2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
The 2009 East Coast F-body Nationals will be held at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ on Sunday, August 9th.

While the action on the track and show field will be all about GM's pony car platform, everyone is welcome. As with all of our great NJFBOA events it is open to all owners, friends, and fans of the F-body platform.

I'll be there. Might have the 84, might not. Will have to see. The nats are roughly 30 minutes from me.

Hope you can make it out if even your car isn't ready. It's a really good time.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
Oh I will probably be there. The car would probably be there if I got it running and legal. Its a short drive through the country for me so its not that bad. I will be there but don't bet on seeing an original (except for the motor) 1984 TA with the paint falling off. I have been trying to get it running since I put the motor in it, with no luck. I am in my final year of school and will see what I can do to put the TA back on the road when I get out in May.
I am not currently a member of the site. I've been to it though. Maybe sometime later today or this week I will join up.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
I doubt you would have any trouble getting to Island from Andover without getting in any trouble. Street legal or not, it is only a few miles on 46 and I have never seen the Hackettstown police bother anyone who didn't earn the privilege. 
Hope you can make it.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
hmmm, wide open exhaust, a 7 year old inspection sticker, no registration, no insurance, and the likely speeding ticket to go along with that.....lets see...that is about 750 dollars in fines. And I am a broke college student. 
Anyway, most likely if I do bring it it will be legal. Nevertheless, I will be there, Trans Am or no Trans Am.
I am sure you noticed....I joined up with the NJFBOA.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
Glad to see you got signed up. Several of us will most likely be staying at a hotel along the way, maybe if you blend in with us they won't notice so much. lol
Start spreading the word. The 2009 East Coast Nats are gonna be a weekend to remember.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
There is a 1971 (don't think its a 72) Trans Am White with a Blue Stripe that is a common sight at a transmission shop called Byram Transmission. It has to be a local car. I was wondering if he was on the boards over at njfboa. License Plate is a memorable one. It says FASMOFO. I was wondering if he was among those who show up at those nats. If the car is not known I will drop him a line if I see him. (the car at least LOL.)

Definately going to try and make it again this year. Last year was fun despite the rain.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
If I hear of any other local f body owners I will let them know. Speaking of cars local to me...I have a question about one...

Don't think I know that car, but if you post up about it in the North Jersey region on the NJFBOA forum odds are someone will know it.
You shoudl stop over there one day and tell him about the club and event. We can always use more classics, especially early 2nd gen birds. They are sexy as hell.
Dave, you better be there!!!!

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
In case you guys didn't notice on NJFBOA or elsewhere I got the TA running. Picking up the rims with new tires from the tire shop today, if I can get my plates and exhaust done by state fair week, and I feel the car can make it to Island I'll have it on the field. Paint is shot, interior needs to be redone, and had to do the engine swap but other than all that, the car is an original survivor with only maintenance and some drivetrain repair work done. It will be on the show field if they let me on. LOL.

Re: 2009 East Coast F-Body Nationals
Go for the sympathy vote, or most improved. That's what I had planned once upon a time for my 88 TA.
Regardless of whether you show it or not, bring it to the show. It's enough of an excuse just to get out and drive.
