Event is now entered in calendar. Will edit with more entry info when I can get it. Follow here for pre- event planning and BS.

:florida: :beer:

Super Chevy was the last event I attended with Miami Nice old whitey, I'm thinking about trailering the Caballero to this one as it will not be titled for a while, this will give my nephew Cristian(14) a chance to show off his new ride and start looking for parts needed.

Received an email from Super Chevy Show head of clubs and parking.The NECOA has official been entered as an attending club for the 2012 show. Remember we were the club winner last year for the most cars. Get your calendar marker and lets win it again.

:bump:

Had a good time last year at PBIR,except for the heat & noise,don't know if I'll go this year,at least they moved it up so it might be cooler,but they need to put mufflers on those drag racers,let's see where did I put my ear plugs.

I remember when I used to put a speaker by each ear and turn on the Doors at full blast, now our age group is complaining about drag racing being loud!
Chris I'll take some ear plugs for you, I don't hear that well anymore, I think Ligth my Fire took care of that, Tony.

:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

We went up to Daytona Thursday,where NASCAR was doin' testin'.Boy that really cleaned the ears out.We were standin' 10 feet from where the cars were goin' over 200 mph,near turn 4. They were runnin' single cars,& pairs & double pairs.Sounds good not like drag racin',don't get me wrong,I love drag racin',but with 2 cars takin' off every 20 seconds for hours & hours,was just a wee bit too much.My wife & I are big Nascar fans.Our favorite drivers are Tony Stewart,Ryan Newman,Earnhart Jr.Last year Tony did good after following him for many years.Still not decided bout PBIR,we'll see.

I have received an email from Super Chevy to confirm our Club attendance and car count for the Palm Beach Show.

So for all that are going and or a maybe please respond so we get enough room for our CLUB cars, last year the space was not enough when all the El Camino's at the show tried to get in the area set for our model.

I'll be there! :beer:

I'm not going to make this one, but am planning for Bradenton and the one the weekend after that.

OK, I just checked the calender and as it turns out, I'm an idiot.

I already knew that but its now confirmed.

I AM planning on making that show but not the cars of dreams show.

My poor little mind got confused.:dontknow:

Needed a quick count on attendance for the Super Chevy Parking Crew no one is on the site much lately or ? So I will tell them to go with the same amount of spots as last year and we get what is set up. 15 to 20 should work

Is there a registration online or just show up?

Just show up. and that is an order!

Yes Sir.:poke:

Hopefully everything will go as planned with the paint and I will get to attend this one and the Bradenton NMCA event.

i plan to be there

Does anyone in the central/north area want to meet up and drive down together?

What about motels in the area?

Any best choices?

On a completely different subject, my next post will be Magic Number "396"

Sean my intent will be to stay at Hotcamino's little Motel again this year on Singer Island. CJ and Tootie stayed there last year too as well as Edonthebeach and we also had a little quickly planned cookout on Saturday evening after the long day at the track. Not all were up for preplanning that part but there was quite a group in attendance when it was put together quickly by the 'Mayor and First lady'. There was also a group meet for dinner at a local restaurant that was awesome on Friday evening.

It is a small mom and pop motel on the beach that is owned and operated by one of the best Mom and Pop couples you will ever meet! try www.oceansurfmotel.com (http://www.oceansurfmotel.com) Or look for the link on Hotcamino's profile if I got it wrong...Aka Glenn...aka The Mayor...etc. Lenny and Skinyfisher will be staying nearby and 464Elky also lives nearby...FLKymino is a bit further south and will commute. Some will drive in from a bit further for Saturday only. Glad to have you as a part of this meet this year!

:beer:

yeah, i'm stayin' at glenns' place. the saturday night burger bit id great!

Ok I will want to get some things together and can take them along since I will go down Friday. Hope C.J and Tootie get in on this part. C.J. and Glenn at the grill on Saturday evening were as great as the day at the track and show last year! We can give the hosts a break and do it this time. I was thinking to add sausage sandwiches this time...Easy enough to saute the peppers and onions in the room since they all have kitchens. We'll figure it out.

:beer:

Hope Sean comes to stay there too. Maybe he is back North to Alaska right now?

I used to live 10 minutes from Moroso/PBIR. As long as you get a hotel in the Palm Beach Gardens area, which will have the closest hotels to PBIR anyway, they should all be nice. Ill be there Sunday.

Yep, you guessed it Randy. Back at work for 4 weeks. Don't have much for internet at the moment but Singer island sounds great. Can anyone get ahold of Glenn and make a reservation for me and my daughter?

Never mind. I went to their website and got phone number. Will call them tomorrow. Thanks for the link.

Ok, got a room booked for Friday and Saturday nights at Glenns motel.

Not sure what time I'll make it in on Friday but I'll be there.

Good deal Sean!:beer:

the Saturday Night Awesome Burger Event is coming together. everybody who's planning on attending that event will need to chime in - we'll need a head count!

