I recieved my sign up sheet in the mail, I was in the show the past two years maybe thay send them to the people who were in the show? And the movie we will probobly need help. We want to make a sweet shorter one to post on the computer, than a longer one of the better part of the summer that we can put on VHS or DVD. We just want something that shows a minnesota summer with cars, because cars are probobly the most fun toy to have. Like I said earlier we want to get track footage, cruising footage, street racing, burnouts, the minnesota ladies, and any other thing you can think of. The summer should be great!

FBIRDTA878787e could use the help making the Video we have a couple of video cams now we are looking in to software to buy, but the hard part will be learning how to use it. Do you have any computer skills? or anyone you Know? We want to get started as soon as the salt is off the ground, and the cars are out of storage. if you have any suggestions on software let me know. If you have any other questions let me know. Oh yeah if you want get some of your buddies and see what thay think of making a video. as of now we have a few camaro's, Few mustangs, one of my buddies wants to be in in his modded out Yamaha Raptor!! But we are trying to stay away from the imports unless we are Racing them!!!
Jawzforlife1, I Raced you last summer, we were on 77th right past 169, I pulled pretty hard on ya so maybe you were not racing. I have a Red 88' Iroc-Z 350tpi w/ T-Tops, I love the looks of your car, the wheels are sweet. we are making a video we gotta get your car in it. We can Race again!!!! I am from Andover so pretty close to you. Do you have some good computer skills?
Hay I remember ya, Not to sound defensive, but Their are alot of cops on that road, and I all ready had 2 tickets at that time so I didnt want to risk it, also I only have a 305 TBI so it wouldn't have been much of a race. I video sounds great, keep me informed.
-Since I have your MN guys attention, I got a question, This sumer I'm thing about taking off the front licence plate and putting it in the front window on the dash. Have any of you guys done this, Do you get herassed by the cops at all if it is in the window. You see its harder to get you with the lazer "radar" gun with no plate, so they dont like it when you put it in the window.
I never have a front plate on my car not even in the window, the only time I do is when I go cruisin in Anoka Or the Midway, I made a custom holder though, bent a piece of sheet metal up 90* bolted the plate to vertical side. then took out two of the front ground effet bolts measured between the two holes than drilled two holes in the horizontal side of the sheetmetal, then bolted it to the car. easy to take it on and off. Never Have I got a ticket for no front plate.

No sorry, I have no Idea how to post a pic of my car, all my picks arewith no license plate though. How did you post your Pic? I have wanted to but cannot figure out how to.
first the pic has to be a gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg, mostly it is a jpeg. and it can only me 1mb or less in size. Once you have that just reply to a topic, press browes button under messege box, and find pic in your cimouter folders, double click file and it will appear in the attacjed file window below. (right above the submit button), than press submit.
My88IROCZ----Man your in luck I have all the video making skills and such. Only thing is that all my friends have it but I know just as much as they do so...I dont have a camara but my buds do so...Just as long as the video camaras are a some what new we are rocking for this summer sound like a deal
my88iroc and Jaws I read your small racing story about last summer. I have to tell my little racing story. no matter what you have under the hood someone is always going to be faster!! last summer I had just finished up dropping in a freshly built 383 stroker in my Trans am and off to the Midway I went. a couple little jumps on the line with a mustang and a vette were fun but nothing compare to my race with the guy down the street. his name is Jeff and he won 1st place in the burnout contest last year on sat at the Car Craft show and 2nd place on sunday.
we both have the same size motor, same tranny and almost the same axle so we really wanted to race since things were pretty equal except for Jeff's Nitrious lol.
we got on a stretch of raod by our house that is really long and flat and got side by side at a stand still and then both of us just mashed the pedal to the floor for about a mile at least. that run was pretty even but then we turned around for the 2nd race back home and again side by side at a stop then both mashing the gas pedal. we were pretty even again until we hit about 110 mph and then he suddenly jumped about a car length ahaed of me. it was alot of fun and the ntro is really worth it if you are having a close race. baby crying have to go lol.
ooooohhhh, a video in my area, sweeet, IM IN! ill be doing alot of things to my car this summer but as soon as i take it out ill shoot some clips of smokie treats and a race or two at the track/street?? I am installing an LT1 intake, new carpet, new 4th gen leather seats, 9" rear, lowering springs, stall converter, and maybe a 4th gen dash install,... so i prolly wont have my car out that much this summer. hopefully SUM. NAT's. will be between some of these projects, i really wanna sho my car! check it out at http://members.cardomain.com/gflo383

