Thirdgen Ranch

We just added a lot of Thirdgen Fest '10 info in a couple "sticky" threads on this board so you can find most of the information you need there. Most info will be posted as it becomes available.

I would like to try to make it but i have alot of work to go on my mine before it will be ready, i'm finally starting to put my engine back together. i just need to order an clutch disc pressure plate throw out bearing. (btw if any1 knows a good place to order 1 id like to hear it). Fix my steering column, new exhaust, headers out. and i need to reinforce the frame. and of course body work. but if all goes well would love to be there.

DomesticCheese

I'll definitely be coming most likely.

Although if my firebird sells I may be coming thirdgenless in my talon :/

Either way I hope to be there?

Thirdgen Ranch

ziggy89

If you go i might have to caravan along since i'm also in Davenport.

marekdennhardt

I'm going to plan on coming! Straight from Canada eh

ziggy89

yea man thats cool.

just wondering your profile says you like 60* v6's. wat else are you currently running?

DeathStarr89

iTrader: (1)

The Camaro has a mild 327 in it right now but It's getting pulled out next month. I have a 320HP/300TQ V6 that i built for my old Z24 cavalier that's going in it. It's just a toy to mess around with, far from a daily driver.

When i get it running we'll have to meet up.

alright sounds good man

leek157

I'm definitely coming this year, hopefully I can actually drive my thirdgen

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

awe shucks.....

street legal, plated, insured.... sure, something i want to drive around an hour in stop and go traffic.....well Besides I get double the mpg trailering it compared to driving it. So

ThreeOhFive

Can we really do burnouts in the street? Don't your neighbors get pissed?! I won't have my Camaro but maybe if I rev my 2.0 Protege up to 6k and slam it into drive I could chirp the tires

It would be a good race with any tbi cars

Goonv8

Such a shame as we planning to ship our Camaro back across from the UK and drive it across the states this summer but we're looking at August! Reckon I could have got a prize for the furthest travelled!

I dont have any excuses this year

mister_hudson

I seriously doubt that my F-Body will be in good enough condition to bring up by then... I will do my best to make it anyways - with or without my Camaro! I missed it last year due to a deployment

I would be very interested in seeing some of these beauties up close and possibly getting a few ideas to incorporate into mine...

devilish1

What do you know I get one weekend off a month and I'm off the 29th. Now we need a daily driver class. I'll even leave the snow tires on to prove it's worth. Hate to park my DD in with all the pretty cars

racing geek

Based on last year, it seemed the attitude was that if it was a third gen F-body, it was worthy of being on display. They are all unique in their own way and they all have a story to tell. Some may look at rust and run the other way, while others may look at it and think it gives to the vehicle some character and realize it must have been part of some good stories.

Either way, it's better to show up in a third gen then any other car.

formula forever

i will be coming again this year. But first I need a new 700r4 trans mine is shot right now. but i can't wait.

People definitely don't have to worry that their car isn't "good enough" to be here. There's plenty of daily driver's and project cars here every year as well. Thirdgen Fest is really more of an "event" than a "show". This is a fun, laid back event and all thirdgens are welcome.

Also, we try to keep cars together with others in similar condition so if you have a project car or daily driver that needs some work you don't have to be worried about getting put next to some of the nicest cars there.

I remember several years ago I brought my car with no doors, hatch, fenders, front or rear bumpers, etc. Even took home a trophy too. Car was a lot faster with all that weight reduction though

Burn outs.... Hmmm... Don't know if they are allowed...

yea, i think last year the neighbors might have thought the fields were on fire. well.....with all the smoke i produced.

wesley_pontiac

i just recently got a third gen and hope to have it better running condition to mak it cuz this sounds lik a blast!!!!!!

tswan1955

Is there a swap meet at the meet?

xpndbl3

iTrader: (5)

some people have brought parts to sell, but since the owner of thirdgen ranch runs this, whatever parts you could possibly want he should have at a good price as well.

ThreeOhFive

I wonder if the road is wide enough for a race! I'd like to take you (Steve) on in my 15 second LO3 hahaha.

Well due to my current loss of employment, I won't be going anywhere this year for vacation. So I will most likely be showing up for the event. I have been wanting to go for several years anyway.

racing geek

iTrader: (5)

Well that us both good and bad. Really though, sucks that you lost your job. I've been thinking about starting in an apprenticeship program but I wonder if any companies would even want to take part in that with the economy the way it is...

firbster

Thirdgen Ranch
