Final Fall Fling 2007... 10/14/2007 12:00ish

[97TransAm]

Hey all,

Well I'm thinking of going and getting the paperwork started along with a deposit in to reserve Peace Valley Park on October 14th (Sunday) for another "casual" gathering... The Final Fall Fling 2007.


Few pics (http://www.97transam.com/f4.php)
Andrew has 1,361 tons more...
Squints88 video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N_a4OAQoRQ)
typical 97ta video (http://www.97transam.com/movies/97transamBurnout.wmv)

At the moment, the 97TA is not on the road as its getting line-locks and there was a problem with a pre-bent brake line. So you know this means trouble.... :roll:

I'll post when I have the pavillion permit in my hands...

[HibachiZ28]

That was definitely a great time! I have a video I took located here:

Ron, I'm not going to forget the sound of your T/A. That's the first thing I remember from the meet lol. I wish my LT1 sounded that good! Thanks also for getting things going. I'll be there again, this time in my f-body I hope :)

[Nodnarb481]

i <3 the final fall fling.. it needs to become annual.. Im in 100% I dont even care if I have classes that day or something

[GreatSave9]

And this time we'll try not to be an hour late......

[01TransAmChick]

shit, looks like im coming home from cleveland that weekend. then driving the 7 hours back or so after the meet lol.

[Squints88]

The last pic is where its at...good times

I'll be there without a doubt

[91 LS1 Z28]

I'm up for this, the day after my bday too. So if someone wants to order me some N2O from Josh for my bday hook it up lol.

[Bow94z]

i'll be there Ron, Anything u need help with let me kno...

[Y2KFirehawk]

I'd definitely like to come to this.

97TransAm - I am more than willing to chip in to help on the financial end of this event versus it all being on your shoulders!

[97TransAm]

Yo man, thanks! But right now, like last year, I'll float the initial $100. Its $60 for the pavilion rental which is definitely worth the money as the park ranger came last time and when saw we were "permitted", he laugh and said he would leave us alone for the day. Otherwise they could have harassed us, if you know what I mean. Carol and I were more than glad to supply the dogs and soda for the nearly thirty some that showed up. A few bucks spent to see a nice group of people having a good time is a big reward to us both. Plus I considered it "payment in full" when I got all the photos and the video of me having "tire problems". :lol:

I just downloaded the permit application. I'll score a check off Carol and send it to the park office this weekend. Will let you know when I the pavilion is official ours. Then we all can go to town on spreading the word.
On that last note, if I sense that the crowd will be "huge", I might then ask for assistance with food and or beverages. So let's see how things develop, but I appreciate the offer. :)

Maybe I'll ask for help in traffic direction, or scounting patrols for "lost parties" on the wrong side of the lake. Bahahhahahaha.....

Wonder if that 2nd Gen will be there again.. that was a good landmark to turn at :)

[Y2KFirehawk]

Does anyone have the lat/long for the location? That would help for people not getting lost as you can put that in Google for directions as well as GPS. That way it would get you to RIGHT where everyone is...

I've never been there before so I Google'd "Peace Valley Park" and came up with:
http://scenicbuckscounty.com/PeaceValle ... yPark.html (http://scenicbuckscounty.com/PeaceValleyPark/PeaceValleyPark.html)
http://buckscounty.org/government/depar ... alley.aspx (http://buckscounty.org/government/departments/ParksandRec/Parks/PeaceValley.aspx)

and found the address of:
230 Creek Road, New Britain Township, PA

I used that address to get an idea of how long it would take to get there from where I live. At first it said something like 1+ hour to travel 30 miles.... but the new feature in Google maps allows to to "drag" the route to different roads and it quickly went down to 40 minutes-ish...

[GreatSave9]

Does anyone have the lat/long for the location?

Good idea. We'll have to set a time for "photo shoot" so we will see what cars we have there and then have a massive parking reorganization to get it correct this time.

Working on hitting up Carol for the check, but she's like, a moving target. She says she'll write one out this afternoon...

