ok, so I talked to Bennie, & he said only a couple of buddies w/ vettes are coming out. not the "club", and the viper is just 1 car. So this is still a TGO event. Priority parking for 3rd Gen members.
I also talked to IHOP, & they are kicking in some free lunch coupons, so we will be giving those out as door prizes, is longest drive to the show, best looking car etc, etc.

 

Hey 3rdBird, are we going to have assigned parking for each of us? Im going to be a little late. Im going to leave my house around 11:30. its about 1hr drive for me to get there. The last thing i want to do is miss this event.

 

I am in if it is mainly 3rd gens and there is assigned parking for 3rd gen members. It is about a 2 hour drive. haha, probably about 1.5 in the formula though...

 

Even better with assigned parking. I have a friend I work with who has a cherry 69 Buick GS fresh outta the body shop, and he wanted to tag along. I don't know if thats alright?

 

There wont be any real "assigned" parking, but I can assure you that this is a TGO event, so 3rd Gen cars will be able to park on the main lot & have some rack time too. I just wanted to clarify that this wont be a mixed "Third Gen, Corvette, Viper" event. Its all about TGO! Anyone that wants to tag along with different cars is welcome to come too. I just got off the phone w/ 98 Rock & unless its a charity event they charge big bucks to show up.

 

Bump.

Count me in for helping with the KP duty.

When is this event again? Mr. Del... could we get a sticky post on this issue so we can easily locate the details, attendence, directions and so forth? Maybe a whole new thread would be cool.

I want to go.

 

This is a TGO event but I personally invite your friend to bring his GS. I like to see other fast cars, resto, retro, modified, you name it. And, I know I am not the only one that would like to see other such cars. Corvette's are invited. Why? I own one and drive it. Vipers...why? Because I want one. Even TraviS wants one too. Even a blown(force induction not that "blown") riding lawnmower is welcome. Why? Like to see how it's done and wouldn't that be something funny to see there. Hooters babes. Why? 3rdbird has a racing go-kart with full slicks that might be there as well. Not 3rd gen related but who wouldn't want to take that for a spin . And a blown riding mower....let's not even start on that.

3rdbird acquired this shop few months ago and what's one of the best way to promote this kind of business??????? CAR SHOW...... Most people that drive Vettes, Vipers, Cobras and other restored cars have daily driver cars that will eventually need some kind of service. And when they do, which shop might come to their mind?.....the shop that had the car show. Even us TGO members, we will need some kind of service that we can't perform in our own garage. I know I will contact Marc(3rdbird) when that time comes. So it goes both ways....he is going to host it and we'll help him promote his business. Mark and I are already planning the next TGO car show and track rental at Sac Raceway. The next one will be even better. See you all there!!!!!!!

 

I can't wait. There a few of you I look FWD to seeing again and a bunch I've wanted to meet for a while. I hope that Outatime GTA brings his Pontiac.

 

Again I ask... When? Sticky?

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Date/Time: April 6, from 11am-5pm. That's on Sunday . Saturday is a regular business day for the shop so saturday is kinda out of the question and plus if we do it on sunday we can use the shop. We can end it earlier than 5pm if we decide to take a drive....."

 

Stuck this thread up top and renamed it "April '08 GTG".

Daniel - I'll be there and plan to bring my GTA.

 

Thanks Del.

 

Bennie (Or Daniel),

Can you post up the address of the location. I can't find it other than this reference: I am planning to set up a GTG at a shop in Lincoln by Galleria BLVD.

Can I get a 'google-able' address?

 

Wish I could make it but its pretty far as I dont have a Camaro yet and Redding Kool April Nights is coming up. Hopefully next year.

 

6800 Five Star Blvd
Rocklin, CA 95677

 

Cool, been looking FWD to seeing it and meeting you for a while! There's a bunch of ?'s I want to ask all you guys in regaurds to TPI and it's theoretical limits. It'll be a 4 1/2 hour trek for me and the rest of the Cen Cal group.

