East Coast Nats '03 Has A Date!!!!!!

we got he official word today. the east coast f-body nationals will be held on august 23, 2003 this coming year. once again at englishtown. since they locked in their event calendar earlier this year we can go forward better with our big plans that sort of fell apart last year. i am already in contact with the scca about runnign an autocross for us as well as getting back soem sponsors so that we can have goodie bags to hand otu at the gates again.
we will be sharing a few of the staging lanes with a corvette challenge, but tha tis only a few cars, so they won't really be in our way.
now we get to start beign serious, i have my final meeting with teh web designer this week adn i hope to have the site up and runnign by next weekend.
with the new web site comes some new possibilities to start growing het event.
one of the first thign si want to include is an event calendar taht will list all f-body related events, nto for general car shows, but events that will at least feature and individual class fro f-bodies.
also, anyone who has contacts at any companies tha may be interested in advertising opn teh sit eor sponsoring prizes or anything at teh event let me know. we woudl liek to use the web site to help develop a prize fund to help grow the show and attract more participants. we have soem contacts lined up already, but we are always looking for more.
i hope to have updates at least every week on teh event. stay tuned for more info and start tellin your friends

later

Starting to sound pretty good! I just hope it does not turn out like recent events. I believe it was two summers ago when i went and it ended early due to the lack of people. Not that big of a deal since i live 20min from the track. Hope goes all as planned. Keep us informed-Bryan

teh event will be a ton better this year. the first year, two years ago was mostly my fault. lack of experience prevented teh word from getting otu as much as it could have.
last year we had a date change that killed us. originally scheduled for a weekend that didnt' have anotehr f-body related event goin on with in a 8 hour drive, we got moved to a date that made us compete with super chevy only 1hr 15mins away
this year we have no such problems though. so expect teh glorious plans that we were working toward last year to coem true.
we have more irons in teh fire than i can even explain right now, just stay tuned and start telling your friends. where ever you live i promise it will be worht teh drive

I would love to go, but not with friends! I don't think we would want a bunch of "ricers" coming anyway. j/k They appreciate my car so they have respect. Either way, i'll keep reading the updates and will surely be there next summer. Later-Bryan