So, yeah, the check is in the mail....

[Y2KFirehawk]

It's a beautiful thing! As soon as we have a date we can start getting the word out! w00t!

[AliOmalley]

I cant wait, I had a blast last year, even though steve stole my car, ya jerk. Deffinetly worth the trip home!

[97TransAm]

Well I'm sorry to say, but I just received the official permit issued by the Bucks County Parks system and it has been approved. So it looks like we now have to get the word around and force ourselves to try to have a good time.

bahahhahahhaa.


Started an Official Page (http://www.97transam.com/f4_07.php) to help keep at least one source current with info and what is going on.

The pavilion 5 "holds" 100 people. I told the park that I was expecting 55 so we are covered to take over the whole parking lot. Its ours from 8am until 6pm.

Go forth and spread the word... :D

[Bow94z]

you da man Ron

I kick myself for being lazy and not coming home from school last year. I'll def. be there this year.

[97TransAm]

Hey!!! Like, one month away!!! :D

http://www.97transam.com/f4_07.php

I just started on getting stuff. Bought four packs of hot dogs yesterday.

I will also be bringing; Aluminium Foil, Charcoal, Lighter Fluid, Lighter, Big jar of pickles, Mustard, Ketchup, Relish...

8)

[Y2KFirehawk]

Hey!!! Like, one month away!!! :D

Sweetness... looking forward to it! Of your list of things, would you like to put a list out there for others to volunteer to bring? Should I just suggest something to bring? I'm not sure how you would like to run your show... ;) I brought the thread on LS1Tech TTT. ;)

Thanks much for LS1Tech.... :)

I'm supplying the basics; the pavillion and the hotdogs. So the chips and soda... I could use help on. That would be cool. Mainly because that would make sure people get the stuff they like.

Definitely time to get the word out. We had a really decent turnout last year and it would be fun to add to it. On my "to do" list is to post photos of key interesections to the pavillion so that we don't initially have half of the group on the wrong side of the lake. :lol:

Put all the T/a's together and the camaros

If we do that we'll have one good side of the lot(with T/A's) and one that... well isn't(with camaros). Lol j/k that sounds like an awesome idea. I'm definately going to try to make this one.

[Harner]

This looks like a blast. Looking forward to it!

[My82Roc]

Most likely I will be attending.

[Y2KFirehawk]

I'll bring (6) 2 Liters of soda and some ice!

[HibachiZ28]

Did we have a time listed? I know earlier is better than later for some of us... say 11am or so??? It'll be nice to have my OWN F-body this year and not ride with Liz :lol: Not that there's anything bad about riding with Liz :P

[97TransAm]

The pavillion is rented for the whole day, from dawn to dusk.

I usually state "noon" but I try get there earlier so as to "rope" off a good section for us so that there are no wtf? cars parked amongst us. So if some of you are coming earlier... that will help.

[HibachiZ28]

Sounds good Ron! I remember getting there last year "early" and it was just you and your wife and a couple of those "wtf?" cars in the lot too. Do we technically "own" the parking lot for the day as well, so we can tell people the can't park there or?

[97TransAm]

People are funny... they come to THAT parking lot to parked and then go walking or something. They "can't" park any where else in the park. bahahahaha. I subtly picked that pavillion because it also doesn't have any kid playground devices, not near the fishing piers and boat launch. Yeah, there is a slight method to my madness....

It is a public park, however, as we get close to the day and I have a fair idea of how many cars are going to show, I can "rope" off section(s) accordingly. The Park Rangers are very understanding of this. I put on the applicatin "55" people and everyone has to "correctly" park in a spot... so that's half of the parking spots. Bahahahahha. The courtsey thing is to leave a few open areas down on that one end and all of us up at the other end with the trees as a backdrop like we did last year.

What really helped me out last year was there was a large corvette group staging for their days cruise right at that spot. They must have gotten there "coffee early" so when I showed up and they left shortly thereafter, the parking lot at that whole section was "clean".

