    We should all meet up for this show in Wildwood. Here is some of the information that I found on the town's website.

    5/6-9
    12th Annual East Coast Boardwalk Nationals Car Show
    On the Boardwalk and at the Wildwoods Convention Center, 4500 Boardwalk, Wildwood. Fri. & Sat: 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. Cars displayed on Boardwalk. Evening cruise, muffler rappin', flame throwin', burn-out competitions. 609.523.8051 or www.njhra.com

    I have been going to this show since I was highschool. There is an incredible amount of cars. I usually go down Friday to see it. The majority of the activities take place starting Friday night with the evening cruise and saturday is the main show. I will keep you all posted on this. My sister in-law works for the njhra. I will have to talk to her. It would be a great time.

    Also I finally have a picture to show all of you. I am going to try to attach it and see what happens. This is the picture that was taken when I bought the car. When the weather finally warms up I will take some better ones.

    Hey man I wanna go but NJ is a He!! of a long way from Eugene, OR. But you know my birthday is the day before the event starts so depending on vacation time from work, how my 74 4 door is comming along I may smell a road trip comming on. Now I just have to find a friend to recruit for co-piloit. :D

    That is unless this is just a thing for you easterners :confused:

    By the way is there anyone else close to Eugene, OR???

    Sorry, I have not been back. There have been 2 deaths with close families in the last week and a half. I will let you know this weekend. Right now from past experience of other people there is no assigned spots. It is a matter of getting there on time together because they load the boardwalk from one end and fill it to the other. So once you are up there that is where you are for the day. As I said I will get better info this weekend when I am down there again. I am really looking foward to this.
    We need to get the rest of the tri-sate area guys in on this. :)
