This is supposed to be this weekend May 26th, 2012, but I guess it is somewhat a secret unless you sign up ahead of time. Just wondering where it is located and if anyone else is going? I want to go, but need more info on exact location. thirdgenranch_com Home Page
 
Thanks Kymmee, that show is always kept secret up until a few days before. They make you sign up and then they send you the directions to the show in the mail. lol It should be a fun show with all F-Bodies, Camaros and Trans Ams. Too bad you don't live closer and could make it. Hopefully someone else from the club will be attending. This will be my first time attending and I hope it's fun. :)
 
MULLET FEST 2012!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I went last year. A time warp back to the 80's for sure. We even stopped by for the pre party on Friday night, and it was a good thing we did or no one would of had any beer. Met some great people from Missouri, a large group of them drove up. Alot of IROC-Z's, a couple TA's, and a mint KITT car replica. We had fun despite constant drizzle all day and downpour at the end. They had burgers, chips, and soft drinks, so bring a cooler of your own personal favorites, a chair, sun tan lotion, and an UMBRELLA. It always seems to rain on this event.

We are going again, weather permitting. There should be 3-4 TTA's there if it is nice, but will be really nice to have the real strobie pace car there. It starts at 12 and is about an hour east of my house. We can meet up off I-80 if you want too and cruise there together. Not sure if I can talk my wife into the party tonight, it is suppose to rain tonight also.
 
Strobie and BADCARR make an appearance at Third Gen Fest yesterday. What an awesome day for some 80's flashback's, Lot's a Iroc's, a few gta's and trans ams, convertible trans am's and a couple formula's....and even a GN drove by and stopped in to see what all the fuss was about.... 80's music, mullets, and burn outs....and hardware... AND some maintenance done... someone looking at my engine noticed my cold air filter had slipped out of the hose and clamp and was just sitting in the the holding area, so I quickly re attached and clamped it down.....great people there again as well. I highly recommend it if you are ever near Crete IL on Memorial Day weekend. 66 cars today.

:hooray: Mike took home 1st in the Stock Trans Am class, and I took 2nd in the Modified class, not sure how since mine was stock too. LOL Hey, is that a 4th gen on the trophy???? Good Times.

It was great meeting Mike and his daughter in person too. She was a trooper as they stretched the awards out till almost 6. Mike's TTA is simply beautiful and love the strobe lights, as well as everybody else loved seeing them on too, what a presentation. we have to do some more shows.

I apologize for not taking more pics, hopefully Mike took some with his camera. A lot of people take pics at the event and will post them on the Third Gen Forum in the Midwest Region Forum, but none there yet. This was the only one I had someone take of me and Mike after the awards. I finally got to wear my reunion shirt and TTA watch too... what a dork... Love it.
