Here is a short video I shot this weekend at Daytona 2007. Here you can see Archie and ExoticSE (Tony) chatting.... Can you name what are Archie's two favorite things? (watch video for answers)
Just a suggestion, but I think the 'fight/fued' pics and videos should be left to another thread or something. No use ruining an otherwise good Fiero pictures/event thread with that other stuff.
Anyway, I can't even imagine seeing that many Fieros in one place at one time. I'm kinda screwed geographically here in Montana. I beleive there's only one other Montana member on this or any other Fiero forum. And I've only ever had the chance to talk Fieros with one other Fiero owner locally. That said, I've never seen any engine swap or modded Fiero for that matter (other than my own). Depending on where I get stationed, maybe I'll be able to make a show or two some day.
Edit: I guess I have seen a fastback with an aluminum wing in town and another with quarter window scoops going the other way on the interstate. Modded I guess. ------------------ My Build Thread

Agreed. Place it in the O/T section.

Yeah we got it running. It was a combination of things involving the fuel pump wires inside the tank and the fuel pump relay.
Glad to hear Jimmy's issue was resolved. We thought it might just be an issue with one of the connectors when it wouldn't start in the hotel parking lot but when it wouldn't start at the speedway I had a feeling that tank was gonna be coming out. I guess the timing was good, couldn't have been a better place for it to happen. Talk about tech support! LOL
A few pics of some other cars there:

Anyone shopping for older muscle would have been in heaven, all of these cars were for sale and what I posted was not even the tip of the iceberg. There were literally hundreds of cars for sale.

Wow, the white widebodies choptop turned out looking pretty good. I'll admit, that for some reason (whether it be camera angle or whatnot) that I saw in the build thread made the whole car look really wierd to me.

Anyone got any pictures of "Wiggles" my miniature chihuahua with any of the Fieros at the Daytona Speedway (I know some people took few pictures... please post if you can... Wiggles is a celebrity dog in Palm Beach. She won Best of Show at the Worth Avenue Pet Parade and Dog Show in Palm Beach earlier this month and was featured few times in local papers - Palm Beach Daily News, Palm Beach Post and Sun-Sentinel. Palm Beach Post featured Wiggles picture in color as big as half a page in the Sunday's paper on March 18th, 2007.
Wiggles loves to ride in my Fieros. Her favorite sitting spot is behind the driver seat by the back window in head rest area.

I've just got to wonder what the visibility with the raked windshield and the white dashboard reflecting off must be. Then again, I don't imagine it ever gets driven for it to be an issue.

See my pics in Page 2. I really enjoyed meeting you and Wiggles. I have a friend with a Chihuahua named Jitters.

The car is far from being finished it’s still a work in progress. The dash will be covered in leather and the white is just a primer coat..
man, i really miss everyone. the hotel is so empty now
You 2 be careful on the way back home, That tire on the passenger front didn't look real good. It was nice to have met the both of you and hope to meet up with you both again sometime.

In that YouTube video, I think Shaun is talking about my car when he says 3800 Supercharged car....you shutup. I think DL10 knows I was messing with him on that forum anyways. I have met him a few times with the Blue Choptop. If I remember I met him at the St. Louis show a few years back. All in fun. Just thought I'd chime in.
Later, Amir

"Thank you " to Archie for allowing me to be a part of his trip to Daytona this year, and " Thank you " to Frank for setting up a wonderful show. It was wonderful to meet quite a few of the faces off of Pennock's and spend some time with them.
The pics above were shot right in turn 3 if I remember correctly, and the show was set up very near turn 4, which has a very special meaning for NASCAR fans. When I realized where we were set up, it kind of sent a chill down my spine as I thought about it. But, the show was still a great treat.
I usually don't get my picture posted on Pennock's ( I'm camera shy ........ and fat ) but I like this pic. Thanks, Kelin. ( Tytehead)
See you all at the Dells Run in June!
Mark

...yea... about that... we made it to S.C....
Tore a peice of the fender with it.. i think i have another though
Had to warn him about the coolant lines, i was just in time he so woulda hit em.. boy that woulda sucked worse...
so now we have 3 215-60-14's and one 185-70-14 (closest they had..) ugh... well.. all in all that was alot less problems than i expected from the duke.. it proved itself quite a bit this trip. we had a blast and it was so awesome hanging out with you guys (and showing off my dance skills) now we have to pay off my credit debt asap!
It's not that bad. After all, I live there. My wholesome goodness just permeates the entire state.
You avatar would seem to suggest otherwise.
Actually, my car ended up on the side of I-95 in SC on the way down. The front air diffuser under my front fascia came loose and was dragging the ground. Once I removed it I was able to hit the road again. Of all the things that COULD go wrong, I was really glad it was a quick fix to get moving again. And surprisingly enough it never overheated - even with the AC on.