[HibachiZ28]

It all makes sense now!! Sounds good. I can't wait!! Eagles are playing the Jets at 1pm that day as well.

We should probably start a new thread so we can get a signup sheet for this meet as with the other ones? Or can a mod or admin edit this and add a poll? Thanks guys!

We can add one to this or you can just create a new thread. It might be easier to create the registration list in a week or two.

[97TransAm]

...It might be easier to create the registration list in a week or two.

Good idea!!! Thanks much for the assistance, I really appreciate it.

[Harner]

Is this a state park or just something open to the pavilion? Let me get down to it...

Is there alcohol allowed on the premises? 8)

[97TransAm]

Its a Bucks County Park (http://buckscounty.org/government/departments/ParksandRec/Parks/PeaceValley.aspx). Resides in New Britain Township.

Sorry (rules link) (http://www.pfxnstaging1.com/government/departments/ParksandRec/PermitApplications/PicnicRules.aspx) no alochol....

I obtain a permit to reserve the pavillion for us for $60. It is well worth it. This way, unless we are really "stupid", the Park Rnagers are on our side if someone complains that we "took all the parking spots"...

So far Harner, Gary, a bunch of guys from LS1Tech and myself are meeting off route 78 at route 100 to cruise to the show together.
Comfort Inn in Fogelsville, PA (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=7625+Imperial+Way,+allentown,+pa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.099308,93.339844&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1) is where we are meeting. Meeting time is 10:30 AM, if you are interested let me know. All I ask is that I have your cell phone number before then so that no one gets left behind!

Any suggestions as to the easiest way to get to there from where we are meeting? Or just go with the directions online/GPS?

[Red1992V6Rs]

Mark, check you PMS

If you would like, we can meet up by my house. I live right by the BP listed in the directions below. I can then lead everyone to the park. Just so no one gets lost.


Here's directions that I would find easiest for you guys coming down from Allentown.

Take Rt. 309 South towards Quakertown. Follow it past Quakertown and onto the expressway.

After the expressway ends, you will go striaght through 4 traffic lights. (Past Wal-Mart)

At the 5th light, turn left, which is County Line Rd. There will be an BP on the left side.

Turn right with the flow of traffic to stay on County Line Rd.

Turn left onto Trewigtown Rd.

Go straight at the stop sign. This will be New Galena Rd.

At the first stop sign, turn left to follow on New Galena Rd.

Follow New Galena Rd. for a few miles until the stop sign.

**AT THIS STOP SIGN MAKE A LEFT, THEN THE SECOND QUICK RIGHT onto New Galena Rd.** If you make the first right onto Creek Rd. it will take you to the other side of the lake. If you

Follow this road which leads you directly to the park enterance.

Yea I just cleaned mine up the other day, pressure washed, making sure not to hit or spray at the coil packs. Good thing I decided to do it, because I found that my belt had come half way off the top pullies(tensioner and whatever is on the driverside). Sad thing is I remember looking at it when I got the car, and thinking man that's a weird looking pulley, and not looking any further into it. Makes me wonder how long I was driving like that. Mark if you want to come down, or I'll stop up, and help you with cleaning it, feel free to PM me or text or call. Not like I have anything better to do. And yea guys thanks, I'm effin starving now reading about all this food. Can't wait for this to happen, I wonder how alone tim feels over there in the "other" column.

Mark if you want to come down, or I'll stop up, and help you with cleaning it, feel free to PM me or text or call. Not like I have anything better to do. And yea guys thanks, I'm effin starving now reading about all this food. Can't wait for this to happen, I wonder how alone tim feels over there in the "other" column.

lol@the "other" column. Yes, help Mark clean that engine bay. I don't believe him when he says he'll do it! Haha j/k

[Y2KFirehawk]

I don't believe me either..... Gary, I might take you up on that... will keep you posted. I'm such a pussy! I've read through this entire thread (http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7825419) and I'm afraid to kill my knock sensors or fuse box, or use any product in general besides WATER...!

