Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
crete, IL and no details are posted until march-ish usually. hotels can be found on hotels.com, orbitz.com etc in the area. there is also a campground which is rather cheap. It's $35 a car IIRC to enter and includes food, pop, and a raffle ticket.

Bring both Camaro's. We will make you feel at home. Plenty of local hotels to shop for prices at.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
I was last there in '04. Then I moved to Virginia and the car was under the knife all summer. I'm looking forward to going next year... hopefully I can pass emissions one last time.
I stopped moderating in the spring... no time for it and just lost interest in this place basically.
And my brother's IROC sold a month or so ago.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
Do you even have to take the test? I thought they removed the equipment for our cars from 95 back?

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
All cars in compliance as of February 2007 are now exempt. My car was not in compliance, as it was due for a test and then I put it in storage. Now I have to pass one more time and then I'm good.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
if i come i doubt ill bring the build Z28, simply because i dont want to trailer it and that would be an extremely costly drive. but ill roll the daily Z28 out that way

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
Yeah but we need to get some more pics of the caravan this year. That one from last year was good but I was at the end of the convoy and you could barely see my car. But that was a good drive though. How many cars did we have? 8 or 10 or so? Either way a string of F-Bodies going down the road is always a nice sight.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
I am actually thinking about going to check this out this year. I doubt I will be bringing the iroc though unless I happen to round up enough cash for the t56 before then.

Re: Third Gen Fest '08?
Holy crap we are talking about TGF 08 already? Hopefully we have better weather then last year but the quality of the cars last year was great too. Guess its time to start working on the Formula again. Doubt the IROC will make it but who knows.
