Hi,
Well, the weekend is over and the show was a huge success I think. I was too busy to get an exact car count, but we had 70-80 3rd Gens there.

Here's a great pic someone got. It only shows one row of the show.
Be sure to check out the Nationals Regional board for the next few days for more pics.
Also, we got some great video footage thanks to Kat and others . It may take awhile to get it into digital format though.

Oh, and keep a lookout for Thirdgen Nationals '04 :hail:

 

Glad to see everything worked out....

Who won the awards??

 

thats a very nice shot. i was number 82

 

looked fun, if you have the next one where do you think yell have it? same place?

 

hopefully i will have my motor in by then

 

Damn. Thats a sweet photo! Have the next one a little more south . Im looking forward to hearing the details of it!

 

I think it should be more central US...that way it's right in the middle.

 

sounds like a plan to me

 

i'm keeping most options open. next time it won't be at a fairgrounds,learning experience, too much $.

I want to find someone with a lot of land.
I'm thinking no farther west than TN, but it might be in MD, PA, NC, VA who knows.

One thing I've learned is you can't please everyone.

But, I'm taking a month or so off from the show, and not worrying about planning next yrs, until next month.

but , we got plenty of pics still being posted about this one.

for that many to show up to a 1st yr event is great, wait till next :hail:

 

The western part of North Carolina, or maybe Southwest Virgina wouldn't be all that bad......

 

*cough* Crete, IL *cough*

LFN AT U has the land

 

do it in illinois. central location with a lot of dragstrips available to rent out. If we could get into Rt.66 that would be sweet. Is there a possiblity of getting a magazine or some auto-parts company to sponser the event?? I know a lot of companies out there sponser or co-sponser car shows and such. Maybe if someone put up some financial backing we could get a big venue. I think the key would be to get coverage from magazines such as Super Chevy, GMHTP, Hot Rod, and others. Being the first group to get a gen specific show with big backing and coverage would be sweet. We all know that 1st gens get the majority of the coverage in the media but I dont think there has ever been a generation specific event to go really big. Just some food for thought.

 

do it in canada

i can get you tons of land, how many acres you want? ahaha

 

here is a link of some pics I took , sorry for any that are dark

Dangit I'm so disappointed, I wanted to go so bad.... looks like you guys had fun

 

Hmmm maybe I'll be able to go next year. If ya have one in about 2007 I might have a nice bird to take . I'm still dreaming.

 

Hey, Tennessee sounds good

 

As if anyone needs a reason to visit Florida.........:lala:

 

Heh heh...Central Virginia....30 Acres of Land... 5 Acre Cut Field... 1 mile off interstate.....But I like traveling so maybe not...lol

 

Yeah, and Rt 41 drag strip isn't far away. I've got plenty of land and I'll pay for all the food and drinks. I'm hoping to have about 100 cars for my annual Memorial Day party so whether or not it becomes the Thirdgen Nationals '04 it will still be BIG!!!

 

Seems like a good spot to me....

 

Cant go wrong with Bristol TN...

 

well duhhh, you got 11 yourself

 

He's got the whole crew of NW Indiana, and Chicago IL too! When denny throws a party we come. ^_^

When he threw it last time the caravan to his house totaled 16 or 17 cars! And about 25 to 30 cars there all together. Why, denny even brought his 1982 TA out for us! My *** it sounded MEAN!!

 

Any chance we could see pics of these 11 thirdgens?

 

look awesome, i am sorry i couldnt be there maybe next year. i am still in the process of getting my 90 iroc tagged and driveable, GOOD WORK MARK!!

 

He's got em. I've seen most of the list. I just didn't feel like going half way down into the field to find the rest. Its Thirdgens of the Corn!!!
