It may seem a little early but we are looking for a good turnout. Make sure and stop by http://www.wcgmp.com/forum/ to check out our new club........

If my motor is back together by then, I will be there! Im pretty sure that the rest of the club that I hang out with www.gmeternal.com will be there as well. I would love to get my motor together and running by then, but I doubt I would want to make any passes down the 1/4mile in my car.. The 10 bolt would pop like a balloon if I found any traction (I doubt I would however with 420+rwhp and street tires)

Hope to see you guys there!

ttt

So far I would guess maybe 30 ALREADY at the pre-show meet if the SD peeps show up like last year. And we still have over a month to rally the troops.

Hopefully I'll be able to make it this year. My car isn't running right now but for god sakes it will be running soon. It is a very fast car and I love it. The Pomona show is very cool, been there a few times along with the winternationals. :cool:

Damn, something broke in the top end of the motor. Going to take it apart to see what the hell happened. I think I overrevved it, probably a lifter.

I put a new Delteq ignition on there to no avail cause I thought the problem was the opti. Nope, I was wrong. :(

awww, yep thats how i got my delteq, my timing chain broke, i fixed it ... lol (it sounds stupid) at the time i thought it was the opti that went out after that ....but....nope a piston hit a valve and shattered, didnt think it was that since it was still runnin....good luck though. :(

Its drawing closer and I believe just my club is rolling down 10 cars maybe more...... There are a few others from local northern clubs that plan on rolling or will already be at the show and meet us at the pre-meet.....

Storekeeper has his San Diego bretheren cruising down.....(last time they had around 10+)

CSULALS1 has himself and 6 other locals coming.......

GMTERNAL is gonna try and rollout a few.....

Yep, It may be the timing chain or opti, I don't know yet. That's where I'm headed next. I don't believe it is anything seriously wrong in the motor after running it a few days ago, it was faster than ****.

It ran good at times after installing the delteq, but eventually when I started it later on in the day, it sounded horrible again: rough idle, surging, about half power.

I happened to take off the driver side valve cover during the delteq install and find on the #3 cylinder, the polylock almost off the stud with no pushrod in sight! I happened to find the pushrod and reinstall it and adjusted the intake and exhaust valve for the #3 cylinder. I retightened all the polylocks after seeing what happened. It ran good for a day, then crapped out again. This car is becomming a real teaser.

Oh yeah, I took the headers bolts off to loosen the headers along with the cat converters to change plugs and wires, so those are all new.

My plan is to change the opti next and to run the original plug wires perhaps. I did disconnect the blower too, it did the same thing so it's not that. :rolleyes:

If I get the car running, I'm going to the show. :)

What date is the show?

Damn, my car is still apart. Wish I could bring it to super chevy but choosing parts and ordering parts takes a long time as some of you guys know. There is no way this car could be a daily driver, you have to have a backup.

Puttin in a bigger blower cam & possibly heads, converting to a vented opti, double roller timing chain, electric water pump.

Hope everything else holds up for awhile.
