I had so much fun this year that my camera didn't get used much... tisk tisk... here are a couple that I did take... enjoy!

The beginning... arrival at the Hampton for the 8:00am cruise to the Sugar Mill...



At the show... three 350 swaps, Mr. Mike's (go-kart mad-man) tent and the Ferrari/Fiero...



My Fiero lurking in the background...



Part of the field of Fieros... lot's of engine swaps this year... :



Wow on this one... wide-body C3 'Vette... wickedly blown, Power Tour participant...



I'm already looking forward to next year! Nice to see you all again...

The Fiero community wants more pics! I know some of you are holding out!

Greg

Guess I'll post some up here of Fieros

quote Who is from SC that made the trip down?

That would be me!!

Not quite the show it used to be...but had a good time nonetheless. Always good times being around a mass of Fieros.

So what was the final count of Fieros there? I hope to make this show next year. I hope to be moved into the Central Florida area by this Summer.

OK Randye....you redeemed yourself LOL This pic alone made the trip special. Can you email me the pic full size please? Me, Gary and Joe wandered around the swap meet Sunday till about 2:00 I think.

After 14 years of service with a Archie installed SBC, Tom Corys GT is still going strong as shown at the Daytona Show.

It sounds like the Daytona show has dropped a bit in attendance, but I'm sure a good time was had by all.

The economy and high priced gas probably had a lot to do with it.

I did my part to stimulate the Florida economy, I've been there twice in the past month including a week at Disney World. Not to mention the money I need to send the Jacksonville PD. I expectd a Thank you card from your Governor.

53 is a respectable showing of Fieros, not comparable to Carlisle, where up to 100 Fieros might show up, but better than most car shows with Fieros. One would be lucky to have a dozen Fieros in the average car show that has them.
I'm willing to bet that the best part of a show at Daytona has to be the Florida weather and the location of the actual show. In Carlisle it's a crap shoot. It could be sunny, raining or snowing and the temperatures can vary from near freezing to hot and humid. It's a pain to prepare for such variations in weather, not to mention the long drive it takes for me to get there. Once I'm in Florida, these type of events will be a lot closer to go to, plus I get to use my car year round. I can't wait.

Seems like I miss every other year so lookout 2009 will be a good year.

wow.. im suprised there arent any pix of blacktree's rear clip?! or the cool front?! i have to get my pix from the CD my g/f has..

and that black one with flames.. my fav. there by far. SUCH a nice Fiero!

That's fine by me. My car isn't very photogenic right now.

BTW, whose car is the black one with the ghost flames? I kept checking to see if the owner would come back to the car, so I could tell him the car looks awesome. But nobody ever did.

I have pics of Blacktree's rear clip...i will post them later tonight....

That is the problem. This show used to get over 100 Fieros every year until the judging stopped. I guess that for whatever reason seems many like the competition or the challenge to have the chance win somthing or have recognition for their efforts. If judging is what will bring back 100+ Fieros then I'm all for it even if I care less any longer for winning anything. But that is not my decision and it takes a lot of effort from Frank and a lot of volunteers. On the other hand yes we have higher fuel prices (my trip alone was near $90 in fuel only and I live kind of close), maybe some are preparing to attend the 25th and spend the $$ in that trip, etc. Still was nice to see a full lot of Fieros even if I didn't have too much time to be by my car or look closer to some nice mods. There is so much to see/buy there that one day is way too short

If Archie had made it this year I would have made more of an effort, its all his fault. I have a bad intestine infection that flared up Friday and Saturday so I wasn't going to try and go just to be in pain all day.
I think gas prices above anything else was the reason the car count was down. Most people are only going to one show a year now so it cuts down on the numbers.

That car belongs to GODFATHER

I think the lack of judging and the drop from over a 100 Fieros is a coincidence. People were griping pretty hard about the judging and I enjoyed the show a lot more as a show n shine.

I think $3.40 a gallon gasoline has more to do with it. Combined with most people have circled the 25th on their calendar and are saving for that.

I would have made the trip this year were it not for the fact that 1) I just spent a week in central Florida one week earlier, 2) I'm saving up for the 25th, and 3) I don't have a running Fiero to bring to the show.

Looks like I dumped the clutch and wasted a lot of rubber and clutch - the first part of the burnout is missing! But it was tons of fun - Thanks Clem!
