I would go if I didn't have so much college work to finish up this week. I went there last weekend and found a vndor selling a brand new QUAD 4 engine for $800 and GET THIS!!! A brand new 3.4 DOHC engine for $800. That was during the swap meet not the drag races, but was still fun to be there. Eric
Hey come on guys and gals. Lets make sure PA and Maryland are represented at this show. So far we have myself, Veronica V6 GT, Fleabitdog and maybe Rockcrawl going to this show. We are planning to leave around 6:00 AM Saturday from the Lancaster area and should be there before 9:00. It would be cool to get a large group to drive over. You can even run your car on the drag stip if you want for a fee. Here are the details of the show. http://www.fieropride.com/etown.htm

Fleabitdog, Hellertown is off of I78 just East of Allentown. I wish I could go to this show, but I still haven't got the plates on my GT. It also needs a 4 wheel alignment since I redid all the suspension. Don't want to ruin the new tires. I guess I could take my 84, but it is in poor condition.
Sounds interesting where ya gonna hookup at? I'm a bit further east of lancaster but if some one has a cell ya can call me when you get to the Valley Forge exit of the turnpike and I can hop on there as ya pass.
I don't have a cell phone, and am not sure skitime has one. We are leaving here at 6:00 A.M. which should put us at the VF exit around 6:45. Can you just get on and wait along the pike? We will look for you. Dave

Backyard alignment will work ok. Run a fishin line from the front tire to the back tire so it just touches the side wall of both. then adjust the front (steering wheel straight) wheel until the string just touches the front and rear side walls of the front then do the rear and then adjust a wee bit more on the front. do both sides and you will be surprised how close to the proper settings you will be. It's not perfect but it beats looking out the passanger window while going down the road and you won't burn your tires up real bad.
