Yep, going on Friday and Saturday. I'll be dropping by the GMMOC area to say howdy and make some friends. Won't have the car there, though. Maybe next year.

Hey everyone. I think that GMMOC judged our cars, right? (Carolina F body club.) I know I talked to you Chris Valk(wheels rock) and tpiirocz, and Purple 92SS too.( I am the one that asked you to turn on your headlights so I could see them.) My car was the yellow Iroc with the cowl hood yellow wheels with the CFB. Should of introduced myself better. Any of yall see my car?

Later

Chris

Hi chris,

yea it was cool, i wish i'd of known that was your car.. i got a good couple of pics of it. You have hood pins right?? i was thinking about getting some for my car.. Yea, GMMOC judged yall, and yall i think judged us.. I wish i'd of known what the criterea for judgin was.. kinda feel that I was snubbed a bit.. a 92 maro having to compete with every thing from 90 and up. not to mention, all of the mods ive done to my ride, and im beat out by a car with a phantom flame job and rims and a lid.. thats it.. kinda makes me feel that all the work i did was for nothing.. i duno.. just seems like it was not set up right or something...

just my thoughts..

you mean you judged for gmmoc by judging the carolina f-body club??? cause i thought that the Carolina F-Body judged GMMOC and vice versa...

either way, i was showing with GMMOC, and there were no yellow 3rdgens with us... there was at least one with Caronlina Fbody though.. had the same hood i do.. the ASCD ss hood..

steve, Mike (tpirocz) is with GMMOC, he was the burgundy Iroc next to my vert, he judged CFB for us in the judging swap! Yeah the judging was a little weird and I knew some people weren't happy, We've already talked about how to separate judging for fall. I've come to realize that no matter what everyone loves an LS1!!

Chris, thanks for the compliments, I have seen your car and its sweet!

I had the yellow Iroc, but not the one with the SS hood with hoodpins. Mine had a cowl hood, yellow wheels, and blue powdercoating under the hood
