Gateway is way too expensive. The NMCA, NSCA and the NMRA are not going there this year because they jacked the price so much.

id definetly like to get a camaro gathering together here in the midwest it would be a sweet idea i know tons of third geners that would love to get together maybe we could hold it in indiana or somewhere

A midwest gathering would be cool, but there are lots of big regonal shows and stuff that could kinda already be considered midwest gatherings. Im talking about a country wide gathering. Like all 50 states. I thik that Gateway was being considered because it is pretty much in the middle of the country and its a big, nice track. obviously this will take a lot of cash and people too pull off. What about the possibilty of sponsership of the event. Like super chevy always has a big main sponser like Year One of something. How about Next Generation (part of year one) or a magazine, like McMullen/Argus who puts out Super Chevy and GM High Tech Performance. magazine coverage of the event is almost garunteed if it gets serious. Tell everyone you know on the boards to check out this post. Lets get this thing rolling!

 

I am always up for a thirdgen gathering. I think it would be much easier to set up if it were just a midwest gathering. Even though a national one would be cool. Between all of the people who live in the midwest on this board plus all the thirdgenners from mfba we could aways have a decent size midwest gathering.

Just tell me when and where and i'll be there.

 

"oh, my name is jill, im gona sell my thirdgen cause im slower then kyle's. I got to go buy a 4th gen to beat him even though 4th gens are slower" hahahahahahaha just kidding small block

 

You wait. I'll win that bet yet. you'll be coughing on my exhaust fumes in no time baby :Þ

 

Ya i'll be coughing alright, on that poorly tuned CARBED motor your gona be running. TPI is the way to go there babe

 

Sounds good, but have it in IL cause I'm 16 and don't wanna drive to Minnesota for it.

 

I'm in Florida and would caravan my *** over to the mid-west anytime for a gathering like the potential this one could possibly have

 

See thats what im talking about. I think we should ahve a whole forum for this topic so that it goes huge.

 

Say when, and I'll drop whatever and zip on over! If my car can make it, I can make it. MY two cents.

This is a kick a$$ idea! You couldn't keep me away from a gathering like this. A nat'l gathering would be awesome, but a midwest one would be easier to organize. Either way, I'm there!

 

I would be there in a heartbeat or as long as it would take to get there driving my TA ok two heartbeats.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not another convert.

ok i would totally be into this, but if it is just going to be a mid-west gathering we have to first pick a place to go. then rent it out. i know that with gateway you have to reserve that track like almost a year in advance and pay upfront. so that meas a lot of people would have to commit to this idea. oh and BTW, can we wait a few years i want to get my project done first.

Dont worry Velocity, I got her under control hahahaha. Shes nothing to worry about

89, better hurry up man, we can't wait forever. If we get a national gathering going, id like to make it a yearly or bi-yearly event. Make it like a Super Chevy kinda thing or like The Bloomington vette show or something. maybe move it to a different track each year or something. I think that this website is definitly the way to set this up. Almost everyone on the web that is into 3rd gens is here. I think we need to make a whole new forum for this topic though. Anyone else second that?

 

i am going to take my time thank you

 

89, ok bro, take your time. the longer it takes you to finish, the higher up i stay in the fastest 3rd gen catagory at MFBA hehehehe man, im me next time your on, i got some cool stuff going down with my car. Looks like ill be breaking the 400hp mark and getting close to 480ft/lbs. this summer. that should let me take out those damn annoying LS1's

 

lol nothing to worry about?????
i'm a mean little redhead...care to find out?

 

Redhead? hehehe, i havent seen any red hair. Plus, i already think i know how mean you can be but hey, surprise me hahaha

 

It's red...naturally hehe...and only two people have seen how mean i can truely be..if you aren't careful kyle you'll be the third

 

well, i am at 13.1 now and if i keep the blower til spring and get some more runs....that number will be a 12.5 at least. so i would get cracking.... hahahah

 

in indiana there is a a speedway called Route 41 speedway its got a 1/4 mile and some other crap there i know a guy that could pull a few strings and we can get a gathering goin on there we can race and **** around there for a weekend or so it wood be pretty cool if anyone wants to get this together give me an email @ scottiewitdabody@aol.com

 

yup, i know exactly what you are talking about. my club www.mfba.org rents out that track all the time for the day, usually on a saturday morning from 9-4. cost is usually only like $20-$25 dollars and that includes you for the day and any spectators you want to bring. we are actually thinking about renting out that track every month this year.

 

every month?!? that's crazy

 

considering the amount of time and effort it'd take i doubt if you see a true national gathering this year. macgyver has one planned for the week end of june 29 this year. it'll be big ,it'll have something for everyone. check it out and make plans now www.nethirdgen.org

Hey 89, i thought they were gona do a rental 2 times a month this year. Ah well, ill probably only get time to actually go once a month. I hope to spend a lot of time at Rt.66 this summer though god i love that track.

ya route 41 sounds cool so if anybody is down to go will have to arrange it early so we can have it for a day without any hassles
anybody wanna pick a weekend the only other thing is we have to make sure all the people that wanna go can throw down money and be there for sure how many of you think u would wanna do this?
