     I plan on being there with two of my chargers.  This year seems to have passed me by; I've only been down the track one day up at Epping this season.

I wonder if I can talk my 6 year old daughter into skipping her friend's birthday party & going to the track? 

[dart3404]

       I plan on being there with two of my chargers.   This year seems to have passed me by; I've only been down the track one day up at Epping this season.

Are you going to race one and show the other?

The Dart is almost ready. Just have to clean it and put on the slicks tomorrow.
See you all there.

     I'm going to attempt to run the 500 in the street tire class and the R/T in the slick tire class; and enter the 500 in the show.

[dart3404]

I can't wait to see that beauty on the track. 
I'm running the Dart in the street tire class also. Sounds like you will have a busy day. See you tomorrow.

[BrianShaughnessy]

See everybody in the morning!     Have a safe trip!   

[calchargerRT]

Wish I could, grew up in Ballston Spa NY but now in Southern Cal, how big is the show now?

[73Charger]

I'll be there, but not with my Charger since I have had too many problems with it over the last few days, and couldnt get parts in time.
I'm hoping to find some parts there.

Ian

Wow ballston spa, im in ballston lake

[calchargerRT]

I miss upstate Ny at times but not the weather! Nothing like those old back country roads, man we had fun! My first car at 15 was a 1970 Coronet RT, V code 6 pack, pistol grip 4 speed, dana rear, painted it red with flat black hood and side scoops, it was bad ass! Glad I am still alive!

I wish I would have known earlier...I would have made the trip, close to where I grew up.  Is this an annual thing??

It was the 9th annual.      Quite a good turnout today. It was a beautiful day.   And a good time was had by most   but probably not all       

I spent most of my time hanging with members Khyron,   CTCharger Andy,   Dart3404 Jen & her hubby Ed, Highbank Hauler Al and TNT Tom among other folks from moparts or personal friends.     

Some pics to follow in awhile.

OK... that's about all I got for now.  Needless to say I had a great time today.   No I didn't run my car.  I did get a top 50 in the car show.  Whatever.  It was a good day.

[AKcharger]

Be sure to post reminders about this next year...I'll be there!

[73Charger]

I'm glad I went.  I found a few parts for my Charger from one guy in the swap meet - probably someone from the site :-) and I got to see many great cars.  I was a bit shocked that I only saw one of my car there.  Yes, only one 73 Charger was there in the car show, and I saw none racing.

[Ctcharger]

It was a good day, the weather was perfect with the smell of burnt rubber wafting through the air.   Lots of nice cars.

Here are a couple I took
69 Hemi Charger
66 Charger
Nice 68







It was good catching up with Brian and Jen.   Sorry I didn't get to see anyone else, I did stop by Khyrons booth but I didn't know it was him.

[BrianShaughnessy]

It's all good Andy!     But alas,  neither of us won any MP /6 manuals or old wax this year -  bummer 

I took a pic of the plate of the '69 Hemi Charger (just for Chris!!! )  but forgot to take a pic of the car.  Heck I didn't get yours either   

[Ctcharger]

No problemo Brian.

Here is a couple more


Heres a different view of your car.  You have a sweet looking car.


Very nice 71 Cuda 440 6bbl.  This guy lives about 5 min from me.

what did you get, would have been funny if you bought them from me

I was the skinny guy at the black trailer in the vender section

[Chris G.]

Great pics gang! I wish I could have gone. Next year for sure. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Thanks Brian!  You rock!

Looks like a great show........Chris, we definately ahve to mark the calendar for next year 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Thanks Brian!   You rock!

A lot of Chargers had the hoods closed... I did what I could for ya.   Either that or I know you already had the data.
Closed hoods on most '70's also that I recall.   Lots of open hooded '68's but nobody cares about them   





(note     would indicate that your sarcasm detector should be pegged about now... get your panties unbunched... it's a joke)



Oh yeah -  ChrisX2 should be driving up north next year for sure!!! 

[dart3404]

Thanks Brian! ? You rock!

Its an awesome show, worth the drive IMHO.
I must admit this was one of my favorite cars there.