(heard from CJ - he's coming around a little bit everyday. hoping he gets it all together for this event)

:bump: The numbers are in for the group discount on registration thanks to Carretera. Skinyfisher has the group parking all squared away. Only 2 things left to dial in...A dinner out for the Friday arrivals perhaps? And getting the Saturday evening BBQ squared away. I will be a Friday arrival and want to get some things together before hand. Mignon (and family) did an awesome job putting the cookout together on short notice last year! The task is on us this time...Of course Glenn can still cut the cheeze...lol

:beer:

Friday night dinner, Lenny and I have gone to a very casual BBQ several times, its not to far from the Cars of Dreams Museum area. Will have to get a hold of Lenny and see if that works for everyone. NOTE it is not a Dinner HOUSE just an easy simple and not to costly $$$. If this sounds good I will call him chime in

I'm in for the Flip-a-burger. Who needs to bring what in the way of food and supplies?

almost forgot I will be at the burger bash also on Sat

Friday nite dinner...PGA and US 1 DUFFY'S...they have a "Private" room.
The noise from the rest of the restaurant is elimanated.
If interested, let me know and I'll see if I can hook us up???? :beer:

Randy , a Saturday cookout at the Mayor` and Mignon`s motel sounds good to me and I will help chip in for food , etc. Friday at Duffy`s also sounds good . The place Jay was talking about is the Park Avenue Resturant I believe on A1A . Duffy`s sounds better for the group as I was there at Park Avenue recently and it has been very busy . Thanks to all of you that are attending Super Chevy and for keeping the info coming as I have been swamped with computer issues and dealing with the fire . :You_Rock:

Duffy's it is then.

:beer:

Not 100% sure about dinner on Friday.

I'll be there sometime on friday, just not sure when.

My daughter gets out of school at 2pm and she will need to get her stuff together, then the drive down.

Got Duffy's "Private Room" reserved for El Camino guys...Fri 23rd at 7:00 pm.:beer:
What's the head count? The room seats as many as 15 ?

We finally bought an enclosed car hauler and will be at Super Chevy on Sunday. It will be the first show we have been able to take the IROC to in 4 long years.

About time you come and meet up with us!

Kool...can't wait to see the IROC ! :You_Rock:

That`s wonderfull news !!! :You_Rock:

Looks like Carretera is going to lose his title of Trailer Queen of the El Camino Group.

Sorry Tony !!!!!:poke: with a :beer:

El Chromeo , You are right that Tony may have to relinquish his title of Trailer Queen , but we better watch out or he could just pull out another barbeque grill and fire it up in the middle of a car show . :poke: . Glenn , Duffy`s sounds good and put me down for one . I will ask if my sister and her boy friend want to come but it is too early to call her as she does not do mornings . Should be easy enough to find with my new fancy GPS I have :dontknow: . Looking forward to seeing Sean and his daughter as well as the IROC .

Glenn, I will follow the group for dinner, as it looks like my host "Lenny" is not cooking !!!

I'm in of course! I'm pretty certain that Yuyi will be along too.

:beer:

About time you come and meet up with us!
It's been a long time coming and we've missed a lot of great Florida shows, but we're mobile now. We were supposed to go to the Turkey Run at Daytona last November...we had a trailer deal lined up and all, but the seller sold it to someone else from underneath us the day we were supposed to pick it up. Everything happens for a reason, and we ended up getting a much better trailer at a great price. http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o547/IROCelky/IROC/DSC_0555.jpg

http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o547/IROCelky/IROC/DSC_0552.jpg

it'll be neat to see that!

it'll be neat to see that!
You'll be able to see two of them. My buddy who owns one of the IROC replicas will also be bringing his to the show. He owns one of the 1986's that was sent back to Choo Choo by a dealer to be converted into an IROC, so it's not one of the 15 numbered IROCs, but it has the paint scheme and the roll bar. It's a small world...as rare as the IROCs are, at one time four of them were owned in South Florida at the same time (#001, #12, and two of the un-numbered ones that were sent back to Choo Choo by dealers to be converted).

Here's his 383 super-charged IROC that will be at Super Chevy.

E-Man , I`m very happy that we will get to see BOTH El Caminos at S.S. ! I understand that you are selling your 85 and was wondering if you are also bringing it or is it too much to do it ? I am leaving for the NMCA show in Bradenton in the morning so may be out of computer access till after Super Chevy the following week in Palm Beach , unless I can borrow a laptop .

My old man is still selling his '84 Choo Choo. It won't be at S.S. because we're all going to ride to the show in my truck with the trailer in tow, but Ill have him bring pics of it.

Count us in for Duffy's.cj & tootie:beer:

If dinner is at 7pm, then count my daughter and I in for Duffy's.

Planning on rolling into the Ocean Surf at 5-5:30pm.

Good deal Sean! It will already be happy hour then :beer:

Good deal Sean! It will already be happy hour then :beer:


When you own an Elky its ALWAYS happy hour.

Just realized that this is post #454, my favorite number.

Off topic but on Thurs. I chased down a green 71 here in Lakeland and invited him to join the club and to the Super Chevy show.

