East Coast F-body Nationals

[Savage Messiah]

I'm not sure if anyone here would be interested in this but it is sure to be one hell of a fun event. We will have a show, a race, and possibly a dyno. YearOne goodie bags for everyone who attends. There will most likely be many more give-aways and i will update this post/thread as i am given more information. If you have any questions feel free to ask at the New Jersey F-Body Owners Association ( http://njfboa.org ) and post in this section.

This meet is being run by the same guy (Tim) who ran the East Coast nats at Englishtown the first two years. It'll be a fun and worthwhile event for all who chose to attend.

Things are hopefully being solidified in the next week or so, so any comments/suggestions post em up here or over at NJFBOA

The rules are still up for debate to some degree, if anyone has suggestions for improvement. We won't be nailing down the specifics until the middle of next week.

[Savage Messiah]

Bumping this. Again the East Coast Nats homepage is here

We have a lot more solidified now, a bunch of brackets and a heads up class set up. We have people potentially coming in from as far as Michigan; although it's named East Coast F-body Nationals you can be from anywhere in the country and come down, no discrimination there . Right now the estimation is at 300+ cars.

[Chevyracincamaro]

so do we register or just show up?

[Savage Messiah]

No registration necessary as of right now, I'll upate this if that changes for some reason

[WeirdRich]

I'll have to check that out. Maybe get some other MI guys and make a road trip out there.

[drvngstorm05]

no road course or autocross?

[Savage Messiah]

No, the track only has a strip