But back on topic, I will still (as stated previously) grab a bunch of 2 liters of soda and some ice and bring it to the fling!

[Harner]

Grab a bottle of Simple Green and put some on a wet rag. Take your time and be careful what you clean. No biggie!

That's what I was honestly thinking... I've done some of it by hand already, I think that's the safest route! Thanks Harner!

[97TransAm]

Thanks guys for picking up on the extra food and soda. The Carol and I appreciate it.



I even cleaned my rockers and spring:


:lol:

[Bow94z]

Ron, you gonna paint ur springs and rockers black?? haha jk

[97TransAm]

Bahahahaha.... you funny. :lol:

Nah, but John (Pampered-Z) did spray paint the new water pump black before we put that on.

Anyways... I need to clean my engine bay for the Fall Fling. John got a couple fingerprints in there when we installed the line locks.

[HibachiZ28]

Wait wait wait.. our cars have to look nice that day? I need a repaint :(

[GreatSave9]

Footballs, volleyball nets, and/or any other type of entertainment besides every car tuning into the same radio station to blast the Eagles game....

[01TransAmChick]

i just officially got taken off the schedule at work for the weekend and have every inentention of skipping school on monday to come home from cleveland for this! so see the crew who's cruising from the warrington crossing theater at 11:25. See you there!!!

[Red1992V6Rs]

I more week. Mark, I didnt hear a reply from u. You going to meet up at the bank?

[Harner]

I've ran into some issues which is raining on my parade with my car. Everything is pretty well buttoned up, but it's idling weird and sticks at like 1500 rpm. I think it's the cheap Summit TB, I'm going to put the stock one back on to see if it goes back to normal. Right now the SES light stays lit, fans running all the time, and it shifts funny. I also detect a slight miss.

Def not cool to drive to the meet. At this point I dont even care if the tires are shot. On a good note, there is a hell of a lot more torque and it sounds great. If I don't make it, I don't make it though. There's always next year!

[HibachiZ28]

Can't wait! I'll be detailing the shitty paint on the Camaro on Saturday. It's nice to have a buffer. ;-)

[Bow94z]

my car will look like ass, prolly wont have time to give it some attention..me and my buddy might spray the car over the winter anyways

[Black Betty]

Also who's bringing the name tags so we can put our Real Name and User Name on it :lol:

[HibachiZ28]

Ah, name tags.. that's key lol... I am horrible with names.

[GreatSave9]

Another idea to throw out, if someone else wants to take lead. Do one of those import type photoshoots. Get the cars, but park them in such wierd and odd places/angles, interlocking some cars and then taking photos. I can't find my example pic though.

[HibachiZ28]

I know what you mean Andrew, but I don't think any of the lots there are large (and empty) enough for that?

I know this isn't what you meant, but I found it while looking for it:



lol.....

[Harner]

[99Hawk6spd]

[GreatSave9]

Andrew better be bringing a football or two :)
Dude u know me, do ya think I own a football? If its not my sweet orange and black whistle Nerf one, then I don't think I have one. I'll look, but I got pucks :)

There's link to google maps.
Directions.

Starts around noon.

I rented pavillion #5 for us all for the day.

:)

[97TransAm]

For those that are clueless looking for the pavillion 5, look for the "F4" sign. Neon orange letter/number on black background. F4= F-body Final Fall Fling.

[01TransAmChick]

see you guys bright and early at the warrington crossing regal then meeting the rest of yas at the park! rick and i just cleaned up the beasts, and im helping out with ali on her car tonight when she gets off of work at midnight...so dont make fun of the possible wax streaks that we missed in shitty 24 hour car wash lighting haha.

10/14/2007 Weather
12pm - 62°F
3pm - 66°F

Its not rocket science but figured I'd map it out for people going from Regal Warrington Thearter.

