Any Lateral-G people going to attend this event? I'm thinking we should pull together a Lateral-G meet at the show.

I missed this thread when Steve posted it...

I'll be there all 3 days. Come on, summer!

I wonder if they will have the brake challenge again this year after the disaster last year? I'd guess their event insurance went up.

[CNDbowtie]

this is a awesome show..i drive down from Canada every year to see it..i also drive down for the Backtothe50s show too...Minnesota has some of the best cars and that venue at the State fair grounds couldnt be a better place to have a show this size

[E.rodz]

[86TransAm]

I will def be at the show.I am no hard core street racer.I just have a car I have fun in and take that every year.I usually setup and park with the Mnfbody club but it looks like that club has disbanded recently.no matter what it is the one car show event I look forward to every year where I am not a dad or hubby for 3 days,I am just another car guy with thousands of other car guys :thumbsup:

Some young gal drilled a tree with a Mustang II. She was carted away in an ambulance and the car was pretty much wiped out.

[nvr2fst]

I didnt know this was an event at the nationals, must have been too busy looking at cars. Im surprised that it was set up next to a tree line despite the barriers in lieu of a more open area.

[moparnate]

[MnHotRod]

Pre-Registration deadline is July 12th. See you there.

[Josh69]

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday! Woot. The car isn't quite as done as I'd hoped, but wet-sanding and buffing is a biotch and I'm tired of it LOL!

Look for a black '69 bird with 18" TTII's and a white interior.

EDIT: Won't have the car there, but it'll be there in spirit. Decided I'm tired of breaking my back trying to make it to the show, gonna relax and enjoy it without the stress.

[jeff s]

We will be there with our 1979 LS1 Camaro which is a Pro Tour car. Along with our all season Pro fun 98 Wrangler with a LS6.

The Wrangler is kind of scary unless you are going straight. Does well on the speed bumps though.

Look forward to seeing you all. Stop by and say hi.
