Hello everyone. First off I am new here and this my first of many posts here. I PROUDLY own an 85 Camaro SC. I haven't had much ridiing time due to the winter months. Well anyway I wondering if any of you are from the upstate NY area of Binghamton?? Just asking. Keep Driven!!!! LONG LIVE THIRD-GENS!!!!

 

hi im v6camaroman. i got a 87 firebird 2.8 im from dansville ny. its kinda close to binghamton. you can cheek out my car in my signature

 

How's it goin. Very nice ride! Where exactly is Dansville? Sounds familiar?! Anyway, I don't have that many mods...yet. I do however have a brand new Edelbrock 650 CFM carb, Edelbrock polished intake, Accel 8.5 MM wires.

On the wish list: exhaust, B&M Shifter, Crane Cam w/lifters. And if I can convince my wife, a 350 instead of the 305 that is in there now. Later!

 

thanks. dansville is about 52 miles south of rochester ny

 

Im from buffalo, and i know a kid from dansville. Josh Wideman ring a bell?..he owns a shoe and card store

 

Binghampton is considered upstate now????

I apparently have been mislead, I thought Watertown, NY was upstate....... it is a hour north of Syracuse

ah, oh well......

 

I'm 'upstate' in the mid-hudson valley. Was in Binghamton / Endicott area a couple years ago for some work related to my job (IBM).

 

Middletown here,about an hour north of the city.

 

Actually it is considered the "Southern Teir" of NY. If you think about it, Watertown is the exact distance to Syracuse as Binghamton; just going the other way.

 

well maybe we'll meet up for the nationals
that was some madness this past year on the BLVD!!!!!!

 

I was just going to binghamton university this past semester... the university and I had a difference of academic opinions... so I'm back in Ithaca chillin. I didn't notice many camaros or firebirds while I cruised "the strip" mostly imports and mustangs. Anyway, welcome to the board, maybe I'll see you around on one of my trips down that way.

 

BU eh!!?? Cool ride by the way. I work at AIG in the plaza near BU. Yes, unfortunately there are ALOT of imports and mustangs (newer ones-2000 up). If your down this way again on a Saturday in the spring or summer, go to the Home Depot. That is where all the "muscle" hangs out. I have the red Camaro with the Superman designs on the car. See ya round

 

AIG eh? That's my insurance company... I've had to go there a couple times to get insurance cards... I'll have to come down there some time... bring my friend along with the '85 Mustang GT... and my car and have ourselves a Domestic/V8 fest...

 

Sounds cool! I normally work third shift, 11pm-7am, except Saturdays when I work 3pm-11pm. I work the front desk-security. I'll have to make sure I have my Camaro with me. You will some of the "other cars" here Anyway just drop me an email before you head down so I can make sure I have my Camaro in the lot.

 

I'm 45 minutes east of Syracuse but drive down I 390 thru Dansville on my way to Alfred, NY where my parents live. My brother says there's a strip in Livingston county (Empire drags??) so I'll probably go there this summer for some runs.

 

hey guys im from rochester.considered western NY,but i figured i'd pop in here and see what you guys were up to.jeff 91z28 the track you are talking about is New York International Raceway Park,known as NYIRP.its about 45 minutes away from me.ill be heading down there alot this year,along with a few other buds with f bodies ranging from 2nd gen to 4th gen.got any pics of your car?im gonna try and make rounds at the track and see if i can find anyone from the boards.ill post a pic of my crew that goes down there in a few.later.

 

hey 91rsrider,
i live in webster, thats right next to you. all my buds with f bods are heading up to the track in the summer so maybe we'll see ya up there

 

I go to school in Schenectady. I'm only about 45 minutes from Leb. Valley

 

hey guys, im from syracuse...there is a lot going on here onc the weather gets better.

if anyone has ever been up to the syracuse area, and knows about "the boulevard" you will know what i am talking about.

it gets INSANE up here around the time of the Syracuse Nationals street rod show at the Fairgrounds.

if anyone is ever in the area let me know.

Z28 Boy

I am north of you in Watertown. I know the Blvd well and the when the Nationals were here it was insane!!! Shoot me an email maybe we'll get together sometime. jturcott@twcny.rr.com

oh and check out my lame excuse for a webpage......
http://www.sphosting.com/jays91z28/

 

91RS, my brother and I should be down that way a couple of times this year. I just got back from a shop in Tonawanda that's gonna install my D1SC and dyno the car for me. I can't wait to make some passes down the track. Here's a pic so you can find me.



site is listed too

 

I know where watertown... that is near Chamount Lake right? My girlfriend has a summer house up there... it's very quiet

As far as 'upstate' goes, anything north of Westchester is upstate, right??

