I have no excuse ... I only live about an hour away from Lowe's Motor Speedway, but I usually go to the spring event instead of the fall. But I should have made it down this year.

I only see three thirdgens from Triad F-Body, too ... is that the way it is? Mostly 4th gens?

yea our club is mostly 4th gens and camaros at that (yuk) but our leader (abubaca) has the best looking 88 Iroc as some of you may know. and we have a couple more 3rd gens that just didn't make it to the show with us.

but you are right. at the show third gens were the minority even over 1st and 2nd gens.... with 4th gens of course dominating.

but thats ok, makes the few 3rd gens look special

what was great is most people didnt know what to think of the notchback. so that made it 10x cooler

oh and I totally agree about the black car thing and i was worried but that paint cleaner was AMAZING for my old crappy non clear coated paint.

I checked you guys out on Sunday. My group (Charlotte F Body) was under the stands Saturday. Very nice rides (yours especially). Chris does have about the nicest IROC I've seen. We had about a 50/50 split of third and fourth gens but only two birds, my Formula and a Firehawk. Looking forward to April and what the winter projects will bring.

88 Iroc???? Eighty eight???? Boooooooo creepy foot doctor!

...and mike, that formy may be one of the few thirdgen that's actually cleaner than mine!!!! ....and I know you've got some winter plans too!!

....as for me, I hope to have a built up T5 by next Spring!!!
