Shouldn't that be June 24?

Very cool, I can't wait. WestFest was a lot of run last year, so I got a good feeling about this one.

No, the event is June 24. One month prior is May 24.

WestFest is in June? What happened to July?

quote Originally posted by Fastback 86: WestFest is in June? What happened to July?

This year's show was never in July. The date changes based on the availability of the local venue and local events.

Should I assume that my answer will determine whether or not you will be attending? If so, the answer is "I don' t know".

You are to damned big to be such a puss E.I expect you will make it.I won't be bringing a four banger this time and if you don't show I will tell everyone it was cause you didn't want to be trounced on.

don't think that I'll be able to make it this year. I'm pretty sure I'll be in Hawai'i... soaking up the sun on Oahu for two weeks. I have some friends there, and I'll be staying with my uncle. anyways, y'all gotta tell me what goes down.

Yeah - this event is about seeing lots of shiny Fieros, meeting other Fiero fans, and having a good time. It's not about pushing other's teeth down their throats.

quote Have you ever gone up in the Heavenly tram?

Mary and I have talked about doing that, but I figure that I flew into Tahoe, and had a better view! The lake looks awesome when you're flying over it.

Yes. That is Chris Sideris' car. I PM'ed you his info.

Don't worry about "hijacking" the thread. Anything you post keeps the topic bumped and visible. Talk about anything. Talk about your Aunt Bertha, the stock market, the weather in Tibet...

This will be my first Fiero event and I am really looking forward to meeting you all and seeing your cars.

I am going to leave my aunt Bertha at home, and I hope you guys understand. She gets flatulent at altitude.

Do you know about our Bay Area club, Golden Gate Fieros?

OK....................bumpyty bump...............................

this is my car, as most of you guys know i just bought it back in february and nothing has been done to it after my purchase other than(installed a cd player, and custom short shifter), i know its fugly right now, but can i still show up to watch the show and not be embarassed about how it looks like?

You could show up and not catch a lot of fuzz about your car. The people would probably even help you with it if you ask. I'm pretty new around here, but I haven't seen any nicer people when it comes to working on cars.

sweet, i may be able to go to this one.

You don't have to enter your car in competition. Just show up and have fun. But, please pay us for the food!

Dale is in charge of the website. Unfortunately, he's kinda been out of sight lately. I need him to do the website updates.

I'm on vacation this week, but I'll try to get the info posted here ASAP.

Sounds like a plan............

How about the gang from west coast??

Goobs and Mrs. Goobs,tennessee,chris,mad dog and anthony and the margaritas machine.

What the hell this thread is on page four.The event is only a month and a half away.
And where the heck is spddy with the count down??
And why do I have so many damned questions and who is going to answer them?

When I was down at WCF in late March, Chris said they might cruise up for WestFest, but he wasn't sure yet. His car definately won't be ready, but they were going to try to make it anyway. The rest I don't know about.

Didn't spddy lose hs password?

As far as I know Chris West, Tennessee (Steve), Roy Tolentino, Jess Roque, Roy Benjamins, Chris Sideres and David Haas are going. I don't know about Goobs and Mrs. Goobs and Anthony Sisneros. But we are rit to go ya all. See you all there!!!
