Oregon/Washington Mini Meet Anyone?

[Techy-D]

If anyone is interested we have a car show going on in Newberg Oregon on June 16th. I've typically taken my 73 Challenger, but this year I've got a new toy (My VX of course) and thought some of you would like to show up as well (Really giv'em something to see!). We've been putting this on for quite a few years and it draws a lot of cars and people, we even have most of the bugs worked out so everything seems to go pretty smooth.

Did I mention Free food! Tube Steaks if you can call that food So, come and see even if you don't enter your rig (Entry's like 5bucks and included a Dash plack, Door Prizes, Awards, ...)


It looks like they don't have the new flyer up yet, but here's the link to last years event (It just says the wrong day, so remember it's actually SATURDAY the 16th!!!)

Dude, that sounds great!

Just one problem: I want to see your VX AND your '73 Challenger! I wouldn't mind driving that beast...can you get a second driver to bring the Dodge to the meet?

I even have that Saturday open, which is strange for a wedding photographer.

I may have to visit Fabulous Newberg: "Gateway to Yamhill!"

Great to hear you have that weekend open. As for the Challenger - I was thinking about that and... Yeah, the Dodge'll probably make it. It hasn't even been out of the garage yet this year. (Don't get wwwaaaayyy to excited, cuz it's not all that perfect, but a Petty Blue, 340, pistol grip 4speed, Rally car is cool anyway)

Bump

I sent a PM to a couple of you around town. Hope they got to you (With the site going down and all).

Hey Eric, Mapquest says 2 hour and 22 minutes from Olympia, 138 miles.

I'm game. Techy, what time is the show and what time would we need to be there so we can set up together?

I verified that things are the same as last year. (That's why I didn't get back to ya right away)
Show up about 10:00, that gives about an hour+ or so before the crowd start showing up (Gives us time to get setup, signed up,...). If we know you are coming, but a little later, I'll leave space for ya, so we can have our rigs together.
It officially starts at 12:00noon, and goes till 4:00.
We could probably go grab some Pizza or something afterwards if you guys are not in to much of a hurry to head back.
I'm getting excited already!

Just so you don't have to completly miss out, I found a picture of the Challenger from last year (when it was like... Mostly clean)!


Also a picture of the 3 VX's at Burgerville USA on Friday Night before the Car show. Pictured left to right (Rowhard, Techy-D, JAFO)

Derek, very nice, wish you had drove that but then I wouldn't have been able to do your cladding. I mentioned the Barrett-Jackson Auction that you have never watched. here is what a 1973 Dodge Challenger Coupe went for last year, not to say yours could sell for this much and you have how many cars hanging around your property. You might just want to do a search of their site to see what you have then maybe you will want to build that barn to put them in.

Wowser - Yeah I'd be happy to sell mine for that!
Maybe if I hold on to it and restore it I could retire early.
I do need to build a nice shop where I can restore my babies. By the way it's in a garage, (just a small one and not in Newberg).
Thanks again for the compliments.

Where, in Newberg, is this car show taking place? How many VX people are planning to show up?

[rowhard]

I'm up for a tillamook burger, but make mine a vanilla malt. No promises that I'll be there in time though but will certainly do a drive by and park. Little Laurie, hope it's at the same place as last year. here are the directions from the poster:

DIRECTIONS: West bound on hwy 99, just before you enter the downtown area of Newberg. Make a right turn on Villa Road. Travel down Villa till you come to Newberg Christian Church located on the left.

number of vx's, well, me, TechyD, JAFO, so far and hope you. JGeorge264 across the river from you might be down for a burger and check out the show.

Hope to see you there, might be fun

[Techy-D]

Rowhard - Right on with the directions! (Villa is at a light - big intersecton so easy to find). The church is at the end of villa by a big open field, so again easy to find. There should be plenty of signs, with arrows, as well.

If anyone needs a map: http://www.newbergcc.org/Map.aspx

Also Burgerville is on the south side of 99W near the East end of Town (near Elliott Rd.)

LITTLELAURIE - Come on over! There'll be lots of cars, and looks like a nice # of VX's as well. (At this rate it doesn't look like my Challenger will make it, but PHO2G4 isn't either, so... I guess he won't be disapointed)

JGeorge264 - Same goes for you, come on over! A fun way to fill a Saturday!

JAFO - Burgerville? If Rowhard may be sliding in a little later we could aim for more of a 6:15/6:30 ish (I'll probably show up and hang in the parking lot till someone arrives - if Nobody by 7:00 I'll have eaten and see ya Saturday ).

[rowhard]

Good news, I will be leaving Olympia sooner then planned so will make it in time unless the bridge is out

[JAFO]

I'll be there. I haven't managed to get the VX clean yet. But I still have tonight and tomorrow morning.

I did manage to remove the roof rack in preperation for cleaning, and I'll have it back on for the show. Especially since I can't find the coverings. My problem is I put them somewhere I wouldn't loose them.