 

When is the Syracuse Nationals? Let me know so I can make arrangements to get there! As far as I know, you're right about anything being north of Weschester. That's what I have been told by people from "The City"!???

 

The nationals are usually around the 20th of July. I started seeing billboards for it around May I think. Great time on the Blvd. Much more exciting then walking around the fairgrounds all day long IMHO. I'll do it again, but still, there isn't a dyno, drag racing, or anything. Just a bunch of nice, parked cars for you to drool over. It would be more exciting to see a dyno shootout IMHO.

 

Puncuation inside quotes... please remember

i.e.. "The City!????"

:lala:

 

Oswego N.Y. here and anytime you guys want to meet up just give me a shout...

 

Just wondering how much weight you guys add to your rear end if you HAVE to drive it in the winter? Oh yeah, nice ride RSrider!!!

 

I'm not sure... what is the curb weight of a ford probe or a dodge dakota 4x4????

I couldnt drive my 3rd gen in the snow.... we just get too much of it to try honestly........

 

I TRIED it once!! With about 3" on the ground. I got about 20 ft and said NO WAY! Thank *** for my wife's Dodge Neon!! It was just a quick question

 

I'm from Utica, good to see there are some local people on this board. I've been lurking around this site for a while but this is my first post. This site is GREAT I'm just getting back into the racing/performance scene, and this site has really helped me "catch up".

Later,
Brian

 

I'm just up the road from you. Live in Guilford?!, work in Norwich. I usually hit Walmart on tuesday nights when they do the cruise-in.

This is my first post here, usually hit the PROM and TPI boards heavy. Thought I would see what the local boys are up to.

Cheers!

 

Cool. Is that the Wally-Mart in Norwich or Vestal?

 

Norwich. I think they start up in early June every tuesday. I will be at the Norwich car show coming up Memorial weekend. Muscle cars on sat, antiquers on sunday. It's a big one!!

 

Sounds cool. I might go on up there and check it out. If you ever see a red Camaro with a "Superman Theme" driving around, say hi, it's me.

 

Wow, there is a lot of talk about Wal-Mart on this board. I have never even seen a wal mart. Are there a lot good car things there???

 

Depends. The store is a department store of sorts. Their auto section is really no different then say a KMart or Target, just bigger. They really don't have anything for "performance" but they do carry cleaning stuff, tools, etc. Wal-Mart is mentioned here because we "upstaters" use it a "landmark".

 

HOWDY! - Im currently in So. Calif., but we are moving BACK to Binghamton around the end of April. One of the many reasons is because its HOME, and its too f*ckin crowded out here.

Anyway, i JUST got into LEGAL drag racing over the last 2 yrs [im 38]. I'd bought an '84 2.8L Camaro Berlinetta with a bent rearend for 900$. A couple years later and a FEW thousand dollars, coutless hours in my buddy's garage and a few trips to the local drag strips and i got a bad-*** Chevy. I took the V6 to the strip and ran a 19.46 @ 70 mph, after swapping the V6 for a 377ci, my last trip gave me a [ 1/8th mile] 8.25 @ 89mph [Irwindale track], at Fontana's 1/4 mi. i got a 12.83 @ 108.

This has all been on stock V6 suspension, 2.73 rearend gears, and 50$ General radial tires. Over this last weekend i've FINALLY installed sub-frame connectors, driveshaft loop and adjustable torque-arm [S&W], also was using a buddies carb off his 396ci motor, got mine installed now, 810 cfm Holley from The Carb Shop. Will be going back to Irwindale tomorrow night, hope to get in the 7's! Also got my Lakewood trailing arms and Hotchkis Panhard bar from the UPS man this week, but havent put those on yet.

Lots of pics and info on my site - check it out!

 

Very Nice ride. The First Gens are my first choice, but they are very hard to find around here (decent ones anyway). Let me know when get back here. I would love to see your car. The main "hangout" is the Home Depot in Johnson City. People meet there on Saturdays. Just thought I would throw that out to ya!

 

I will be making the trip down from Oswego to Binghamton on saturday to race at northgate racing.Any body that wants to hook up for a beer or two just let me know.I will be in the area from about 930 am untill ?...
