Few posts back someone mentioned the opening weekend at the Glen and wondered what paced laps were. They are single file behind the pace car. 60 MPH plus, depending on the pace driver. Its plenty to feel the turns and have some fun. Particularly if you bend the "hang back" rules some. I have done in over the course of a number of years, in my Fieros, in a BRZ, and maybe this year in my Charger if I feel so inclined.
Zorbas, great place! If I catch it and something is planned I would swing by.
Rich, I would say yes, we last got together before Larry sold his purple GT. Those were some good times! Darksyde is still around, but I do not think his Fiero is on the road (but I could be wrong).
No Fiero anymore, so I do not check in here a ton. Sold the last one a couple years ago. Still love them, and if the right one came along maybe it would find its way to my garage... but it would have to be pretty specific (lowish mileage red 88 Formula).

That's okay.... My brother is still taking good care of your other formula. He got it painted last year, and continues to make minor tweaks here and there....

That's good! Last I knew he was looking to have it painted. I am glad he has it, since I figured it was destined for scrap when I sold it those years ago with the dead motor.
Hey guys, sorry but haven't paid attention to this thread. Any date works for me. I think 4/30 was mentioned. Does that work for everybody that wants to go ?
4/30 would be a squeeze but I may be able to sneak over for a red hot! (between daughter's swim practice, and daughter's friends birthday party). lol
Did any of you guys hit Watkins Glen for their opening weekend? I saw a couple Fieros, Ontario plates, but not too many.

I know one wouldn't be present for me. I do not own one anymore (I have owned 3 over a 15 year period). Still enjoy catching up with the Fiero faithful now and then!

Sounds like a plan. I'll be driving my grandpa looking Buick Lucerne but at least it has a Northstar. Lol. My 87GT is no where near driveable yet. The Indy is still in the garage with tons of swap and replacement parts still in boxes piled up to the ceiling ! It's amazing how a couple back surgeries can slow things down. As long as my back isn't acting up I'll be there. So Saturday at 11:00 AM it is. It's gonna be nice to meet some of you. Bring some antacid with you for the ride home. That Zorbas Texas hot sauce can sneak up on you. Lol See you all there who can make it.

Hope you make it... I can use some advice with my GT (my first 6 cyl Fiero)
I never made it to the Glen. Car simply wasn't ready. Considering Carlisle (?) and put in for the time off work, but not sure car will be ready for the drive. Anyone else from WNY going?

Damn the torpedos! Errrr antacid.
Drive whatever will make it. We can plot getting one of your Fieros on the road.
Pretty funny Rich, I forgot about that commercial. My Buick moves pretty good for a boat. Not sure about getting the Fieros on the road now. Me and the GF are not getting along very well due to her loser lazy kids. Might have to bite the bullet and sell the cars to get an apartment. This sucks because I was so close to starting the 3800SC swap and then finishing up the Indy in the winter. To bad I didn't have somewhere to store them for about a year. By then I should have my settlement and means to pay cash for a house with pole barn. Oh well, guess I won't need the pole barn now. Lol
looks like I can`t make it, I had to reschedule an appointment from Sunday to Saturday. I`ve got someone interested in buying one of my cars so hopefully it works out well.
If later in the day is better for everybody lets figure this out. I'm pretty flexible time wise. Maybe everybody who would like to meet up can post a time that's good for them and we can take it from there.

I can do late afternoon Saturday, or Sunday AM. Just say when guys...
I have plans later on Saturday, so anything later wouldn't really work .... Sunday I would be available from about the same time, 11:00 AM on ..... Rich
I can do either... the weather looks better for Saturday tho.
Just make the call.... someone lol
Saturday is actually better for me..... and weather is consideration I say we go with Saturday at 11 and if you can make it great, and if not maybe next time.
Ok guys, so the original plan of 11:00 AM on Saturday. Sounds like we have a plan. All that can make it show up. I'm sure we'll do it again. See you guys there.
