i guess i'm just burnt out on it, going to take the money from it and buy another harley, actually i'm hoping someone will total it out.

i'll try to make this years, i kno i dont ever post on here, but if i do go, ill probably drive my 89 Bandit Edition if its runnin by then.

its in illinios? damn thats about 20 hours from me. maybe i can swing this. sure would like to go.

Best 3rd gen show in the country.

Too bad...that's was a nice car

Don't think im gonna make it this year unless theres some good people in bloomington who have some parts and wanna help a brotha out gettin the dansam back on the road. I may decide to come up anyway but ill be drivin the beemer, but i think that may be a lil awkward.

me and my cousin will be in attendance this year. neither one of us have been before but are looking forward to it! if anyone esle from central IL is going we'd love to meet up and parade up.

i think i may be attending this year. Hopefully i will have my new paintjob and all my upgrades on plus a lil more... I live in Grand Rapids. So its only a few hours from me. Just gotta get time off work and come up with the money after dropping what im guessing will be 4500 bucks for paintjob, exhaust and to have all my motor upgrades installed!

Dan you are also more than welcome to hitch a ride with one of us. Matt has a 89 gta and me an 88 roc. we will be going fo sho

Id like to go but I dont know if I can get the Z going in time and have it prove its self eneough to drive that far its only 200 miles round trip but the motor is still in pieces in the garage.So is this just a show or what all goes on at this shindig? Id love to see everybody on the strip.....I know a great little track about 150mi south of Crete Il.....Group race in 2009??? That or ORP in Indy isnt too far (and real close to me!)

I will definitely be attending this year, with my 'ol 1986 camaro berlinetta...

I will also be bringing photos and vids from last years TGF...

"Mr. Thirdgen Fest '07", the "international" guy from Canada!

Can't wait! Love driving 70 mph (or more)

It's Fri and Sat, Fri night there is a cookout and hangout type of affair, but the main show is on Sat.

lol good point neal
see ya there

I remember the caravan from steve's house that was a blast....hopefully you can make it man and work and yous situation figure itself out...if your not going we gotta get all those guys from last years caravan up there. i know i will be going for sure....little work done since last time : )

ya i might make it, still unsure. I'll make a caravan post in april if we'll all meet at my place again.

I have never missed a TGFest and I won't start this year. I will be there with my new custom leather interior and engine work in my '92 and hopefully if I can make enough money a new carb and paint job on my '86 (which missed it's first Fest in '07). A great time s always.

.

yeah sure why not, I'll come this year too. will have to bring the goat though as the RS doesn't look like it will be done. maybe next year

Im planing on being there again this year, even though I dont have the 'bird anymore. (Had to find it a new home due to emissions and the fact that I inherited a restored '37 Chevy Pickup.)

However... I know someone who does have my car and hopefully he will make it after last years absence.

I plan on coming but, since i dont have a catilaytic converter on my car and ill be passing into illinois, do i have to put one on for the trip or will i be ok not running one?

cats don't matter you'll be fine, although with a 305tbi why would you even remove it? you'll never notice the difference.

i noticed a def difference because before the engine acted sluggish on takeoff and after i cut the cat out and put an open element on the intake i could def tell a better reaction in the engine. Plus the egr valve doesnt work anymore so now it dumps more fuel in, so i get a lil more hp but shitter gas milage, but im putting a high flow on prolly before i come down..

Passing through states doesnt matter the only thing that matters is the state the car is registered in. If you are clear and green there then thats it your fine.

So its going to be may 23rd and 24th in crete illinois

i deffinatley goin this year, i was down there to pick up an iroc hood i bought from the thrid gen ranch, denny told me about the show in may, it sound like a friggn blast, someone email me with more details when they are available: robklein13@yahoo.com hope to see yall there!

info is posted on the sticky above this thread

Might try to go...Depends if the car comes together in time. Anyone coming east through SD wanna meet up?

I will try my best to be there. Is this a weekend long thing or just 1 day?? Cant tell by the posts.....

Might have both camaro's done in time?? If not, just the LO3 turd.

read the stickies ......

Ok guys can someone show me where my engine block number is when we're there?

Also my car is rusty in the quarter panels and worried what some people will say whan I'm there. Should I put some bondo and use car spray paint to doctor it up???

Hurry hurry times running out

Dont worry about it! Nobody will talk crap about it.

think I should try the bondo though???

i wouldn't worry about it, perhaps while there you should ask around for tips on fixing it the proper way instead of hiding it for the show

Good point thanks

Im really looking forward to this show!

Heck ya me too.

FIRST TIMER This should be awesome
