Purdue Automotive Club Meet! Everyone invited!

Hey everyone, I currently attend Purdue University over here in West Lafayette, IN. (Any other Boilermakers on the boards?!) So, every year we have our annual Grand Prix Week Car show on Saturday, April 24th. On behalf of my club, the Purdue Automotive Performance Association(PAPA), I would like to extend an invitation to anyone and everyone interested here on the TGO boards!

I will have my '85 IrocZ at the show as well and hope to get some more third-gen representation! Here are the flyers and things you need to print out:

If you can't see the little map with street names, here's a higher resolution flyer: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~akremer/2010gpflyer.jpg

We are looking to have our best attendance ever, and we can do that with your help! Please come out and spend the day with us. If possible please preregister, it would make organization much easier on us. If you have any questions or comments please contact the club president Mike Lewin @ Mlewin@purdue.edu.

Hope to see some sweet thirdgens at our show!
Thanks,
-Will

Awesome!

Well I think last year we got 90+ cars or more because we send shout outs to all major car clubs in the area and other boards. It's usually a great turnout, especially if the weather cooperates!

Re: Purdue Automotive Club Meet! Everyone invited!

I would go if it was Purdue Calumet.

My tires are ready to give up any moment so a drive down there and I might need more than one spare donut to make it anywhere. Sigh . . . the thrill of buying new tires all around.

Purdue Alum here, graduated in '09. It's good to hear there will be at least one third gen at Grand Prix, I don't remember seeing any when I was there.

Do you have any kind of swap meet area? I have some 3rd Gen TA parts to get rid of.
Thanks

Re: Purdue Automotive Club Meet! Everyone invited!

Awesome guys! Well unfortunately I just swapped my ECM out and haven't gotten the tune down yet, so i won't be able to drive my IrocZ down to campus Hopefully I can have it for next year tho. We do have some fourth-gen f-body students and there used to be a few 3rdgen GTAs, hopefully they can make it too! I'll be looking forward to seeing your cars!