I know of a great place for a large B-B-Que. right off of 94 and the 52nd ave bridge there is a park there with very ample parking and a huge outdoor building with tables, fireplace and B-B-Q-ue setup. I am not quite sure of the name of the park but I have been there a few times w/my little son (2 1/2 yo) when visiting the cities to visit my father inlaw. I am not sure if you need reservations for this park or not. I have been there abot a dozen times and the B-B-Que area had only been in use once.
what do you guys think if i make a web page just for geting together... like... info, dates, help, maps, ideas for the next place etc etc... you get the idea
would it work? who would all check it out?
anymore ideas??...

The MN F-body Club (link in my sig, open to all years of F-bodies) has a message board with an events forum for setting up things like BBQs. We have organized events as well as just impromtu gatherings throughout the summer - usually including two or three BBQs, cruises, and just hanging out together down at Porky's and the like.
Just thought I would let you guys know since what you are talking about is already in existence!
We also have created a few club videos of racing at BIR and just having fun around the streets of MN . IIRC, they are relatively large files though. I think they are hosted on an FTP somwhere but I will have to check on that....
You guys are welcome to come to our next meeting (this weekend on Saturday at 6:00pm - see our site for directions to the meeting location in Little Canada just south of 694 on R I C E Street) and check us out!

Hey I live in Burnsville and was woundering if anyone knows of some good places to race. I use to drive to newport to race but the cops shut it down. Me and my friends need a place to race bad.
Grover---I'm right next to ya in Lakeville...Me and some of my buds used to race at the Air Port in Airlake industrial park... Only bad thing about there is that at the end of the 1/4 theres a bumb. when u go flyin over it sends you bouncing every which way... other wise great place to do it....tucked away from view...but cops are anal over here...lets work somethin out. I to want to know of a place to go on the weekends
Hey are you talking about the air port off of cedar? Like if you go pass air lake ford and jeff belzers?? Sounds like a good place otherwise and closer to me then where I use to go. You ever been to Red Rock?
Just head over (down, up) to Porky's in the Midway area of St. Paul on Friday and Saturday evening/nights and hang around until later on. Usually a bunch of us will get together and decide on a location that is well suited to .......... uh-hm... testing , and we drive out there in a group. The locations are kept quiet until we know we can trust who is around and then a decision is quickly made so you gotta pay attention to what is going on or you will just see a bunch of GNs, Mustangs, F-bodies, and muscle cars pulling out and you won't know where we went . The drive out to the location is usually a ton of fun too . We have a few favorite spots around the Twin cities that we rotate around to try to keep them guessing ...

matt87gta----- Hey man sounds like a swet deal...I have never been to porky's but a couple of kids I know used to up there with a 98 Z/28 w/ SLP ram air hood...ever seen him? Any way I cant wait for my IROC to get sone and go cruise with ya's...
grover---- Yes that is the one I'm talkin about...its pretty sweet but only 6 or 7 cars can be tucked in there safly w/o being caught...I like the gather at porky's Idea better..LOL
Grover good luck at red rock because last fall they put up barracades so no one can race nemore ill let u know the new spot when i find it because im about 20 mi south of there
Wow...I can't believe it. I remember this post from 2 years ago...when Dustin and I started the MNFBC...that's crazy.
It's good to see so many people on the board from MN. I don't frequent this board much...really at all...so I haven't been here for quite a while. I was amazed to see this post still near the top.
As Matt has been saying, check us out www.mnfbody.com - we've got over 250 board members...most from the Twin Cities area. We've gotten big over the last 2 years. Very successful, IMO. It's been fun to be a part of...
The summer should be great!
:hail: 
of a laptop...so what ever you do all use? im gonea keep it like my NHRA one..
