I believe JohnnyP will join me at the Chatterbox, so put him down as a maybe. I may have some people or friends along for the ride. One friend in particular wants a shotgun ride in my car so he may get it if he shows up. I'm thinking of putting together a meet spot for a cruise up, but... with the low count, I may just pass on a cruise idea and just blitz the back roads up. But I'll start something anyway to gauge interest.

looks like great weather forecast for tomorrow. For those who are attending, check the first post of this whole thread for details if you wanted to meet up and drive in together. I expect a large turnout at the chatterbox, so us going a bit early is a good thing. I will be coming from Island Dragway where I'll be watching some Pro Mods and doorslammers ripping up the 1/8th mile. feel free to join me there too.

Plan to be there. If I am not at the firehouse by take off time, I will meet you at the venue. Vehicle TBD.

Glad I rode the Motorcycle up, parking lot is nuts! I’m impressed though.

IROCZman15 · 08-26-2018, 09:32 AM

Wow! that was a HUGE turnout at the Chatterbox. As alex said, the parking lot(s) were nuts for hours !

A good group of us met up as planned just down the road at the fire house parkign lot. A few people with f-bodys that happened to be going to the chatterbox already pulled in and hungout for a bit and then we met up with them later. We left the parking lot at 4:15 and when we arrived at the Chatterbox a few minutes later we saw how crowded it was. we were lucky that almost all of us were able to squeeze into some of the very last grass parking area available. A good group of our member attended, so that was awesome. There were lots of cool cars, trucks, customs, muscle cars, and good stuff. the line for food inside was easily 60-90 minutes of wait time. Weather was great.

I took a lot of photos, here is the link:

Glad that we moved this event from last weekend to be this weekend... club turnout was great and it was a good way to say farewell to the Chatterbox as it closes its doors next weekend.

and here are photos (and a dozen or so SHORT videos) of the Doorslammer event that same day at Island Dragway

It was a cool day for me; a double header car day. Drove my car to Island and hungout for about 4 hours watching awesome Top-Sportsman and Pro Mod cars along with a real good variety of cars in footbrake and pro-dial. Then i drove to the chatterbox event.

(not only did I go to high school with this guy, but he lived three blocks away from me. he has always had Gm drag cars, camaros, S10s, g bodys, etc. it was awesome to run into him again, and we chatted for a while. I ahve a LOT to learn if I want to ever get involved in a drag car that runs a circuit for points)

He lives near Sparta Lake, on Sparta Mountain. I've known him for a couple years at least, we actually met at the Chatterbox. Good guy. He's been around for a few years. Had a T top camaro, that rotted, so he took the driveline out and put it in the current Iroc. Has had a few other cars, that TA is his current nice day car.
