Thanks to some prodding from other people looks like there will be a Thirdgen Nationals '05.

I'm not going to be as involved this year, and ES87Iroc is going to be in charge of a lot of the planning. Most likely it will be end of May (not 100% sure yet) more details to come

It's going to be in MD again (sorry for those out west) but no matter where it is, there will be people that aren't happy with it.

Most likely it will be in the surroudning areas of Baltimore, MD.


For those that attended '03 it was a blast and I had so much fun. This year, there won't be as many activities most likely (such as vendors) but this is in an attempt to keep the cost as low as possible or none at all.

 

Thanks again Mark.

Stay tuned folks, the details will be coming soon once we get approval for the proposed dates and locations!

 

As soon as you set a date let me know ASAP so I can take vacation days to attend.

Sweet!! I'm gonna be in BMW school in MD, about 10 mins south of Baltimore!!! Count me in fo sho!!

 

Yeaaaaaah boy!!!!!!!! I can't wait until this summer.

 

erik, once we get the date and location i'll send out an email to those i had on my contact list for '03 which is well over 300

 

May....ewwwww...doubt if I can make it, we refuel one of the reactors in that month and I'm locked in to work for 8 weeks straight, no vacation.

Glad to assist with the shirts again but I will need a DEFINITE NUMBER of shirts to order, had a hell of a time getting rid of all of them in '03.

Hope you all have fun!

Ed

 

Sounds like a plan - That's close enough for me to make it to

 

hmmm, maybe i'll crash the party with the SS

 

I'll be there along with my girlfriend Erin like back in 03.

 

Just in case you guys are looking for a site I have a few in mind. There is a popular hot rod hang out in harford county called the Big M drive in . They usually have at least one car show there a week. It is a little low tech though.
Also every friday night in churchville off rt 22 there is a huge gathering of roughly 75-120 cars just to hang out. plus they do have shows there on some weekends. It works out great. They are in a huge closed department stores parking lot that is also attached to a roy rogers. It all asphault with plenty of lighting for night gatherings. Right on a main drag.

Thought I could help

 

hrm....I havent been on here in a long time, and man...03 Nats was pretty damn cool! Ill see who I can round up from NJFBOA and head on down. I will deffinatly need to know some dates asap.

 

Why May? Can't you at least give anyone from the West Coast a chance? Wait until College is out so anyone with more then a day drive isn't missing Thur-Fri classes.

Glad to see there will be a 05.

 

I totally understand, as that would be optimal. but hopefully, come June I'll be in Dallas for an internship.

don't most colleges get out mid may?

 

Depends on quarter or Semester, I think schools are split about 50/50 on that.

However, that is reason, Mark, for it to be in May

 

I vote May. I have way too much other stuff with vacations and wedding in June and July.

 

hey mark . thanks again for helpin us get this thing rollin again, i'm gonna try to help out as much as i can with this. and you did a great job on the 03 nats so any input is greatly appreciated.

 

Hi All,
I'm working in MD now and will bringing my 82 bird up here in the spring. Most likly I will be coming to this event, I hope old guys are allowed.

 

Who you callin' old????



I push for June...late part of June.

Ed

 

well, my internship is may31-aug12 just waitin to hear back from Erik about what time in may

 

Im gonna go... I live in Massachusetts but my uncle lives in VA and he works in MD... So im gonna stay there for couples days and meet all u guys... The thing, should i bring Camaro with 14k org miles?? Or just go with out it?

 

Are you kidding? Bring it!

 

erik, check your PM's

 

I wish I could really get to know some of you guys and see your cars in person....but until it gets around to the midwest...I'll be stuck in Indiana

 

It looks like the Nationals will always be on the east coast that's why we have Thirdgen Fest in the Midwest.

 

I would like to come, but May is no good. Kids in school, Gathering IX in Atlanta on memorial day weekend, and a HS Graduation to attend.

I vote June/July.......

 

hopefully a date is set soon, so that i can switch my vac. time if need be, and so i can cram to get the front end put back together.

 

any exact date yet? Hopefully my engine will be done by mid-late may, dont know if i got the vac time at work, but we'll see.

 

see the thread below this

 

I will probably come again. My car looks way better now to. Not much more performance wise though.

 

Figured I would give this post a nudge for those that have subscriptions to it, the dates and details are all set and it's about a month away, hope to see some of you guys there!

 

So when is it? I'm missing something there....

Any questions/comments/etc just PM me.

Thanks and I hope to see ya there!

 

I will try my best to make it out !! I am trying to buy a 91 TA right now if that does not work out I will have to bring the GN

 

Will there be a stock class there?? B/C i have an 84 z28 with 23,000 original miles...I've been waiting for a camaro show!

 

Yea id like to come down with my car however i have 2 questions....

Id be only be able to come on the 24th so is everyone staying that night, like how long is the thing at the park going to last. My main concern being that im only 16 so it might be hard for me to get a room to stay at.

Fill me in...

 

Not sure but we were there until dark ( I belive thats the park rule) we almost did not make it out last time, we had to push a formula about 2 miles remember that Eric good times !! I will bring a soft cloth tow strap incase this year. I will have the GN it appears. So we will have plenty of POWER !!!
Sorry cannot make the track date plans already and I don't need t may people knowing how fast the GN is

 

hmmmmmmm i'll know better after this weekend!

 

The 23rd I have some grudge matches to settle at MIR w/ EFA members. The GTA gets no respect from 4thgens, so I shall layeth the smackage down. But I might be able to make the 24th. Is that just a show and cookout?

 

You got it!

 

There is a camaro class/firebird class/non thirdgen class. No sub classes this year, possibly in the future though if there is enough interest.

 

Sweet! Hopefully we will not have to push any cars uphill for two miles. At least it was cheap entertainment. LoL

 

I hit you back on PM, lemme know if you need anything else!

 

tgo events are allways memerable..... that one i sure remembered ... i'll probably have my old truck up there this year but i don't wanna have to tow anyone,
