Start vacation on august 4th and go back to work on august 11. This should give us Friday and Saturday at the park and the rest of the time to see family. Got to set priorities.
If nothing happens then we will be taking my 86SE.

Hay Mike if you go to Norwalk I would go as well. However It will be only if I can do an engine swap on my 88 and get it running good enuf to make the trip. Right now I wouldnt trust it enuf to make it. However if I get my 86 done by then I may consider taking it.... It would also depend on how well it runs after changing the engine in it and if I have the cash to make it. If your Talking about Norwalk. Wheatstock is still up in the air, however If I get my CDL by then I will find a differant job and may be able to make it anyway. Time will tell.

I got some info on the Atwood Rod Run. It is in Late May if anyone is interested. Would be a good show to invade.
Yes the Focus is mainly on Old Hotrods but however the one year I went to look at the show there were a few new cars, They were stock and included A few Corvettes, a 25th Edition Camero and several other Cars.... Those who go to the event That I Told that I would be bringing a Fiero to the show have acted as if it would be welcome at the show and maby could open the show to a new class. This show has been around for over 20 years and has grown to a huge show that is made of several hundred cars.

If the weather is good count me in, I would love to take the Targa Fiero on a trip like that, even though I have the roof for the car the only time it is in place is when I store it for the winter.

We will be glad to see all of you there. Please be sure to check out www.pontiacnationals.com for event info and activites. As I have stated earlier the Fiero classes are similar to the POCI events. The mod cars are place in open classes but Fieros usally dominate most of them. Most will enjoy seeing the vintage cars run along with 5 prostock cars running on Sunday. Last year they had Warren Johnson, Jim Yates, Mark Pauwk, 2004 Champ Greg Anderson and Ron Kersher. Autographs were easy to get since they were pitting in the show area about 30 yards from the Fieros. I almost got run over my Warren while I was cleaning the front of my car. He coasted by with the engine off and suprised me. Also don't miss the pound of ice cream for a buck the track is famous for it. If anyone has questions please pm me. It will show a lot of people we are for real with a large group of Fiero's in a Pontiac show.

I just have to be there! I want to help in supporting this. So, I have put the engine swap to the side and I am working on finishing the body first.

Now that sounds like a good 1st road trip for my future 88GT. who knows I might even get the swap done in time for it.. well.. thats really hopefull dreaming but ya never know..
Will there be a autocross and/or road course there? That would be an exelent way to show off the fiero's abilities...

------------------
This msg was brought to you buy a person who wishes he had an 88 fieroGT with an LS1 and 6speed.

just bumping this up to the top, im really looking forward to this show.

matthew

Thanks for bring this up again! If you want to be a the best covered and largest Pontiac event this is it.

Everyone claims the Fiero is dised by the press and other Pontiac people. Well this show the Pontiac people treat us very well and the editors of the magazines spend time with us. The shame of it all is we only get 30 Fieros! If you are able and don't attend this show don't complain about Fiero coverage with either Pontiac Magazine.

I need someone to take my place here since I will be out of town on a trip for the company I work for, I will be in Nevada but my heart will be in Norwalk!

I wonder if I could talk the wife into showing my car for me?

Well as I said earlier Ill be there. And my Formula will be improved by leaps and bounds over last year. Hope to see you at Norwalk. Trust me a good time will be had by all who attend.

I'll be there for sure! Looks like a fun weekend. Where does everyone stay for this show?

in dales back yard

litterally, alot of people just camp in his yard, its about 45 minutes from norwalk.

matthew

Now Dales is the perfered place to stay. However I also only live 45 mins away and if I for some reason do not go to Dales people can alway stay here too. But most likely Ill be at Dales as with others.

If my wife don't kill me first ... then the cookout/campout is still a go .... I will be formulating details within the next two weeks .... I'll start a new thread once I have those details ironed out !!!

Stay tuned !!!

Sounds good Dale. Maybe this year I wont be the only one.

Still planning on coming! Me and my buddy are showing, he has a 94 Bonneville SSEi. It's gonna rock!

------------------

Ohhhhhh yeahhhh!

Back to the top with this one. Dont let this get past the third page.

I might actually be able to make the trip up Sunday this year with you all Dale. Right now nothings on any of my clubs schedules for that day.

