just got back from there, saw one over priced '87 GT.

OK, I just studied Austin's weather map on the 5 news. If my weatherman skills are still good at predicing it, i have good news!

I strongly believe that we will only get a quick sprinkle!! around 2pm it should rain at the show, IF it rains at all.
The cold front has stalled and mostly to the east of I35. I may bring a shower with me depending on when I leave from here...

So for me...It's on bitches!

Well the forecast is showing 30% chance til 3 pm then it increases to 40% til 5 pm. The nearest watch box ends down near Waco right now. There is a big line of crap out near Abilene that is slowly moving this way. That might be what they are talking about for 3-5pm. Guess I'll take the chance and go for the show today. If they cancel now I'm screwed.

Well... I am ALMOST leaving the house when I wanted to... should be at Pappas on time.

I checked the NTMC website... looks like at of this moment... show is still on...

They may just try to wrap up earlier like they did last year.

Don't wait for me. It's pouring up here and lightning all around right now so I'm not leaving for a while. I'll get there later

Well... that certainly would have saved Kevin and I long trips this morning... if it had been up up there by 0430.

By the time I got the news and called him... he was North of Waco. Sorry dood!... I know work may get in the way next week, I will get your goody bag and stuff if you can't make the 8th... bring it down to you on the Round-Up.

I hope there is no rain next week and the show gets pushed again... If it is moved to May15... most of the club will be down in SA.

edit to add... I don't konw about Carrolton, but after a brief spit of rain this morning at 0600... Everything West of downtown FW has been gorgeous car show weather. Cool, light wind, overcast for good pics... Man... you cannot get better car show weather than this... but who knows what it would have looked like at 1300 or so.

check date and time^

Man what a bummer deal!! Even I could see the weather pattern on the radar! Oh well.............

yep may be working next weekend but it does assure me of being off that friday before roundup


I stopped by Georgetown's car show in sun city on the way home. Let's just say I lost...got nothing! not even third place ! class...49 - present other GM

Not a drop in East Fort Worth! One of the best days to have had a car show. I may actually wash my car for next week.

Thanks for the heads up @ 0700

We had some very heavy thunder storms last night, and got a good amount of rain.

All is well, the rest of the day was great, very pleasent... too bad the show was called.... but they had to do what they had to do..

It was very questionable whether or not I would have an entry at the show. So I guess it worked out the best for me this way.

Look forward to seeing everybody NEXT Saturday...

Jim

How did AER know my Fiero wasnt ready..?? Kevin, it was canceled because of me, not the weather.. But, you are fixing to say.. "Steve, you wouldnt show up anyways... " Mine wont be ready until... umm... August/September... maybe...

SMTHGT.....
Aka. "SmoothGT"

Lookin good for Saturfay!!! And GREAT temps!

Well now I really can't go. I will be ON CALL. for that weekend. So I can have the San Antonio show weekend off.

My friend is letting me borrow the Frontier pickup again for the AER show. I should be there closer to noon.

I am off but already planned a camping /4 wheeler trip for the weekend....Suck.....

I'm sure the family will understand (you are taking the family) AER is once a year, camping can be every weekend excluding next weekend of course. Joking of course, we'll see enough of you next weekend.

curious how many participants we will lose/gain cause of the rain date?

quote Originally posted by blakeinspace: List of attendees: 1) blakeinspace -- Formula 2) CenTexIndy -- 88 GT 3) TexGT -- 87 GT 4) revin -- 88 GT 5) Tom Slick -- 88 GT 6) AutoMark -- 86 SE 7) fierosmith -- 84 Coupe 8) fierocarparts -- 88 Formula 9) nosrac - 86 GT

from the pic of last year, looks like everyone's getting a trophy this year.
i guess the number of trophies is dependent on how many entries you have.

Weather is supposed to be spectacular on Saturday. I hope everyone can make it.

I guess we will stick to the same rendezvous times.

