| This was just something that popped into my head with the people not being able to make the meet-greet events sometimes. Would there be any interest here in everyone having an impromptu and no-strings attached meet up every few weeks at different cruise nights or shows around the area, then hitting up a restaurant or something on the same night? I love going to the cruises but last year I might've gone to five total the whole year, I just didn't have any ambition because friends would be working, and no more GF to drag along or anything like that... I usually go to Danvers, Kitty's in North Reading, there used to be a cool unorganized big one in Tewksbury on Route 38 but that fizzled out a few years ago it seems (someone told me all the people who went there now go to a different one up around Lowell???), Kimball Farm (people with cars go free, spectators have to pay ), and so on. I am sick of going to the same shows all the time, because sometimes you see the same 25 cars with some randoms that only come out once every few months, I'd like to hit up some shows in NH, southern Maine, etc. I went to the Riley's in Framingham one a few times on Saturdays and that seemed to be pretty big, it was in about 4 parking lots. I also go to the swap meets and shows like the Amherst NH one and there is a BIG one at Fitchburg Airport coming up next month that I went to last year, it was great because it was the first show of the year essentially, nice to get out and enjoy the newfound nice weather early in the day and see some cool old cars/parts/crap. lol Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, feel free to weigh in. In my opinion the best shows are the ones you don't have to pay to put YOUR car into, you're providing the entertainment! | |

In september is 4130 and Twisted Styles There used to be shows every thursday night down in Easton and Norton. I have not been to this one since 95 when I got kicked out for having too new of a car. It would alternate each week. This is however the first time I have heard of car shows in Foxborough. Is it held at the stadium, or the End Zone? And of course the there was one in Westford that was held once a month or twice a month on wedndays just for b-bodys held by the Black Knights. I think I went twice. Billy C may know more about it. The last time I went there was in 2000 |

| Alternating weeks in Foxboro at the stadium (technically at Bass pro shop)
Alternating weeks at Southeastern Regional Vo-Tech in Easton
Kimbell farm has shows
Cape Cod Tech in Bourne has a show for those who want to go to the cape
There's one in Canton on 138 but it's not very good
There's one at the Wal-mart in Avon but it only draws the local Vette club
There's an annual one at the Brockton Fairgrounds in the summer
There's one in Hanover at the bldg 19 but it only draws about 15 cars
If anyone wants more info on any of them you need to wait till I get back on my computer because it has all the links. | |

The alternating car show used to be South eastern Regional Vocational High school (Graduated there in 1986 myself), and the Honey Dew donuts in Norton. It is cool that they moved it to Foxborough. Honey Dew's parking was to small. |

| I'd be game for one or two a month anyways. It's gonna depend a lot on family stuff now. I only hit a handful last year!
And from what I understand, Black Knights has disbanded.
There's a pretty kickass show every Friday night at the Target in Nashua. Sometimes there's 300 cars! | |

Was I ever there with my 96? My son Matt usually makes me clean it up a little a few times a year & take him so he can walk around in all his glory Of course he just wants to go to the show & I refuse to show up dirty, so it works out ok | |

| Haha, last time I was at Kittys I swear I saw a BBB Impala there. I went to some Snap-On sponsored show there too that my friends hit up because they knew the Snap On guy from work or something like that. I like Kitty's better than Fuddruckers (which I used to go to before), there is more room to park and you don't have to pay to drive in there. I'd love to hit up the Nashua show, I'd heard about some huge show up that way but was never sure which one it was. Does anyone know what happened to the people that went to Osco's in Tewksbury? They must've gone someplace. There is a show out in western MA along Route 2 I was going to head out for a couple of times, just because I like to drive out on the old Route 2. Brad I used to have that list of cruise nights in my car on a printout, so if I ever got pulled over for driving with antique plates, I could say I was going to one of them. | |

The craziest show I ever went to was a thing called the Road Agents Rumble in Hartford. Had cars from all over the country, it went for 2 days long (including the night in between) and was ALL rat rods and customs. After the first day of the show people would converge on this lot between 2 hotels, and have burnout contests, flamethrowing shows, people were drinking beer and ordering pizzas to the lot to be delivered at cars, the show allowed open containers, it was just crazy. So much fun, but they stopped having it because the place that hosted the event got seized for tax issues I believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOuU7K9u2X0 This was a guy from Peabody, MA, but I'm pretty sure he's since sold this car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqNwP8ycspY | |

| That Road Rumble show sounds an awful lot like the ISSCA Nats, too. | |

| Chicopee has two in the spring/summer. One on Wednesdays and another on Thursdays. Both draw decent crowds, the Thursday one is bigger. | |
