IS ANYONE HERE GOING TO THE CAR CRAFT SHOW FROM JULY 19-21ST IN ST. PAUL MINNESOTA??? IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THIS SHOW THEN YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THE BEST CAR SHOWS TO COME TO MINNESOTA OR THE FIVE STATE AREA FOR THAT MATTER. OPEN HEADER PARADE,BIKINI CONTEST,DYNO CHALLENGE,BURNOUT CONTEST,SWAP MEET,HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF CARS. AND YOU CAN EVEN DRIVE YOU CAR AROUND THE MN FAIRGROUNDS ALL DAY WITH OPEN HEADERS. THE SHOW IS AT THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR GROUNDS ON JULY 19-21ST. I AM IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND I HAVE GONE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS NOW. I AM TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A MUSCLE CAR CONVOY TO GO TO THE SHOW ON THE 21ST. EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD WANT TO JOIN THE CONVOY(FREE). I DON'T WORK FOR CAR CRAFT AT ALL. IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST SHOW OF THE YEAR AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY JULY LIKE A LITTLE KID LOOKS FORWD TO X-MAS.I THOUGHT A CONVOY OF MUSCLE WOULD BE A REAL KICK *** WAY TO GO UP TO THAT SHOW. IF WE GET A GOOD TURN OUT THEN WE'LL HAVE A CONVOY EVERY YEAR. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/84transam/

 

I am planning on going. I'm trying to hit all the big ones this year. I will be at the carshow in Jefferson, WI next weekend. And will also be going to Iola, WI this year again. Maybe my car will be done by then to enter it, but no big deal if it isn't. Just nice to drive it to them.

 

Im going but I live west of there and will be going with the MNFBODY Car Club. I will let them know and maybe there will be a nice convoy of 3rd and 4th gens.

 

I'll be there again this year with my purple 89 Formula. My DFI tuning issues are history thanks to F.A.S.T. Electronics, so this year we'll be ready to tear up the dyno challenge.

 

how do you enter your car for the dyno challenge??? I have just finished up getting my car back on the road and would love to get it chassis tested.

 

that is a great car show went about 4yrs ago have not been able to make it back since. Maybe this year I will have to see.

 

With the Chassis Dyno it use to be you got there early and got your name put on the list and then hoped they got to you. I'm not real sure, but I think last year they did something different. It almost looked like they were picking the how they wanted from the list of who signed up. As long as I don't break before July, I guess I'll find out.

I've been to all of the and they keep getting better every year. Just wish they had drag racing on their list of activities. Of course if they did that I'd have to cut down on the amount of 'beverages' consumed and we wouldn't want that

Rumor has it that Bud Light and Schmirnoff will be sponsoring our group this year

 

I hear ya. drag racing is the only thing this show doesn't have. I can't imagine anyone ever walking away from the Car Craft Show disappointed. I'm sure if Car Craft found a location that would allow drag racing then it would maybe move to that location but then you have liability concerns if some idiot wrecks there car going down the track and gets hurt. I saw the burn out contest last year but I guess the year before some guy drove his car right up on the concrete barrier that surrounds the cars during the burnout contest. I would have loved to see that. those guys really beat on there cars for the burnout contest. I would do it once just so my wife could take pics then if I won my round I would back out of it and say something is wrong with my car. once would be enough for me lol. alot of breakage last year. I have almost all of it on video from last year.

 

Our group is going to have quite a few cars in the "show". Hopefully it won't be as hot this year as it was last... man.

 

last year was pretty hot but for whatever reason this show always lands on a hot dry wkend. so bring money for water guys!!!

 

Car Craft is a great show, I'll be there this year in my friend's El Camino. Definitely go if you haven't been there before.

There is also going to be an all GM car/truck show at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds on June 9th.

 

I didn't know about the June 9th show. guys drive around the fairgrounds all day as well as park their cars like at the Car Craft show???who is holding this show??anyone have a phone number to register at that show on june 9th.
