Dragginwagon467 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Is it too early to start planning for a three day First-Gen MC meetup at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH next year for the Blue Suede Cruise (probably early-July)? If you haven't been, it a great time to show, watch, and race...whatever your flavor, as long as it's 1972 and older, it's there. There was at least 6 First-Gen Monte Carlos there this year, on Saturday alone, I think with just a little planning, we could lock down an entire block of the parking area. Who thinks this is a solid possibility? I've created a post about it in the Facebook group Monte Carlo 1970-1972, I will share in other groups as well. There's a lot of interest, make it one day if you can...last year was my first trip, I'm going to try to attend all three days and camp on site. The facility does offer shower access. http://www.summitmotorsportspark.com/events/1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 We had our Eastern Meet at Norwalk a few years ago. Was a very good time and only 6 hours form my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Sounds like a plan Larry.

Rob Peters Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I tired to search for when the Norwalk show would be next year (2022) but could not find it. I hope it does not conflict with the Eastern Meet in Carlisle. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragginwagon467 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Dates are set for the 2022 Blue Suede Cruise. I’m planning on camping Friday and Saturday night.

Rob Peters Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Everyone please keep in mind, for this to be a FGMCC Mini-Meet everyone attending would have to be a dues paying member. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 Merry Christmas everyone! To be clear, this will not be an official FGMCC Mini-Meet. This event will be a group of like-minded people with similar interests converging on what I would call one of summer's "must attend" events as gearheads. Other "must attend" events listed below the image. Tickets are on sale now (I don't believe the event will ever sell completely out, but there will likely be 3000+ pre-'72 Hot Rods and show cars in attendance) To purchase tickets - click this Web link to Summit Motorsports Park website (or search it up yourself on the web for you untrusting souls (like myself)): The direct ticket link can be found from their website here - Web link. Pick the day(s) you plan to attend. Other events I would consider as "must attend" for gearheads would be: Woodward Dream Cruise (Detroit-to-Pontiac, MI) - Web link, Facebook link Frankenmuth Auto Fest (Frankenmuth, MI)- Web link, Facebook link Cruisin' State Street Car Show (Fremont, OH) - Facebook link Looks like we have about 20 First-Gen Monte's looking to attend the Blue Suede cruise at this point - let's keep the interest going! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 There’s about 25 signed up, and I have a good idea that there are a few people coming who aren't on Facebook as well. Should be a strong turnout. Please keep in mind, in order to park close to each other, we will all have to pay for the: "Car Show 1978 & Older Street Rod Entry At The Gate — $55 (Includes 2-weekend adult, unlimited 15 & under tickets).” - see bold below Otherwise, I believe you end up on the pit side rather than the car show side. I don’t believe it should be any problem to pay the day of the show. https://www.summitmotorsportspark.com/events/11290?fbclid=IwAR2ciQNndg-LwMedf9bZR9zur9RZPj2Y1Tg7tqLH8XhOxbBnt1AC5YL-538 Friday, July 29 1-Day Adult — $20 1-Day Child 6-12 — $5 1-Day Child 5 & Under — Free Saturday, July 30 1-Day Adult — $25 1-Day Child 6-12 — $5 1-Day Child 5 & Under — Free Sunday, July 31 1-Day Adult — $20 1-Day Child 6-12 — $5 1-Day Child 5 & Under — FREE 3-Day Adult — $60 3-Day Trackside Electric Motorhome — $200 3-Day Trackside Non-Electric Motorhome — $150 3-Day Wilson’s Fence Row — $100 3-Day Primitive Camping — $80 Free Parking Free Pit Pass Car Show 1978 & Older Street Rod Entry At The Gate — $55 (Includes 2-weekend adult, unlimited 15 & under tickets) Car Corral — $60 (1-weekend adult ticket) 20’ x 35’ Swap Space — $60 (1-weekend adult ticket) 20’ x 60’ Vendor Space — $250 (2-weekend adult tickets) 10’ x 10’ Women’s World Space — $75 (2-weekend adult tickets) Drag Racing NDRL Pro 7.00 — $100 NDRL Pro 7.50 — $100 NDRL Pro Comp — $100 NDRL Pro Gas — $100 Gasser Madness Nostalgia Gas — $75 Gasser Madness Competition Gas — $75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boyte Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 The Blue suede cruise is a fantastic show. We have enjoyed doing this show several times, and I would have to say, it's one of the best times that you will have. Every make and model that you can imagine and then some, will be represented. And few very impressive head scratchers, to say the least . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 As it sits, we have x15 First-Gen Monte Carlos coming on Saturday, a few others on Friday and/or Sunday. It will be a decent turnout and Bill said he will accommodate us parking together in the car show. I know a few will be into the fun runs…which are low pressure and they allow passengers. It will be a fantastic time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragginwagon467 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 X20 on Saturday confirmed, my guess is that we could see at least 2-3 more (not on Facebook or other social media). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
