2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

On Labor Day weekend in Pensacola we will be having the 2nd Annual HO Down car show. This show is being put on by the High Octane Car Club. If you have been to the Gathering then you most likely know who they are. This show is intended to be much like the gathering except it is open to all GM vehicles. Feel free to register on the High Octane website. www.hoclub.org/HO_Down.html Hope to see ya there.

Re: 2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

Is this event open to the public, non club members, for viewing the cars?

Will there be an area for cars for sale?

I do not have a car yet but I'm looking.

Rick Hogue,
Pensacola

It is open to the public. There is no designated spaces for cars for sale, but doesn't mean there won't be any. Hope to see ya there.

Re: 2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

Thanks.

Are ya'll setting up in the motel parking lot or over at the mall?

Any admission fee for public?

Sorry for all the questions but the link is sparse on information.

Re: 2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

I'll be there sometime around 0930-1000hrs. I'll be driving a Ford but I'll hide it in the mall parking lot.

Re: 2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

Some beautiful rides there, including a representative of my very first car, 70 Chevelle SS.

But sadly, no 3rd gen Camaros.

Re: 2nd Annual HO Down in Pensacola

I took my camera but the cars were packed in so close there was no way to get good pics of individual cars. It was difficult to even walk between them without brushing against one.

Yeah. Saturday morning is usually the busiest times with a few stragglers that come by on Sunday.
