I expect to be moving to the Bowling Green, KY area soon. Is there a club or even a following?
Let me know if you are in the area.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited myself.
NCM just built a motorsports part and I may actually get to use my IMSA. Every Corvette community could use a little Fiero influence. But seriously, Bowling Green is a car town and I think that will be super cool. Bowling Green Assembly was a direct customer of mine for about 5 years, so I have made many business trips to the plant floor. They build Corvettes, but I received a very warm welcome when I showed them pictures of the IMSA. Many people told me of fond memories they had of Fieros. Not what I expected at the time, but very cool.
Planning on building a bigger shop too.
Any PFF members in the area?

^ What T Shark said. Good luck with your new home and send some pics of your new building with the Fieros in it. When you hook up with the KY guys you have to tell them the story on the engine build on your race car, that was a cool story. Will miss ya in the Stl.

Came in behind a guy with a purple 84 one morning. He's working on finishing installing the GT ground effects. There's a black Formula that runs around from time to time. Just down the road at a locksmith the owners wife has a 87 GT 5sp that is in excellent shape that they bought out of Louisville. I've seen a white 87/88 GT too, but couldn't pull a U-turn to catch'em. They're scattered, but present.
Looking forward to seeing/talking to you, Paul.

Thanks guys.
I have been in the STL area for about 17 years. This will be a big change. Moving a whole family - Wife and 3 kids. The area looks fantastic. I'll be moving my stuff over the course of the next month... stuff the movers won't touch. I figure I will be making 6 or 7 trips with the 20 box. Tomorrow I'll get it ready for the miles. Sorry I didn't get to spend much time with you guys in the "new" STL club. I did enjoy our outing last year. Great group, I just didn't have time because of work.
I looking forward to meeting with you too, Paul (my name is Paul too so that will be easy to remember ) There is a remote possibility you could see me drive by on weekends during the month of June. I'm driving a blue '94 Suburban pulling a silver 20 box trailer with "Hosler High Performance" on the side of it. It has a white a home made aero-nose that can be seen from a distance too. If you're in your Fiero and I see you, flash the lights or something, and I'll stop. You know, standard practice for Fiero owners. Who knows, maybe I'll be hauling the IMSA. I have 4 vehicles to bring before the daily drivers come down.
I'll be working just north of town starting in July.
Hoping to get some track time in next year at NCM Motorsports Park. I also want to take the kids to the Corvette Plant for a tour. I still know a few people from the days when they were my direct customer and really want them to see what an assembly plant looks like. Cool stuff.

Paul,
Is your shop going to be located somewhat close to the Corvette Plant? Louisville Rd. / Porter Pike (Hwy 68/80)?
I don't get on that side of town much, so I'll probably miss you coming through. [This message has been edited by kyunderdawg (edited 06-05-2015).]
