For the members who have been to the Dallas, TX State Fair, you know it's a pretty good time. Well, it's coming up again. They have different themes throughout the year (I guess you could say) for different car shows, etc. But, this is the one we, as f-body enthusiats, need to know about.
I was fortunate enough to meet some folks on a somewhat "local" board a little over a year ago. Some were from San Antonio, some from Austin, Dallas, Houston, etc. and all over Texas. But, the Texas F-Body Association (headed by Millie aka: cytruffle) has yet again put together another car show event (4th Anniv) coming up on October 20th.
This will be my second year attending. Last year, Scott Settlemire was their special guest at the event. He will be the special guest again this year. The concept will also be on hand for public view in the auto building. TFBA is not sure as to which concept will be on hand, but there will be one present. Last year, Scott brought out the silver concept and 7 very special f-bodies. I can't say for fact, but the 7 f-bodies will probably be there again.
The event is open to all 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gens. This year, there is an emphasis on the 67-92 year model Camaros and Firebirds. The 4th Gens fill in all other spots in the car corrals since there are so many. I say this event is open to all who want to participate, but it is my understanding that all preferential treatment is given to club members. I am not a member. However, I am planning on spending $10 to join so I get the priveliges that others get as well. I highly reccomend this. Joining will guarantee you a spot.
I know there are more than a few members here from Texas. If you are interested in bringing out your Camaro or Firebird and participating as well as hanging out at the Fair and also possibly chatting with Scott Settlemire, we will have a few caravans of Camaros/Firebirds from different parts of Texas headed to the Fair. A regular hotel which members stay at is already expecting and taking reservations, a concept Camaro will be on hand, and there's plenty more...trophies, prizes, etc. for the car show.
We had an absolute blast last year. I met lots of good people...enthusiats just like me who couldn't get enough of talking cars and car stories. So if the wife or husband is sick and tired of hearing you bring up the 5th Gen and you need someone else to talk to, you want to show off your ride, and would like a little vacation, join on up! The late night hotel parking lot get togethers are a blast as well!!!
Here's the link to the TFBA and all the particulars about the event. It's guaranteed to be a blast.