Not sure if he will or not, but seemed like a really nice guy.

Manager at an AutoZone store.

We welcome any from clunker to chrome Sean! And you already know that Misty Meaner will have just as good of a time there even though she aint misty blue right now. You've got even more to do this week to get ready than I do. The dinner Friday evening is set and I intend to bring darned near everything for the Saturday evening cookout with me. I kind of have more grocery shopping to do than mechanical things it seems :dontknow:.

More tomorrow on the proposed menu for all to review.

:beer:

I have some "special" bbq chips I'm bringing to the flip-a-burger.

Thats all I will say about them other than they are mail order.

Misty is now getting her headers and pypes system, then back window goes in and bolt on the bumpers and door handles and I'm ready to go.

I won't be able to bring the tent.Does anyone else have access to one?:beer:.cj

Ouch! The shade tent is a must there and we need 2 of them. If nobody else has them, I'll see if I can arrange something.

Here is the sort of plan for the cookout:

Enough burgers w or wo cheeze (24?)...a dozen grilled sausage sandwiches. I'll saute the peppers and onions for them there...I plan to make baked beans and some potato salad and probably macaroni salad. Much better than store bought and can be made ahead of time because they are better next day...and 2 days...I'll make all of that Thursday. Sean is bringing those BBQ chips and I'll get regulars and some dip...Whatever other snack things...Sodas and water to go with beer and wine...I'm gonna bring a couple of bottles a what seems to be a good Pinot Grigio...CJ may have his box of the other stuff handy. I have the condiment and utensil stuff on my list etc. Pretty much all thats left to figure out is dessert type things. Maybe that is something that should be aquired on the way from the track, along with ice that will be needed for sure.

Further thoughts, requests, or suggestions welcomed! I have a full day tomorrow wrenching on the cruck...Shopping and cooking and cruck cleaning on Thursday to come down Friday.

SOMEONE CHIME IN THAT IS ABLE TO BRING TENTS, one or two but we really need two !!!!!!!!!!!
any is better than none let us know soon.

OK Sean has the chips and dip under control. Yes CJ and Tootie will be there Friday. All of us there can finish dialing this in for the meal Saturday evening.

:beer:

I see that this groups is in Florida is any one going to the turkey rod run the 30 thru 1st

Turkey Rod Run is Nov 22 thru 25

Theres a spring Turkey Run coming up soon, not sure when but I remember I will be at work then and will miss it.

YES there is a show and they call it the SPRING ?????? I was referring to the Thanksgiving TURKEY ROD RUN.

There is a March show at Daytona International Speedway every March.I don't know the exact dates this year.But has almost as many cars as the November Turkey Rod Run.It probably coincides with the Super Chevy Show at Palm Beach International Raceway which most of our members will be attending.I have attended both the Nov.& Mar. shows in the past.Usually around 5000-6000 cars.I've walked those shows all day long & never seen even a quarter of the cars.I also attended PBIR last year.It was very good & met a lot of the region 6 members.

Oh,the March show does not go by Turkey Rod Run.Spring Rod Run ?

What ever name was there many elkys there?

Ocean Surf has utensils, plates, cups...paper towels.
Ice available 3 blocks down the street at "Grator Gator".
Looks like another "Great CookOut"...don't miss it!:beer:

:beer:

Ok scratching those off of the list. Thanks Mayor!

:beer:

What ever name was there many elkys there?

As I remember there are always a few ,but are not parked together,they are scattered thru out the show.

Misty is running good got most of the must-haves on like bumpers and rear window.

Chips and dip bought......

I'm ready, lets do this thing.

Yee haw!!! I got all of the shopping done today too for the BBQ. Some quick attention to the 'cruck', which looks so strange to me with the origanal wheels on it...lol A little bit of prep cooking tonight and some in the morning before I head down...And the weekend is on!!!!

:beer:

What time and where are we meeting on Sat? Or are we just meeting inside? :dontknow:
Sunday too

Camino class parking is reserved, so just get there Saturday. Just heard from Careterra and Rich, from M&M was in an accident with his Elky...He is in the hospital. Tony and hopefully Rich will be there Sunday. Hope that some of the Saturday only bunch will hang and head to Singer Island for our BBQ Saturday evening...Including our new member guests, the Ballesteros family. Also looking forward to the E-man and others who will be there Sunday only.

:beer:

OK I have finally confirmed that Yuyi will come and she will bring 2 shade tents along from Miami. I believe we have all in order now...:nanawrench:

Just heard from Careterra and Rich, from M&M was in an accident with his Elky...He is in the hospital.
Rich was in the accident? I only have his office number...keep us updated on how he's doing.

The Super Chevy show today was good, got to meet some of you and put faces to names. My grandson and I stayed til dusk seeing the jets and wheelstanders too. Neil thanks for the good words on running a mechanical clutch linkage today. That was a shot of encouragement and again meeting some of you personally. My rides got a long way yet but I will hit the trails with you guys once it's together.