About 8-9 cars are expected to show up and convoy. I am leaving at 11:25am, and encouraging everyone to do the legal speed limit and not doing anything stupid along the way. Hopefully others respect that and will do the same, if not, group up and go on your own. But also, if we get a light and half get through and half don't, I say keep on going cause there aren't too many places to pull over onto the side of the road on these roads. So if you don't know the area too well, ask to follow someone who knows the area real well like myself. Else it should be short and simple.

[97TransAm]

:jump:
Woohooo!!! It's F4 day and we lucked out with the weather again!!!!
See ya's all real soon...

:peelout: ron

[Tim1970]

lol i hate you all... :twisted:

[Harner]

There better be pictures taken, and lots of them!

[01TransAmChick]

im sure there's over thousands of photos of today and the burnouts and such between everyone's cameras, including video clips. let the videos come along with the pages of online photo albums! today was a blast! happy birthday ron! another success as always! can't wait until next year!!

It was a awesome time :)

[My82Roc]

It was a awesome time :)

Ill second that........I had a great time today.It was an excellent turnout.Cant wait for next year.
The park ranger finally showed up at the very end and a cop also drove thru the lot as we were leaving

[97TransAm]

To all,

Thank you all soooo much for making this event an event once again. Please do not lose sight that it is absolutely nothing without you all showing up. I was hoping, then grateful and then finally blown away with the turnout. When I did a walk through at the "height" of the event, I counted fifty-five (55) vehicles. Already at that point some had slipped off. But the official count by me is at 55. Damn. I was hoping to touch 40. Thanks to all of you, it was an awesome turnout.

Thanks goes out to those of you that brought "stuff". We had sent out my daughter Jessica for more hot dogs... and with some packs that someone brought, The Carol served up over 120. We are both happy that you all ate and we didn't have to cart too much crap back home. We both appreciate those that brought the waters, ice and coolers. There was only half a case of water left and some diet coke.

In all honesty, I was surprised by the cake. Thanks for the moment to "sing" (You all collectively suck) Happy Birthday. Major thanks to Pampered-z's wife Sue for the cake. I think she got the idea from a photo off my website that is also published in a firebird book. I really don't think I am aggressive driver... everyone else drives too slow. Bahahhahahaha. But it wasn't about me, it was all about you people.

The Park Ranger finally showed up at 4:20ish. He came in and exited out of the same entrance, and thus never saw the road. Bahahahhahhahhaha.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this for you all, and will do so again next year for you. And yeah, I let myself to be persuaded to do a burnout.... (Liz)... but I enjoy more watching you all carrying on.

Thanks for the conversations. Thanks for the sight and burning rubber smells. Thanks to all for coming out.

warmly,
ron and "The Carol"

[GreatSave9]

warmly,
ron and "The Carol"Thank you! Thank The Carol and Jess of course, and everyone else who came out to make this a fantastic meet. Just got back from Temple ice hockey game and will do pix soon enough.

Figured in honor of Ron throwing the event, thought I put his pic up first HAHA :) Can ya say, event/meet of the year.
Time to update your Sig ron HAHAHA.

Plethora of people & cars

[Squints88]

amazing picture right there! haha

I'm really sad I missed this one, My niece was christened today so I had to be there for that.

I guess I'll have to wait a year... ugh

[Y2KFirehawk]

We had an awesome time!! Thank you again Ron, "The Carol", and Jessica as well as everyone else who chipped in!! Also thank you to everyone for sacrificing miles off their tread life! The three of us had a great time and it was nice to put faces behind the usernames and cars!

Continuing to honor Ron, here is one of my 450+ pictures ;)

I'm still sorting through them all! Lots of great shots!

[NOGMHERE]

Good times!!

[NOGMHERE]

OH YEAH!!!

[GreatSave9]

OH YEAH!!!


Who invited "That Guy" to crash the party.......And you wonder why we left without ya. J/K Already rummaging my site for pix I see, haha :D

[97TransAm]

:lol: :mrgreen:

okay okay okay... this was all a super secret plot to get photos of me doing burnouts. Thanks!!!! bahahahhahaha.

