Well,
Since Manny wrote that both of us are planning this event, I may as well say that both Lisa and me will be going!
By the way, if any fourth gens (Ah, like George Lara and his SS) want to go, they are invited as well!
So........................who else is in????

Later,

George

Not a chance. It'll at least be getting a 350, upgraded transmission, disc brakes, and some real gears in the back.

I should be able to make it there, if I can find out how to fix my battery drain problem.

And with gas prices the way they are, and my paycheck at a minimum, I'm not so sure...

Hi!
I'll probably be with my girlfriend (she's not sure she wants to take 2 cars, as she wants to video everything).
Check with Manny or Alex (82FirebirdTA)!

Hope you can make it,

Ok let me make sure on driving directions
if I'm comming on 91 W then
1- Go to I-110 S toward SAN PEDRO.
2- Take the SEPULVEDA BLVD exit then turn RIGHT
3- Turn LEFT onto VERMONT AVE.
4- Turn RIGHT onto LOMITA BLVD.
5- Turn LEFT onto CRENSHAW BLVD.
is this correct?
by the way Mr. TurboTA you got PM

Hi Z28 DUDE!