 

You going to spend the night in the area? I could offer a place halfway between SLO and SAC...

 

I'll definitely be there!...

 

Does anyone mind if I bring my Friends? One has an 89 California Special 5.0, One has a 240sx, and one has a '69 Camaro.

 

don't think anyone would mind, your the one that was making a big stink about non thirdgen cars being there

 

haha, word.

 

hey guys! long time no see! so theres a meet coming up huh? can I come still even though I am third gen less?

 

Yeah, I know. Haha, I figure if it is mainly 3rd gens, Ill be there. I mainly need to get my Gas mileage issue fixed.

 

Hey Ellen!

What would you be drivin' then?

Bring it!

 

Nah, I gotta be at work on Monday, but thanks for the offer.

 

"And the winner of the cleanest F body goes to......."
----------
Only if you bring an extinguisher!

 

I think someone else (unnamed) will attend with the extenguisher..

 

Or on a better note hopefully a few fake 3rdgenners (unnamed) won't attend

 

who is this un named person you guys are talking about?

 

So I take it you don't want me to bring my friends?

 

Door prizes are stacking up, Flowmaster shirts, hats, stickers, gift bags, etc etc. Pro photographer showing up to take pics. looks like its going to be big deal!!!

 

"I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!"

 

i wont be in the iroc dont have time to swap motors

 

How many people would be interested in a PROM session. You'd need to bring your own PROM chips. I have the Moates stuff, but would need someone who's familiar with it and a laptop. I'll be bringing a few 3rdgen parts from my garage if anyone is interested.
Stock TB, runners, 2ng gen center caps, Turbo 350 FRAM trans filter(FT1020)

 

Photographer, awesome.

I like the idea of a 3rd gen "swap meet" at the GTG.
Bringing some of your extras to make a deal on. Can't say that I have much to offer anymore, got rid of most of it.

Don't have the need to burn my own proms anymore, but have some knowledge of the hardware/software, as do a few others I'm sure.

 

Would someone be able to help me get my IAC and TPS adjustments done? From what I've read they seem to be fairly simple procedures, I just don't have those electronic scanner tools...

Let's hope it doesn't rain

 

Friggin' A! I have to wax the car next weekend or it won't get done. I get back from the Southeast (again) the Saturday before this event so there will be no time unless I do it soon.

This is gonna be good!

 

If I can fix my rear end this week. Ill be there.

 

3rdBird - Do you have a final flyer available for distribution that has the address and all the awesomeness that will be taking place for this GTG? I saw the original one you posted, but you've added some nice perks since then.

The weekend before, I'll send a copy out as a reminder/invitation to the 50+ members on our Nor-cal Thirdgen email distribution list.

I'm sure it will be a nice size turnout and I'm looking fwd to it.

 

Hey Del,
Marc is on vacation. I have fliers in my car. I was going to call you last week and meet with you on my way home but my schedule was a little hectic. I will call you Thursday and meet you somewhere to give you the flier and discuss other things.

 

Sounds good Bennie, just give me a call if you are available.
I was wanting a softcopy flyer to include in the mass email.
I'm sure I can track down a scanner if needed.

 

I have a scanner and copier in my home office if you need it.

I live off Elkhorn, and Werlega.

 

your around the coner from me. Im off Palmerson and Don Julio

 

Thanks for the offer guys, no worries.

I'm off Auburn/Van Maren FTW!

Oh and some details for the GTG, I will be bringing burgers and dogs, with all the fixings for 20 or so ppl, I will also be bbq-ing a try-tip, I will bring 2 ice chests with ice, one for meats and such, and one for sodas, And I will bring paper plates, napkins and utensils and stuff. What I need help with sides and drinks. Chips, dip, potato salad exe also some drinks, sodas water such I will bring a little but it will run out fast.

I will help out with the drink. Im ok with hot dogs and chips! Hey scribbles, go to costco and get there hot dogs. They sell them inside. Those are bomb dogs!!