Yeah, the first time I did it, I checked the right mirror to make sure the right side was working and then I checked the left mirror to make sure the other side of the posi was working and when I looked back into the right mirror... the car was filling up with smoke. So I let the line locks off... now I look at the photos... I start laughing all over....

sweeeettttt!!!!:)

btw Andrew, I'm glad I have a polish on the car. damn is that a nice reflection....

[92KRVZ28]

i think it was definatly a good turn out. may need to find a bigger place soon haha

[NOGMHERE]

Already rummaging my site for pix I see, haha :D

Yeah it was weird ... i think i was on there when you were updating because i kept refreshing it and the picture count kept getting higher.

[91 LS1 Z28]

Thanks Ron and family for setting up the meet and so on and Happy Bday.

[urethralsponge]

nice to see that some people are still respectful of families and such that want to have a relaxing/safe day at a nice park... oh wait, nevermind.

[01TransAmChick]

it was a very relaxing day...what are you talking about???

[urethralsponge]

i was just giving my opinion, that its a little bit a. obnoxious, b. irresponsible, and c. inconsiderate to be doing burnouts of that nature in such a public place where there are lots of other people around... not an attack on anyone, just my opinion.

[01TransAmChick]

but you weren't even there...so you dont know the manner that they were conducted in. i agree, you have a valid point...but 1) you werent there personally and 2) its not like we were doing it on a open fairless well travelled road by many like easton or street road etc.

granted it wasnt a closed road or anything...but efforts were made to maintain a safe but fun atmosphere. children were mostly seen by the pavillion eating, or playing on the jungle jim, but none the less under constant supervision. when a random car would come around the corner, efforts were made to halt all activity, let them go by, then resume.

sorry, burnouts is what some of us like to do....whether its for practical reasons (at the track) or for fun (in this case) its whats we like to do. granted, your completely entitled to your opinion and im not arguing...but you state your opinion and facts...so im bringing mine to the table.

loosen up a little dude, no animal, child, wife, or wallets were harmed by sunday's afternoon "antics". just some plain simple good ol' innocent fun.

[TNTramair]

FUN....absolutely...innocent..well?!? :twisted: ..lol

good time people. great turnout. cant wait for the next one.

urethralsponge...lighten up a little. your acting like you never once did a burnout on a public street or anything.... :roll:

[Y2KFirehawk]

...loosen up a little dude, no animal, child, wife, or wallets were harmed by sunday's afternoon "antics". just some plain simple good ol' innocent fun.

My wife and daughter were personal fans of the burnouts and the exhaust sounds! We even provided a small "family style" burnout for our departure 8) :lol:

[99Hawk6spd]

One of the videos I took. Working on getting them uploaded.

Now that is an intense burnout.

I don't think you understand how dumb you sound sometimes.

[urethralsponge]

liz, i live less than 10 minutes away. i had neighbors ask me if i was there taking part in all of that nonsense, assuming i was simply because i too drive an fbody. my PARENTS were driving through and told me that they freaked out and thought a car was going to lose control and hit them. another neighbor wanted to know what group you guys were... im pretty sure he wanted to call the police.

yeah, ive done burnouts. but i havent done one on a public street since after the first week i got my car.

[Harner]

Listen, if you want to have a stupid debate about burning rubber, take it to The Playground. This is the Events section, where people discuss events, not bitch and moan about pissing people off.

1) Get over it
2) This thread is now locked so everyone please post their media in Multimedia & Rides

Stevethepirate/urethralsponge - I advise you keep the bullshit to yourself. By the sounds of your last post I get a strong vibe of how negative you truly are towards the EPFBA.

There is a time and place to hang out, get together, thrash your cars, have a great time with the EPFBA. They are either at Meets or Car shows. If you need a breakdown on what I just said, shoot me a PM.

Sorry guys, thread's closed. No more bickering.
