Third Gen Fest '10' - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

bigdavesiroc · 07-02-2009, 12:06 AM

ok, so who's planning on making it next year? i might actually be able to make it. I'll have to do some different things to the car and trailer it. California to Ill. will be just a little too far to drive. If i do come i'll bring some jack stands and mirrors to show off the undercarriage. it's a possible for me to come back.

geez just what this show needs ANOTHER trailer queen

Thirdgen Ranch · 07-03-2009, 06:58 PM

I think there's a good chance we could have our best turnout ever next year. Having the website up and advertising here on TGO has really generated a lot of interest in Thirdgen Fest.

I have always wanted to go but if I do I want to have a third gen to show off. Hopefully I can accomplish this before next year.

AWESOME!! DO IT!!! Your car was nice last time when it wasn't even completely put together so I can only imagine the mind blowing awesomeness you have planned for 2010!

Does this mean people may have to park on the street? If that's the case... where will people do burnouts?!?

---------------------
I'll hopefully have a lot more parts on my car by then. I'm still toying with the idea of a custom harness bar. Maybe it will be my winter project.

bigdavesiroc · 07-25-2009, 10:34 AM

i should be able to get a set of new wheels and chrome out the eng bay more. i'd like to add a cage also. plus big brakes. i should be making another 50 or so hp too.

i'll try a third gear burnout next time.

RPM WOT L 98 · 08-04-2009, 12:50 PM

I'll bring both the 92's to make it more intersting. Sounds like it will be a blast

SnistahRS · 09-01-2009, 07:11 AM

Since i just got my 3rd gen this year i haven't been to any shows but I might have to get some of my local 3rd gen buddies together and make the trip next year.

aciddrop2804 · 09-02-2009, 02:16 AM

i am all in on this! I might not have the best looking Camaro but damn it, I love my car! Plus it would be nice to meet some of the people I talk to on here as well as any third gen enthusiasts. This sound amazing. It would also be my first car show most likely so im in!

Bullydawg · 09-02-2009, 02:28 AM

I am joining the air-force this week, and am going to basic around february.... So I will have to see where I end up. I am hoping to make it if I end up closer by.

bigdavesiroc · 09-02-2009, 09:49 PM

My car is still on the trailer from that day, I too look at the videos of the last time I drove it (thanks to all who put it on youtube)... I took off racing this year for monentary purposes... It looks like I will make some changes over the winter so I can run it on motor next year (9.60s are still pretty quick)...

On a good note I have been driving my 84 Z for the last week... It is a pooch, but it has a nice growl to it... I have a 350 going into it for next year (heck I want it to be at least as fast as the old ladys GXP)...

No baby yet, but it appears that it will be here by next week! (yeah, I know today is Friday)...

BTW- Thanks for all you do for the country and watch you *** over there.

GMCRACER · 09-07-2009, 09:34 PM

George Michael Carey V showed up at 8:23am on 9-7-09... 7lbs 9oz, 19" long

Thirdgen Ranch · 09-07-2009, 11:22 PM

Congrats George!!!

bigdavesiroc · 09-25-2009, 08:15 PM

congrats from me and tiff

ttoplover · 10-21-2009, 05:12 PM

I am making plans to attend starting now.... Hope the car is finished

anthony714 · 10-21-2009, 07:22 PM

im fricking go this time. my car has some parts on it denny sold me so i feel its only right that they go back to where they came,so to speak. my real question is what "days" is the show. its memorial weekend which is a huge getaway/fishing weekend for me. is the car show/judging on fri or sat?

racing geek · 10-21-2009, 10:09 PM

Friday is just the party... not many people were there last year probably because of what the weather looked like. Fortunately it never did rain. Pretty much everything happens Saturday.

Congratulations to GMCRACER! Will George Michael Carey V be there next year?

Thanks for doing what you do Dave. Stay safe!

bearcats20 · 11-01-2009, 11:25 AM

I believe me and four other buddies are going to try to make it to Thirdgen Fest this year

J91Camaro · 11-05-2009, 01:09 PM

I would like to know as well to bring up with the local club here in Colorado and see if we can organize a road trip out there.

Thirdgen Ranch · 11-15-2009, 02:45 PM

Thirdgen Fest is held every Memorial Day weekend in Crete, IL which is about 40 minutes south of Chicago.

It looks like Thirdgen Fest 2010 will be held on Saturday, May 29th.

Hopefully, we'll see you there!!!

sakattack28 · 11-17-2009, 12:45 AM

im going to make a big effort to go this year, i should be back home in the burbs from school in Florida by then. last year me and my buddy were going to go, but missed it. he sold his third gen now though, so ill have to drag him along in mine.

Make him sit in back for selling his third gen.

sakattack28 · 11-17-2009, 01:20 AM

i should. the idiot sold his IROC so he could buy another S-10...

SpeedyGeek · 11-17-2009, 11:12 AM

Where does this take place? I know the location on a map but I mean it looks like it's in someone's side yard or something. Is a park used? A store parking lot? Someone's house?

Also, about how many cars end up there?

Do only owners end up there or do local people come around looking?

And lastly, are trophies given? If so, for what?

Thanks

Thirdgen Ranch · 11-18-2009, 08:16 PM

We host the event every year at our house. We've got room for at least 125 cars so space isn't a problem. Thirdgen Fest '09 was our eighth year and we've had as many as 75 cars attend. It's basically just the owners who attend. We give trophies in nine categories:

Best Camaro: Stock
Best Camaro: Modified
Best Firebird: Stock
Best Firebird: Modified
Best Interior
Best Engine
Best Paint
Best Restoration
Best of Show

However, we consider this more of an "event" than a "show" because we get cars in just about any condition you imagine so you don't have to have a really nice car to attend.

All the information for Thirdgen Fest 2010 will be post in a sticky here soon.

y84pauloflondon · 11-19-2009, 12:12 AM

Has there been a date set yet? May something???? Do we need to register?

Venom13132 · 11-19-2009, 01:53 PM

I hope I can make it. I go to National Gatherings for the V8 RX-7s and Stealth/3000GT clubs each summer and they are a blast. Now that I have a Third Gen in the collection I gotta come to this, especially since its not too far away.

procamaro85 · 11-19-2009, 10:35 PM

I'm interested in this event, I too would have to trailer mine up there all the way from Arizona. My small fuel cell won't get me far, I'm looking foward in checking out some other third gens........Frank

y84pauloflondon · Today, 01:25 AM

Any word on the DATE yet?
