The Trans Am nationals are coming up in august for firebirds.

Mericet · 03-27-2002, 07:17 AM

Well, I have been here for some time but I hardly post. Live in Columbus, work up in Mansfield. Anyone around Columbus should check into our F-body club http://www.cofba.org I drive a 92 RS with no mods.

86maro305 · 03-29-2002, 01:10 AM

im from Plain City bout 30min from Columbus. this town sucks. we used to have a good sized street race at broad street untill the cops started to crack down. it had been going on for at lest 50 years too and the cops went and f***** it all up.

XChris1632X · 03-30-2002, 12:40 AM

bustatc · 04-01-2002, 11:03 PM

Im from the Alliance area which is about 10 miles east of Canton.

bjm323 · 04-02-2002, 07:42 PM

Hey bustatc, how is the street racing scene in Alliance?? Is it still going on??

bustatc · 04-02-2002, 10:33 PM

I never even knew there was street racing in Alliance. I wish, that would be sweet. Honestly, I have never heard of street racing in Alliance. What do you know about it?

82sportcoupe · 04-17-2002, 01:09 PM

right in between leavittsburg, braceville, garretsville, windham, bristol. A pretty dead area if you ask me. hardly no action around here except what goes on at the nelson raceway.

bjm323 · 04-20-2002, 08:05 PM

You got that right. That is not saying much since Nelson Raceway is a sh*#hole.

My1stCamaro92RS · 04-21-2002, 09:13 AM

...made the paper. The NewsHerald was doing an article about the end of production for the camaro and Todd and I were interviewed.

This is so cool

robertg · 04-21-2002, 05:03 PM

that is really neat, you making the paper.

congrats.

I want to establish some sort of Ohio thirdgen get-together later this summer, possibly mid-august.

who is game for it?

TS b4c · 04-21-2002, 06:13 PM

I would be up for an Ohio Third-gen get together. I plan on having the big dent I put in my car out by then, but my cash flow always seems to be going in the wrong direction.

My1stCamaro92RS · 04-21-2002, 09:44 PM

You may want to consider this gathering the NE3 board is putting together... http://www.nethirdgen.org/cgi-bin/ul...ubb=forum&f=11

Or we could set up something on our own as I know I will be so busy in June with major carshows....speaking of which, I may want to post a show coming up outside of Pittsburgh. Maybe some of us could meet there...

82sportcoupe · 04-22-2002, 08:58 AM

robert,

consider me there, just let me know about it.

Todds1987iroc · 04-22-2002, 01:04 PM

It was great being in the newspaper. Thanks Rob for letting know about. I think a Ohio thirdgen get together would be something that should be done. How many Ohio thirdgen owners are also members of NEOCC? They have a great camaro show every year in the fall with all model years represented (1967 to 2002). This might be one place to meet.

robertg · 04-22-2002, 09:03 PM

I'm not sure what June is looking like for me, yet.

I'm trying to get the engine built in time to drive out to Dan Burk's modfest (see the midwest board for details). Otherwise, I'm game for any cruise within 2.5-3 hours away from me.

Can someone point me some info about the NEOCC? I'd be interested in reading up about it, and possibly meeting some Ohio thirdgenners at one of the cruises.

My1stCamaro92RS · 04-22-2002, 09:57 PM

Here you go....http://clubs.hemmings.com/neocc/index.html

I've been a member for three years now. Their meetings are based in Kent so the drive is the only drawback to the club. I usually make at least half of them in a year. They organize cruises in and around the area and have their own carshow, Fall Classic, which draws over a 100 cars in September. A great group of people IMO.

robertg · 04-22-2002, 10:04 PM

Ah, hell. Kent is only about an hour from me, so I could easily make a lot of the meetings.

I'll consider joining

just let me get the car running first

Chuck! · 04-29-2002, 02:26 AM

Is anyone gonna be at Brunswick this saturday assuming no rain? My dad said it starts this weekend, but he didnt seem sure.

Thank *** my last final is WEDNESDAY!!!

My1stCamaro92RS · 04-29-2002, 08:23 PM

Brunswick always has a good crowd of people and there's something for everyone. We've been trying for a few weeks now. The weather hasn't been the best but a few brave souls have been out there. Most pull in between 4 and 5 PM. Check the midwest forum on 3rdgen to see who's going where http://www.3rdgen.org/bb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=18 Remember with 3rdgen, you must be registered to view the boards...I think

Hi Chuck!

robertg · 04-29-2002, 09:09 PM

Yeah, GK requires that members be registered and signed in to the site in order to view topics. I don't blame him, you've seen some of the stuff that goes on

Anyway, I start assembling the shortblock this weekend. Also going to drop my heads off to have them looked at, then if they're good to be used, then I'll get them rebuilt.

After that, bolts, gaskets, a distributor, water pump, and an intake, I might just get this car running

My1st.... Once I get the Camaro running, I'll register with NEOCC

Chuck! · 04-29-2002, 09:20 PM

So its already going on, excellent

I really want to get more involved in some of the car shows now that hopefully Ill get my hours changed at work to daytime (as opposed to workin the afternoon to night shift) and the freakin RS might get some balls. It'd be nice to cruise around in a low 14 / high 13 second RS

Plus all my other freakin friends are gettin their cars fast and ready for shows, along with pops, so it looks to be a good summer.

Are you guys going to that NE Thirdgen picnic thing? Do you have to belong to a club or anything, or just show up?

OHH yea, anyone run at Norwalk? Im usually there ever wed night...

My1stCamaro92RS · 04-29-2002, 10:32 PM

Yeah, I hear ya Chuck. The weather hasn't been the greatest for cruises yet but it has afforded some nice days for at least driving around. Once the warm temps return I'm sure things will pick up. And cruising with a 13-14 sec RS would be fun, a sleeper indeed. Hope to meet up with as many of you as possible.

As for the NE3 gathering, letting Chuck Everly know you're coming would help him keep track of numbers to expect. No need to be a member, just have a love for the f-body.

Robertg, sounds like a plan and hope it comes your way with the installs.

The "Cruisin Times" is a paper that carries all the info for the cruises and shows in and around the area but its availability is sparse. Their website is down too so going over the different forums at the different sites is about the only way to keep track of the various locations people are meeting up at.

My1stCamaro92RS · 05-01-2002, 08:11 PM

FYI, a few of us are shooting for Brunswick this Saturday if interested., somewhere around 5. http://www.3rdgen.org/bb/forumdispla...id=18&x=6&y=13

Four12'sCamaro · 05-03-2002, 10:01 AM

That sucks, I gotta work that night. I'll stop up there around 2-3

My1stCamaro92RS · 05-03-2002, 06:15 PM

Hi Steve...looking good. I can't remember if I sent you all the photos I have of your car or not...old age...but if you want the rest from that night, let me know.

Kevs86TA · 05-04-2002, 03:26 AM

I would like to see a ThirdGen gathering in Ohio, just wish i could get my money from work to get my body work and paint done.

jer4251 · 05-06-2002, 10:55 PM

corvettezl1 · 05-08-2002, 07:16 PM
