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.

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?

out of curiosity please tell me there isn't an age limit to get in cause i live in griffith IN so its not that long a drive, btw i'm 16, and would like to put my car in a show with its own kind along with with the one i go to in crown point (its a small show) really look forward to it

thanks tim

No, there is no age limit.

Google maps says 13 hours for me so i'm afraid i probably won't make it.

i plan on cummin out.

any place to park a trailer. im proof of murphys law wat can go wrong will so i like to tow to have a way home lol.

Yep, we've got room for some trailers.

oh man denny, you have room for trailers?!?!?!.....i think this year i'll trailer mine

Well, we've got room for some trailers but not YOUR trailer.

Haven't you trailerd yours every year? Isn't your car street legal?

i just assume have a way home if im gunna screw around. only time i drove it to the track this year i broke.

should be able to go, i'm 99.999% sure. xD this is something I definately can't wait for its gonna be great.

hope to see you guys there, tim

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

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

yea man thats cool.

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

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.


Dave

alright sounds good man

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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.

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

Is there a swap meet at the meet?

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.

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.

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...

Hey Denny
Should I bring my own ramps this year so that I can get in and out of your yard?

man i wanted to come out to this .. but i will be just arriving home from deals gap that day .. no way i could get over there.... next year maybe

Just put more air in your tires and you'll be fine!!!

It's called a plane!


Look forward to meeting you next year then. Have fun at the gap. It's a great place.

depending what's going on i ight be there this yr

WOOHOO! Just saw this and realized I'm less than 2 hours away. Assuming nothing weird work related I will definitely come out!

I think i might actually make it for the first time this year,ive wanted to go the last 3 years but something always comes up.

there is no reason i shouldnt be able to be there. and hopefully ill have my sound system done. but unfortunately, until i graduate i wont have the money to do much else, im looking forward to seeing everyones third gens.... ill have to try to remember to bring an extra pair of pants.......

Trying to pick up a 87 Z. Hope this owner stops playing hard to get so I have something to come up there with. Cuz if I dont , looks like Im riding bitch with sakattack28

unfortunately... i cant make it this year though im planning lots of work for the summer on my 85 t/a and ill be there next year, and maybe il make my brother come out with his 84 t/a.

DENNY,IM 99 % SURE ILL BE ATTENDING MY FIRST 3RD GEN FEST THIS YEAR. IREAD THE POSTING AND SAW ONLY 3RD GENS ALLOWED.IS THAT FOR REAL?I MEAN ROCK SOLID? ID LIKE NOTHING BETTER TO SEE A LOT FULL OF THIRD GENS. NO 4TH GENS OR ANY OTHER CARS. LET THEM HOLD THEIR OWN EVENT.NO OFFENSE TO A 4TH GEN BUT ITS CALLED 3RD GENFEST NOT 3RDAND 4TH GEN FEST.

we park all the tow vehicles(aka my suburban and trailer) and all those non-3rd gen cars in the back.

Ford's go on the shoulder of the road.
