**Young11b** · 05-12-2011, 09:36 AM

I know I have seen this thread before (months ago) but can not find it. I was wondering if anyone was going to attend. I will be home on R&R during this and seems like the only car show near me I can attend. Any takers???

Haven't sa down and decided yet but I'd say I have a pretty good chance of being there.

I just bought a complete vinyl kit, WS-13 badge, new rotors, brake pads, 3 guage pod cluster (front window pillar), DMH electronic cut-out, getting my ground effects kit put on and painted, and front bumper painted, trying to look good for the car shows going on. Along with this one, Back to the Bricks and WoodWard Dream Cruise will also be going on in MI the 2 weeks Im home.

Me and my hubby are plannin on going again this year. That is if gas don't go to $5 a gallon. It's a 6 1/2hr drive for us. This would be our 4th year going.

**raynor139** · 05-18-2011, 03:50 PM

Would love to go but with the distance and having started a new job this year dont have alot of vacation time yet. My uncle goes every year with his 72 455 and 99 firedbird.

YesssirrreeeeBob, I'll be there. It's about 600 miles, did it in 2009 in about 8 hours. Stayed right at the host hotel, frikkin awesome. Found a local hand-wash (!) car wash and a liquor store nearby. If you look in "High Performance Pontiac" from late 2009 ( nov or dec. issue), there is actually a pic of me standing next to my car talking to some folks.

The best thing about the whole weekend is the cruise to Tipp City on Sat. I go to Tipp around 1 pm on Sat to get a good parking spot. Then I just sit on one of the benches and watch everybody cruise into town. Pretty good show.

If anybody is interested in cruising out there together, let me know. I usually drive out there and don't see anyone else.
..I usually leave my house in NJ on Thursday morn about 7am.

I do the same thing, I get to Tipp City at 2:30 PM on Sat. and watch all the car come in from Dayton for the 5:00 PM Cruise in. But it only takes me about 45 minutes to drive to Tipp City.

Hey Jeffy, how are you and the Boss doing?

It's easier for me to run 78w to 81s and then jump on the PA Tpk to 70 west to Dayton area. I could run across 80 though. Where I live in NJ I can access either 78 or 80 easily. Let me know, I usually leave my house on Thursday morning.

P.S...If you give me a little incentive, like bringing one of Dawn's unhappily married skinny friends, or maybe her single younger sister, say, then I would be MORE than happy to " come across " I80. LOL

**pajeff02** · 05-20-2011, 12:00 PM

I thought you might go the southern route -- we'll have to see how things go. No younger sisters on her side of the family, or mine... we each have two brothers.
