After seeing ho wbad the venue was I will not be attending. When you have to drive a "Show Car" down a 1/2 mile dirt road which gets your car covered in dirt by the time you park in the grass, then on top of that gets covered by everyone else rolling in all day.... I will pass. Plus the drive there and back sucks since there is no direct route there.

thats sucks to hear that. anyone else from you team going. we are sending everyone to that show. we are crunching right now. with 2 cars down to metal. and 4 interior completely gutted and one engine bay empty. lol. the rest of us are ready to go though.

they have re-done the pier park now and i believe there is no longer a dirt road there, but cant be positive. Should be nice this year.

Hea what's the weather usually like around that time of spring. Just trying to get an idea. Is it still cool or can you feel the sun and it's like spring.

JASONBALL

02-21-2007, 11:39 PM

we got all got sun burned last year. it was hot. hope that helps

coolZero

02-22-2007, 03:34 PM

I'll be going Friday (early am) so I can kick around the beach some.
The usual hord of black cars/trucks are going too and a few newly re-done ones.
It was nice weather last year and I got a good sun burn as well. I haven't seen the world crew since that show if memory servers me.

Party time :cheers: :camera: :bump:

JASONBALL

I went two years ago. It was a blast. Thinking about doing the drive down for that weekend since I'll only be three hours away. May bring the skiis too, since the water will probably still be a little cool.

Which Jimmy is this?

There are always feature car/trucks there. If you really want to see a lot of clean trucks go to the Relaxed show in Millington, TN.

where do you camp at, the beach?

Red and black 2 tone, He is from GA, Shane something. He's a member of Relaxed. I want to goto RA this year. we will see how it goes though

4 more days. my truck wont be there though, just ran out of time.

JASONBALL

03-06-2007, 01:37 AM

yeah we had 3 cars down for the year and we have been grinding hard on them well looks like one won't make it. but it was big part on her to decided to finish up the other two cars. instead of only having one complete and 2 half way. she pulled out of the show for the club to get the 2 complete. but look for world-insight. you will be impressed

BanginJimmy

03-10-2007, 12:06 AM

I work in SE bama and my truck is in atl so I have very little time to really work on it. So 5 months and counting with the truck on jack stands. Good news is that the front is half way cut apart. Just have a little more trimming to do on the spring pockets and I'll be ready to start plumbing.

IDCoconut

03-10-2007, 12:36 AM

Shane's Jimmy isn't envoy clipped. That's why I was wondering which 2tone Jimmy you were talking about.

thats not a fullsize bumper cover that I've ever seen. What is it off of? Either way the truck is absolutely sick.

PeteSpeed3

03-12-2007, 05:14 PM

Was a good show only about 1200 car/ trucks and everything else there. No dirt roads
to drive on that I saw, could have been dirt before but the park is building the place just for the show. Jeff took home Best of Show. Drive thru judging was understandable, since the park is so big and so many cars to judge, kept the judges under a tent all day, so they were not as worn out judging that number of cars. My hats off to Vital signs very well put on show we will defently be going back..

It was a great show. Congrats on the best of show. car looked great as it has in the past. World-insight had 3 people place.

98 Neon won 1st place= all dodge mild
97 Accord won= 1st place Car all wild
00 cougar won=3rd place car all wild.

So two cars in the top 4 that is great for a growing club.

the show doubled from last year. facilities were a nice add on also. definatly building the grounds for future shows in mind.

03-13-2007, 01:17 AM
