Flyer for event (http://nebula.wsimg.com/f7638da795a7da20a7924494c9eb32ff?AccessKeyId=48C7C E7DFA1253C78253&disposition=0&alloworigin=1)

It's good to be involved with a show that helps preserve New Jersey's racing legacy. All years, cheap entry fee, food and more on site. Seems like a natural fit for us. Don't worry whether your car is or is not 'show quality'. Roll out, support the cause, have fun.

Flemington Speedway Historical Society was created "To Preserve, Protect, and Document the History of the Flemington Fairgrounds and Speedway"


Brandon aka ThoR294 is coordinating the meetup this for us. Look here for meet up plans the week before the show. It would be great to cruise in together if we can arrange something.

Who's in?

[edpontiac91]

Does anyone know what classes are and who does the judging? Is it on grass or asphalt and what type of awards are given out?:nod:

[BonzoHansen]

Grass. Not sure if there are classes.

[KevinW]

So a friend of mine and myself are scheduled to go. Is there going to be a meet up in central jersey first (maybe the AMC by Scott's house :)) then head up to Ringos for the 2nd meet up?

[KevinW]

wow, 4 days away and crickets. I'm still planning to go +1, anyone confirming?

[Mike]

I am going with my dad and his car. I think he is also bringing some crap in my truck for the swap meet area. So I may hang out there after parking. Not sire

[wretched73]

I'm still going, not sure if any of my local friends are

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I will be at a wedding in MA.

[PolarBear]

Planning on it, hoping the new slave cylinder comes before the end of the week so I can take the Firebird

[ThoR294]

Possibly a yes to meeting up in flemington if i take that '47

[wretched73]

Too early for me lol. Maybe if it was around 9 I'd meet up. I'm not sure if I'm driving anything to the car show yet

[ThoR294]

Too early for me lol. Maybe if it was around 9 I'd meet up.

you're telling me lol gonna have to go to bed at like 8PM friday

[wretched73]

I got new plans now. I'm meeting at about 8:45 right in the center of Ringoes, by the carousel

[KevinW]

Ringoes is actually past the Fairgrounds for me :) and not sure if I can get there in time. So I will go straight to the show. See ya there! Wretched73, you are probably going right past me! :D

[wretched73]

I probably drive right by your house 5 days a week going to and from work :kneeslap:

[ThoR294]

i was told to be at the show at 7 :nick::nick::nick::nick:

what time is everyone thinking of going?

[PolarBear]

I'll probably get there around 8

[wretched73]

9, no idea why you were told 7? spectators can't get in until 9 anyway

[KevinW]

Its open for cars at 7, maybe that is why. If the parking directions are anything like when I went years ago, the early birds are parked near the 4 buildings in a line, then they worked their way back. The middle of the area was actually nicer then the front. Look for me while you are there, I will be the orange 69 vert (my avatar pic) and my friend will be in his orange 69 Z (both with black stripes). Will probably be the only two orange 69s parking together :)

I am going to print out the registration page to save some time http://nebula.wsimg.com/f7638da795a7da20a7924494c9eb32ff?AccessKeyId=48C7C E7DFA1253C78253&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

We are near the vendor pavilions towards the highway

[ThoR294]

Anyone show up? I saw a few 4th gen and 2nd gens that looked familiar, but saw no one. Hard event to meet up because the amount of cars is endless and its hard to sit still lol. We stayed around our cars for a bit but no one showed :P

[PolarBear]

I saw your car because you posted that picture. I looked for Kevin, but I didn't see his convertible. I left around 1:30 or so since my cousin and Uncle had already left

[ThoR294]

I saw a car like yours with decals all over it. I thought it was you till I saw the stickers lol

[Mike]

It was his. Stickers from njmsp

[Mike]

The red and black ya flew past me mergering onto 202 when we left (yellow 68 vert)

[KevinW]

Yes, was there, didn't see the 4th gens from above pic. We ended up in the main show field, but at the very top corner across from the dumpsters along the dusty road leading to the 2nd field. My friends Z was on the corner, then a blue 50s ford, that the handlers stuck in between us even though we said we wanted to be together :( then me. My top was up, so I was disguised as a coupe :) By the time you walked around all the cars it was hours later. Sat for a bit, then back for some food. BIG show, saw cars getting placards at 923, but more came in after. Left right before awards. Put the top down and enjoyed the ride home because it was HOT!

Well maybe next year we can be better organized (and I could get there earlier)

The key is to meet up before going in so we are all together I think. Maybe not start so early lol

[Mike]

If you can guarantee a car count they will do something like they did for the vw's. But you can't tell them a count then have single digits show up

Yeah that was a LOT of Volkswagens. If we had the amount that showed at Duke island or race wars we'd be able to do it. Maybe we plan ahead next year.

I walked around and I saw your friends car at the corner, but I wasn't really paying attention, so I didn't notice your car :|