I'm currently not working this Saturday. I'm planing to make it

[This message has been edited by 2farnorth (edited 05-06-2010).]

I plan on making it this week. Will see you guys @ the show.

I will join you guys for lunch.
Be working for a few hours just down a few buildings away from the group.
Good luck to all.

If you have not paid for the show... please see me before registering. Basically, due to the rain non-event, we have some people that paid that will be unable to attend. It would be courteous to just buy their ticket, and adopt their place... if you don't mind. I will then return their money... now you don't have to of course..., just trying to honor a few requests.

the rain date reschedule cause my battery to die and the car to get dusty, oh well.
it should be fun...

A few pics at the AER show yesterday. Most of these were taken early in the day before the place really filled up. Sorry for the washed out color on some. Guess my camera wasn't up to the bight beautiful day.

1 picture of Fieros from a Fiero club in a Fiero Forum?????
Who all ended up making it?

We only had 7 Fieros represent NTFC, looks like the Corvette beat us out of higher attendance besides the Mustang Club. The members of NTFC included, me, blakeinspace, automark, nosrac, 2farnorth, fierosmith, and the new guy (daniel's dad) in his recently purchase 12K mile Yellow '88 GT. Had a good time and the weather was great.

[This message has been edited by Tom Slick (edited 05-10-2010).]

BUT... what Tom is leaving out... we had a surprsing number of members just stop by to say hi, visit, or go eat...

In addition to the 7 Fiero's (not sure what happened to Zach and Jim?)... we had the following members have a sit:

Steve Reid, JazzMan, Jarhead, Mark Kirby, Spencer, Jeff Ruff, Jessica, Kevin Acker, and Fiero friend... John Oliver.

That's 9 more random passers by that have direct ties to our community! Pretty Cool... I wish they were able to show their Fiero's... but I am very pleased that despite having down cars or other plans, they still came out to wish us well and check out the scene.

Steve... no goody bags this year... it was a goody envelop... with 2 dash plaques. And Sadly... The only shirt size they had when I picked up the 'no-show' reg's were Large. Not saying you need an XL or anything... just saying that that's what you got. If it doesn't fit ya... I know a certain grandson of your that will be thrilled to have it... no matter how big it currently is.

Oh yeah... oddly... you also won a trophy! (more on this story later)

LMBO! Revin has to show up for his, huh? Well it seems like the stock class at PSN will be good with a 12k mile 88 GT.

quote Originally posted by blakeinspace: Oh yeah... oddly... you also won a trophy! (more on this story later)

Not that it matters to me at all... but it does seem strange that someone who did not have an entry on site, to win a trophy, seems ..."odd"?

Did I miss something here? Evidently...

And Yes his car would diffeninately won a throphy had it been there, but in the word of Ricky Ricardo.. "Luuuucccy! .... You got some splainin' to do"

ROTF LMAO

Jim

Peace out...

now that is REALLY not fair!!!
a trophy for not showing up?!??!? maybe his penmanship was better than mine( it was Blake anyway)

So...
Where is teh pic of everyone getting a trophy??
come on rub my face in it!! please!

OR if someone won and feels that they don't deserve a trophy, please feel free to bring it to me at the Round-up. (or you can ship it to me)

X2--Who all won and where are the pictures.......

X3 Trophy pic trophy pics!

quote Originally posted by MstangsBware: X2--Who all won and where are the pictures.......

it's easier to tell you who didn't get a trophy: me, fierosmith, and automark

nosrac got first place
daniel's dad also got first (i think)
blake class
2farnorth class
automark (by proxy thru fierocarparts, since fcp wasn't there the decision was to give it to mark)

mark took a lot pics don't know why he hasn't posted them yet. maybe he's polishing his trophy.

WOW!! Now I know that I am TRUELY disliked, to fall below Auto Mark! Can I at least see the trophy I didn't get? I figured it was a bribe to NOT show up.


REVIN.....Here is a picture of an award winning Fiero. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

------------------
Life is just SO much better when you own AND drive a Fiero!
