Looking to see the interest in a gathering for F-bodies later in September.
September 17th is not a good date as that is the car show in Lansdale, I believe. Not sure of other conflicting interest yet. Please inform me accordingly.

Place: New Britain Township Building Fields (http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=207+Park+Ave,+Chalfont,+PA). I'll see about, and pay for, the permit to secure an area for us.

Backup option would be Peace Valley Park, New Britain (http://www.buckscounty.org/government/departments/ParksandRec/Parks/PeaceValley.aspx).

Let's discuss the interest and some dates here so I can get this started...

Yah, let's talk. I was thinking about doing an F-body gathering at Numidia Dragway 9/10. We could play at the track during the day then head over to Knobel's (or) I thnk the Dream Cars club is having a cruise~in that night somewhere local.

Hmmm... that's the Sunday before "Patriot Day". Is that a national holiday? John, let me know if that gets set in "concrete". I might have to take Monday off cause I hate coming through the tunnel with all that traffic and scaring Grandparents (Sunday is Grandparents Day) with the exhaust. Bahahahhaa. :lol:




Meanwhile, back in New Britain:
Please count me "IN"!
Okay... 1.

sounds good to me!

Now 2.

It's been a while since I've seen most of you guys! Unfortunately, my schedule is PACKED. I think we're heading up to Spencer Speedway the weekend of the 9th to check out the "1/10th" mile track. The following weekend is a $5,000 footbrake race at Atco that I plan on attending. The weekend of the 23rd is the NED bracket finals at Maple Grove and Rick's chances of qualifying in Super Pro are pretty good right now (tied with 5 people for the last 3 spots with 3 races to go).

Maybe Brian can go and whip up a batch of taco dip for y'all. I did share the recipe a few years back. :)

Whew!!! Okay, that's better. :lol:



We're real racers with a real racing schedule unlike that show-car black trans am that keeps finding itself on the E-town dragstrip... Bahahahahaha... roflmao :lol: But seriously, Jacki... how's October, just in case we slide the date back that far? I hope for the best for Rick in Super Pro. That is soooooo cool!

So far, October isn't too booked yet. :D The 8th is the Philadelphia Modifier's Race I'll probably race in but that's about it.

I'd probably show, but F-body Nationals on the 20th should be a pretty big gathering of F-bodies. Just advertise that some more and get a ton more guys to come.

Ron, the only time I see "booked" on my calender so far is the 1st week of October. (I think that's when the race is :confused: ) I'll be headed to Talladega for the race.

You be a smart man, man!!! :D
Kind of wanted to get a day "fixed" before letting the world know.


I have people like Ed to deal with....

Ed... you're going to the the Talladega race on the weekend of October 8th. Charolette (Lowes MotorSpeedy-way) is a night race on Oct 14th. You should be okay for Sunday the15th. (Jeez!)

I didn't know I how to take a Permit Test (http://www.buckscounty.org/government/departments/ParksandRec/PermitApplications/GeneralReservationApplication2006.pdf)

"How many people are you expecting?" Uh, 3 or 5 to a ton.

..and you'll have your brother to deal with. :lol:
I guess that the park will be too far out of the "magical mileage radius" for the 'vette.

In the meantime, The Carol has to deal with me. Poor girl.

Peace Valley? Not with Ron around! :D Is that closer than Tyler Park to NJ or farther? Remember, the SS396 isn't as easy to drive distances as your newfangle F-bodys! I think I get 10 gallons to the mile or something close to that!

Peace Valley Park, Doylestown PA (http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=Creek+Road,+Doylestown,+PA)

Can't plan everything around your car, Jeff. :lol: There's like two dozen people scattered throughout middle Bucks that would rather drive to something "close" for them for a change. We need to hook up. :D

Oops, sorry about the huge picture, I resized it. But Ron, I showed up at the Hooters in PA and none of you PA guys made it! I'll catch you at the F-body Nats next weekend I hope. My clutch doesn't wanna place nice, just ask Pampered-Z.

Ha Ha Ha, No fancy hydraulics on that Big block clutch :D Soon Jeff's car is going to have a bump in the roof and he'll have a dent in his head from the clutch trying to do a James Bond and eject him out of the car! :devil: But he'll never have to worry about it slipping....

Yep... but wanted to make sure I had the place in Peace Valley Park for Oct 15th before I got over my head.
However, it seems like it's a go. So I'll make a new post stating the "event".