Sounds like a plan, I will have to get a few things in order, but I will try to make it.
I'll know more by the end of july.

Anyone want to ride along??

Start: Hutchinson, Kansas, United States
End: Norwalk, Ohio, United States
Total Distance: 1010.7 Miles
Estimated Total Time: 15 hours, 3 minutes

Please keep this show in mind. If you can make only one day try for Sunday. As I have said they don't have a lot of Fiero class but they have been adding them as we gain cars.

Also if you want to let the Pontiac press know we are a large and strong group this is the place for it. HPP and PE both attend each year and are very good to our group. With more cars we should get even better coverage.

If you love Pontiac this event is more active than any other.

One side note to those attending get you 1 pound of Ice cream for a $1 on the pit side of the track. It is the best race track offer in the country on any hot day. Just ask a Cleveland Fiero member to show you where it is.

Uh, Scott Where is the Ice Cream? I never found it last year.

Nice to see this thread back on page 1. We would love to see more Fieros this year.

Behind the pit side stands in the row on food vendors.

This is a great show to put on your calendar. I have gone the last 3 years. It would be great to have 100 Fieros this year! There is a coup class and a GT class plus a modified class Ames does a great job. There is a show within a show, Fiero Fever put on by the Cleveland Fieros witch I am proud to be a member of ! There are over 800 show and race cars on display. Not to mention one of the best facilities in the country. Lets make a statement 100 Fieros or bust.

hmm..... should i bring a fiero and my 91GTP, its one of a few 3.4L DOHC 5 speed GP's made in 91.... na, ill bring my two fiero's

87GT 3.4L 5 speed in ford snow white and a 85GT in dark purple metallic with custom purple/white interior.

dale, my purple car has so much flake in it that it may make your car jealous

matthew

Please to anyone who feel there Fiero might not be show quality still bring it. We have had works in progress attend and it was great seeing what they were working on.

If you want to race they will let you race if you register. I will make it tougher to get judged though.

All Modified cars are in a mod class or street class noted by a spread of years. But I can confirm that in all the year I have attended Fiero's hold their own well in these classes against some tough cars.
We have place anywhere from 1 to all 3 places in each open class most years.

Just if you do attend please do so to show our strength of our support of the Fiero.

Our Main goal with a show of numbers is, more and better press coverage plus more classes in the future at this event. If some of us can take some hardware home it will just be bonus.

Muahahha this is going to be awesome!!!!

The 85Gt will be coming if I get the interior done in time. At the rate I'm going its never going to be done

Angie

Bad news .... I will not be able to host the Cookout/Campout this year. Personal and financial reasons ........ I tried ... I feel bad ... nothing I can do about it however :-(

Please don't let that stop Y'all from attending the Ames Pontiac Performance Weekend / Cleveland Fieros Fiero Fever show at Norwalk ......... Ames, Norwalk Dragstrip, and Cleveland Fieros do a fantastic job of making Fieros and Fiero owners quite welcome !!!! The show is AWESOME !!!

I have posted a new thread about the cancillation.

Really and truly dissappionted ........... Dale

[This message has been edited by 2M4 Dale (edited 07-01-2004).]

Well even though Dale is unable to host the picnic I hope people still plan to show up for the Nationals.

------------------

Here's a little update, both of my Cousins race cars will be at Norwalk:

'65 GTO Alcohol Injected Recently took First (Bracket Class Low ET) at the Pontiac Southern National Drags In Dallas:

Pontiac Powered Alcohol Injected "Digger" took Third (blown head gasket) in Dallas:

I'll be heading down to crew for him, undecided if I'll take the Fiero down at this time.

Anyone interested in purchasing a California Emissions Legal SBC LS1 427 dyno rated at 535 HP (engine was just dyno'd) should visit his Web Site, he will be marketing it very shortly. There also some other 'hard core' parts on his site.

Another update: I personally met and talked with Arnie Beswick today ( for those un-aware he was burned quite badly in a race accident last year ), Arnie and his Team are also planning to be at this event. Arnie is pretty scarred up, and tips of fingers on left hand are missing from the severe burns he received. He is in excellent spirits, and to show what a terrific person this guy is, please read his note (dated 12/21/03) on his Web Site:

I hope to make it there with my 88 GT3.4
Of course, I still have to get the 88 coupe to do the swao on, and get the DOHC running
