Exclamation CAR SHOW at South County HOOTERS, Sun. Sept. 28th!!!

Sunday, Sept. 28th is THE DAY folks.
Show "starts" at 10AM.
BUT....I highly recommend you don't "drag your feet" getting there. Space will go QUICK.
I plan to arrive more like 9AM.

It sounds like it'll be HUGE.

Chassis Dyno on hand! I heard $60 for three pulls.

Turbo Regals come out and let's spank some 5.0/4.6/LT1/LS1 tail.

I just got off the phone with a friend who contacted the organizer.
That organizer said that there'll be a vast array of cars, new and old and that many clubs have committed to being there already.

Hope to see you all there!
Bill

Unhappy Not what I expected....

That is a HORRIBLE place to try and have a car show.
Nowhere near enough space for all the businesses in that shopping center's customers AND a car show AND a dyno.
Whew.

It was cool to see 2 or 3 GN's cruise through.
Any of you folks?
I had my T there, it was in the parking lot, not the show.
It isn't exactly "show material", after all.

The show was SEVERELY LS1 heavy. With an LT1 here and there, a few imports, a Jeep and a couple MEAN looking Custom Harleys.

The chassis dyno was some monster 18 wheeler rig with an enclosed trailer where the dyno was housed. That thing took up half the lot! I only had time to see a red S-10 Extreme truck on the dyno and hear it bounce off it's rev limiter (or was that the valve springs letting go??) before I took off.

You all didn't miss much.

I was there with my son's 87 GN. Saw another nice GN with slicks. Nice car! Unless you had an F body, it was not much of a show. Should have driven my 70 GS455 convertible; they would have thought it was a Chevelle!

Smile Exactly!

We saw you drive through I'm sure.

I agree, that car with the slicks looked tough.
It had Illinois Plates...Rob Nolan?

Yep, it was F-Body heavy for sure.

GS455 'vert? You're a lucky person there. SWEET ride!

Didnt see this thread till about 6pm yesterday, so didnt have a chance to get out there anyway. Probably would have cruised by if I looked sooner. How late did the thing go on? Rams game was good though

Thumbs up The car with the slicks was a GN....

Black as could be and had Centerlines on it.
Convo-Pro's?

SWEET ride with Illinois plates.

I only stayed for about 30 minutes.

Saw some old friends, chatted and hit the road.

Seeing those two GN's made my day.

Alright then, I didn't realize Rob had a Limited...lucky guy.
