Yes, yes. It's that time again when we start planning our schedules for the new year. So, in an attempt to give you as much time as possible to prepare for the upcoming events, here is a list of the show dates so far:

May 17, 2009 - Lititz, PA - show and swap meet; there will be a small cover charge to rent the pavilion and we are hoping that everyone will try and supply a dish of some sort for meals.

June 27, 2009 - the one we've all been waiting for . . .GM CARLISLE !

Come one, come all, heck, bring every last Fiero that you got if you can

This is the replacement show for the Kit Car show. This is the BIG ONE! If you'd like to continue seeing us at Carlisle, then register, register, register.

If this show falls through then there is a very good chance that there will no longer be a "FIERO SHOW" at Carlisle.

Registration begins the second you read this. Check the MAFOA.com website for more information.

If I understand correctly, there will be a registration form available for you to fill out.

All Pre-Registrations MUST BE SENT IN ON OR BEFORE MAY15, 2009.

I do believe you get a discount if you register early and with that registration fee you get to bring a friend (each and every day if you decide to attend).

The more Fiero's pre-register, the more Carlisle will take us seriously again. Let's remind everyone just how cool this little car is!!!

Back in the days of the Kit Car Nationals, we had up to 120 cars show up!

That may not be possible now, but hey, let's shoot for 75?!
Other events following the GM Nationals include the Show-N-Go at Freysinger Pontiac in Mechanicsburg, Pa (most likely in August), and the Dutch Classic again in Lititz, PA. Show dates and additional information will follow shortly.

Hey, MAFOA members and board members, if I missed anything or annouced ianything wrong, let me know. The facts are important things!


Also, if you have an upcoming event that you would like everyone in our area to know about, let me know. I'll help you spread the word as much as possible!

im resorting to a cheap temporary macco paintjob just for the GM nationals event so as long as my new baby decides to be cool about getting there ill have mine there semi complete good enough to show but it probabley wont take home anything by than ill have my interior redone V8 archie rockers on and the 355 front end and ferrari taillights in and hopefuly i might have the fiero1fan headlight buckets in. so count on me being there.

Jenn, is there any chance you and Chris could bring some stuff from the parts 85 in the back yard to Lititz for me? I will definitely be at Lititz, not sure about Carlisle yet though. Depends on where I am, if I am still in PA or not....

x- it just depends on if he brings his truck or his fiero. he hasn't decided yet. if he doesn't bring his truck then you'll probably have to get them your self.

The registration for the GM Nationals will open soon. Please only register thru the mafoa.com web site, we are trying to show Carlisle Events that we can attract enough cars for eight classes. If we do this thru our site then they will furnish the awards for us this year. In the past they have only sponsored two classes for us, so lets show them that the Fiero is the supperior GM vehicle and get you car registered for the show. Mafoa really needs your support on this one so come on and do your part!

That is sooooooo eerie! You basically have just described the modifiations to my Fiero. We might have paternal (GM) twins at the GM Nationals! See you there!

Hotel reserved, and registration sent in. -Jason

I'm planning on attending the GM Nationals and will register as soon as the access page on the MAFOA page is available. I remember the days not long ago when over 100 Fieros would be at Carlisle. IMO the attendance went down due to the sharp increase in the price of gasoline and the often cold rainy weather that the show in May was known for.
The all GM show at Carlisle is held in sunny and warm late June, gas prices have come down to more reasonable levels, the field will be filled with GM cars and parts and there is no reason not to attend the largest Fiero event in the NE.

Definitely! What do I need to bring?

I have registered through the MAFOA site. Right now it's still a bit of a mystery if I'll be able to go, but I'll throw in on the optimist side of things.
