:bounce: I'm in!! :bounce:

This is a GREAT show, nothing but FoMoCo, and lots of 'em (over 150 cars the last time I attended).

I've got it on my calendar, suggest if we go as a group, we get there early. Two years ago we ended up having to park in overflow, all the choice spots were gone by 9:00 am. Maybe want to consider an over-nighter (party on Friday night, hmmmmmmm?;))

Sooooooo, 03mmmonroe, Marauderman, new guys, anybody else, what say?

[DOOM]

I'll see what I can do.

[SC Cheesehead]

I'll see what I can do.

Jake, you'd love this show! Everything from Model T's to Marauders, and bling is a good thing!

Hey, if you make the trip, I'll buy the ribs the Friday evening before the show, how's that?

[vonirkinshtine]

I wonder if I can get my interior swapped by then? Hmmmmm. I need to get cracking!

Gee...If I don't make this--y'all might throw me out...........So who will meet me there???????

[fastblackmerc]

Just made reservations at the host hotel. Will be arriving early afternoon on 4/24 so I can do some detailing. Maybe we should meet somewhere so we all can park together. Looks like we will be in class "K".

Jim,

Is there a special FOAC rate in effect at the hotel?

Also, after looking at the classes, I'm wondering if we'd be in class "U"?

03mmmonroe's gonna be at the Z-Max, we'll go see him after the show.

[vonirkinshtine]

lame...he can't drive 10 miles to Young? He doesn't even need to make any turns! Just get on 29 from the track, and go till you hit Young Ford.

I believe 03mmmonroe's going to be racing in Pinks.....

Russ

[Marauderman]

Russ

so.........the race is against others ....so you can move forward....and then race another--to either win his car or give up yours....is that correct?.......Is that what your doing Russ?

[vonirkinshtine]

no...I believe Pinks All Out is just for cash.

[SC Cheesehead]

I like this format much better, less :bs: than Pinks.

Hey, what's the latest on this? I'm planning to drive up Friday evening, will prolly get a hotel somewhere near Concord.

Do we want to get together Friday evening, and if so, where and when?

Also, do we want to meet up and convoy over to the show on Sat. a.m.?

I'm gonna register and make my reservations this week, so let me know ASAP.

I have reservations at the host hotel for Friday night. Will be getting in early Friday afernoon so I can wash & detail.

"Hampton Inn Charlotte - University Place Hotel on North Tryon Street will be serving as our guest hotel for the 2009 FOAC Blue Oval Classic."

I'd call and ask if they have a "show" rate.

[SC Cheesehead]

I made reservations just down the street at the Towne Place Suites.

I'll prolly roll in around 7:00 pm or so. How's about we plan for :food: and :drink: at QS&L Friday evening?

Tom, others, waddaya think?

Sounds good. How did the HID install go?

[03mmmonroe]

Sounds good. How did the HID install go?

The install went good. Found out the H1 fog the only way to get socket was with the light. So cut once and it worked out good. I have a little fog in right front when temp change so will have to dry when humidity is lower.

Give me a call on Friday if you no what you are doing. I think I will be up at pinks for test and tune on Friday to get ready for Sat event.

I think dinner Friday at QS&L is a great idea! Let me know where we're meeting and when for saturday morning. I wish I had my garage cleared out so I could wash and detail all day friday then put 'er away.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY HOUSE TO BE BUILT!!!! ARGH!

Oh yeah, BTW...I'm becoming a homeowner :-)

Cool, QS&L, 7:30pm, Friday night.

Done!

[SC Cheesehead]

Hey guys,

Has some communications with Pat from FOAC, he's suggesting we arrive at site by 7:30 - 7:45 am on Saturday morning, so we'll need to plan logistics when we get together at the QS&L.

CLT guys, are there any car washes up near University Ridge that we can use either Friday evening or Sat. morning?

[Marauderman]

Hope its ok to register when I get there Sat and pay then----.....

[SC Cheesehead]

Hope its ok to register when I get there Sat and pay then----.....

Yup, forgot to mention that. Sat. registration and payment is okay, but we'll want to get there before 8:00 am to get a good spot as well as get situated next to each other.

[Marauderman]

[SC Cheesehead]

Tom,

Do you know if there's a car wash up near the dealership, or up near the Hampton Inn?

[vonirkinshtine]

There is one just a block down from the dealership (a self-serve place). There's also an autobell a block up from the dealership.

I'll be doing my car friday afternoon at my apartment complex. If someone wanted to join me I would appreciate the company :banana2:

Hey Yall--

If you go back and check my story in the storyboard 4-12-09 about visiting Holman and Moody--well, Lee Holman is scheduled to be there at the show with that Fairlane in one of the pics I showed along with those GT-40"s--and uh,,,I already got his graft and post pic ---but hes suppose to be there according to the web announcement by fastblackmerc..

[vonirkinshtine]

When and where?

My apartment complex off Harris Blvd. It's pretty simple, they've got a couple of hose-reels in a carport and a pay-as-you-go vacume, but I'll have my mini-shop vac with me.

I'll have a couple of buckets with some good car was soap and some ShamWOWs for drying, lol.

I'm sure most of you guys will bring your own detailing stuff anyways, so maybe throw a wash mit in there (and your own soap if you're really picky) and you should be good to go.

Post up here and tell me if your interesting in washing cars with me friday and I'll PM you with my exact address.

*edit* oh right...when...Well, I get off work at 11am. I'll be back at my apartment around 11:30...eat some lunch...grab my stuff...I'll probably start washing around 1pm. So whoever wants to meet me, if you want to be at my place around 1pm, that would work.
