Formula only show this weekend
This is the 1st show so I'm not sure how the turnout will be but there may be 4-5 3rdgen formulas going from my town alone.

That's like a BBQ festival that only serves chicken.

Re: Formula only show this weekend
I'm sure it won't be a big show or ever be a big show, just a few formula owners that never get any respect at any other shows.. ;-)
The idea originated on FB by someone. It may even open up to the local racetrack next yr..

I agree, a all 3rdgen show would be cool buuuut It's not my show.

Re: Formula only show this weekend
I think that’s cool... I barely see Thirdgen Formulas around.. I see a handful of IROCs but I’ve only seen 2 Thirdgen Formulas at shows between Boston and New Hampshire..
If anything have a parking section for just the Formulas and an area for other show cars..
The Corvette Club Cruise Night I go to has the first two rows with signs saying “Corvette Parking Only” and a sign in-front of the rest of the parking lot that says “Other Show Cars”... Not a huge turnout but some of the guys have non-vette friends that want to bring their cars...
The Camaro Club I’m in has some Mopar and even an M3 because they like the people.. They let me park my Vette with them at Cruise ins too... It’s hard not to be inclusive in this hobby..
It also helps others appreciate the cars when people can say, “those Formula guys have a good show there..”

Nothing like running your best time of the day but the guy next to you beats you by 3 car lengths...

Re: Formula only show this weekend
I have considered setting up a west-coast sister event for this. I do not know enough local owners, though.

Re: Formula only show this weekend
I love the 91-92 Formulas actually better than the Trans-ams those 2 years. Yep, I remember them being very fast! Lot less weight there I suppose. Take some good pics of this show Tony.
