WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THIS YEAR?
« on: January 02, 2009, 09:23:30 am »
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
With the new year, we will be setting up the events calendar very soon.  We would like to know what type events you would participate in.  Not just events you would like to see, but ones you would actually participate in, either as an entrant or spectator.  Cruise-ins at the burger and wing joints, car shows, weekend cruises, visit other Fiero Club meets, tech and repair sessions, poker runs, group runs at a road course, fun runs into the mountains?

You know me I'm up for everything, but I especially like the St. Patty's Day Parade. My problem is that I'm up for everything and my wife wants me to stay home.  >:( But I pretty much do what I want.  ;D I like the cruises, and the poker run sounds fun. Maybe we could meet somewhere midway and get the two clubs together for lunch and a short cruise? And I know it's a long drive, but we all like to drive, but I'd kinda like to join up and drive out and meet the SCFC sometime.

Track day at Road Atlanta. Although I may have to bring something other than a Fiero, unless I can find time to get one of them put together. How many folks do we need to get together to keep a track day cost at $100 each?
And, I expect to have enough money this year to re-join the club...  ;)

Road Atlanta is a little on the expensive side compared to some of the others.  Seems like it's better than $3000 for a session and they only allow a limited number of cars.  Chuck Willyard might be able to get us a day at Little Talladega.  He was willing to set it up last year, but had no takers. 

We'd have to have prepaid registration, non-refundable in order to do it.  If there's enough interest, it's a can-do.

What/where is Little Talladega? If it's a small oval (like it sounds), it may be fun; but not near as fun as a road course. Still I'd be interested.
Will they allow 30 cars at Road Atlanta? If so, perhaps we can get some other clubs involved to get up 30 folks willing to go $100.
Prepaid registration, non-refundable is understandable.

Paul, Little Talledaga is off I-20 between Anniston and Birmingham, and it is a road course.  Here's a link for anyone interested. 

http://www.tgprace.com/

OldOne, Robbie's gonna check with Ed Parks to see what's happening with the Fiero Factory Swap Meet, and he's checking schedules of other events, so as not to have major conflicts. 

Daytona is a big show.  There used to be a show within a show, with Fieros being the show within.  Due to some participant complaints, the car show was discontinued last year, and it became a cruise-in for the Fieros, without any judging or trophies.  It is a big event for the Fieros, though.  Here's a link.

http://floridafieros.org/daytona2009/

I'm also considering setting up a tour of a private collection of muscle cars.  It's been over 10 years since I've talked to him, but I think it can be done.  Ronnie and Carolyn went with another group a year or two ago, and they really enjoyed it.  It's quite a private collection.

I know it's quite a long ride but how about Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville , Tenn.? or Don Garlets Museum in Florida?
Also Barber cycle museum in Alabama? I understand there's a car show second Saturday of every month in Opelika @ Home Depot just off 85!

Little Talledaga looks like a great track. Not near as convenient to come back & get the trailer if the car breaks, though.  ;D
There is also a micro car museum below Athens, too. The info is on another computer; I'll try to find it sometime soon.

Some of us will be at Pigeon Forge for the All Pontiac Show.  The museum would be a good place to go while we're there.  Second Saturday of the month is our meeting day, too.  Anything that could be done in a day is more likely than something that would require an overnight stay, like Big Daddy's museum.

One of the problems we have here is that there's so many darned events every weekend, all around Atlanta, that anyone that wants to participate or show their car can do it at their back door, and they don't want to drive across town to do it as a group.

The Micro Museum might be something that we could visit as a group on a weekend.

As I mentioned at the meeting, Sam Memmolo from Speed Channel is sponsoring a benefit Car Show and Dog Show on behalf of the Douglas County Humane Society.
The location is Clinton Park, in Villa Rica. One exit west of Douglasville.
The date is April 18th, with a rain date of April 25th. (The 25th is also the same day as the swap meet.)
Entry is $20 per car, with all proceeds going to the Douglas County Humane Society.

Last year there were over 100 cars. This year promises to be even bigger.
You might even get to see Sam wearing a "dog bite" suit and mixing it up with one of Douglas County's K9s.

The web page with the show info is here... http://www.shadetreemechanic.com/2009_car_show.htm

I do have a Word doc of the flyer. If anyone wants one right away, shoot me an email at:
shamilton AT mindspring.com and I'll send it to you.

I went to this show last year and had a lot of fun!

Edit - Added updated link to the show's web page.
