    NEW ENGLAND’s LARGEST ALL-MOPAR CAR SHOW & SWAP MEET

    I usually make it here. The date change from late August to July took me off guard. Always a really nice turnout, lots of awesome cars

    Hey!! FABO still up an running! I haven't been on in sooo long I forgot my user name, and don't even mention trying to remember a password :) That part took about a 1/2 hour just to find who I am..then had to request a password. LOL Just remembered I had a pretty nice 70 Duster in the garage...

    Hey George....Nope didnt run it, somethings up w/brakes right now maybee real wheel cyl? Put the Duster in the car show, and took 2nd Place Plymouth :) One of our other FABO members also won the car show with his Dart GTS 383. He's from Danbury, Ct. and this car is freakin awesome top to...

    Hey MoPar Clown went looking for ya in the pits a couple times. We did get to see you bust into the 12's with the 'Cuda (12.77 @107) but that was the only run I managed to see. HUMID!

    No Marcus: Sat. night cruise ideas?

    Might be time to improvise, and give in just a bit. 2 weekends ago on Sat. nite we headed down to Bills Drive-in off rt 111 in Monroe. Not a "huge" lot by Marcus standards, but this is evolving into a MoPar dominated cruise night which is not really the worst thing. George R rode over with...

    No Marcus: Sat. night cruise ideas?

    Sounds promicing. Are they drawing a nice croud at this point, like 100+ cars? I wonder why so secret, just can't tell ya how many people I'm friends with up in my part of Ct that don't know about anyplace that stepped up to fill the Sat. nite void. I'm gonna have a chat with Ct. cruise news.

    Nice. Sounds like that is the BK just north of the Brewster center in the large shopping plaza.

    Tri-State Mopar Club Sunday, June 12th Great Barrington, MA

    And the show must go on. 17 cars last time I counted. Think the weather, or threat of weather (as usual) kept everyone away. My father included, who was convinced of "severe" storms that afternoon.

    Tri-State Mopar Club Sunday, June 12th Great Barrington, MA

    If they cancel the show for no apparent reason without notification this year they can go FK themselves. The year "before last" the weather report was for severe weather early afternoon, and they were correct. Was also oppressive heat and humidity, kept the car show attendence down. I'd...

    Musclepalooza @ the Valley May 29th 2011

    3.23..no ****! I'm only using 3.55 myself. Damn you would be knocking down 12's with the 4.10's. I'm prob gonna swap to 3.91 or 4.10 myself before the fall time, and hopefully score a pair of M/T DOT's. Should knock off at least .8 off my et. I dropped a pushrod just a few days before...

    Tri-State Mopar Club Sunday, June 12th Great Barrington, MA

    Too kewl. I saw the clubs trailer looking newly painted just off Rte 22 heading up to "The Valley" Sunday. Always a nice little show at Bogey's.

    Musclepalooza @ the Valley May 29th 2011

    You did well being the 1st time dealing with the tree and the clock. I also prefer the "illegal" version of racing myself. But both are a blast! I want to go up there for a normal Sat am test and tune to be able to play around a bit without the 357 other event racers. Man that was crazy.

    Musclepalooza @ the Valley May 29th 2011

    I had a blast today! Nice to see and meet so many FABO members. I ran the car twice , just during time trials. Right now the car runs so strong its pointless to attempt to get a quick ET with street tires. My first run I had a nice reaction time of 0.061 and a 60 of 1.917 but I left the line...

    Musclepalooza @ the Valley May 29th 2011

    Had a scare that I might not make it for musclepalooza. The roller rockers had been getting noisy especially since the dyno tune. They probably should have been re-adjusted right after the engine break in and initial dyno runs to begin with way back. One of the pushrods fell right out when...

    No Marcus: Sat. night cruise ideas?

    LOL, the mall HATES anything to do with both the old "Super Sunday" motorcycle events and the Saturday nite cruise. The east corner near the Strawberries Music store was normally vacant and you could see a dozen or so car trailers parked there on a saturday night where the drag cars would off...

    No Marcus: Sat. night cruise ideas?

    Yes. quite familiar. It's attached to the current Kohl's shopping plaza. Not sure if that would be popular destination with the hot rod scene. No place to congregate, eat, ice cream all that stuff. There is construction started now too, that whole plaza is about to get knocked down. It's...

    Hey George, your 100% right on about the parking. I know the owner of the drive-in offered Pete a great deal of gratitute for bringing them business on saturdays all winter long....but it's still a tiny spot for a Saturday nite cruise.

    Musclepalooza @ the Valley May 29th 2011

    I'll be there if weather co-operates. I'll be drag racing my '70 Duster. Just swapped out the Super turbo mufflers for the Dynomax Ultra's tonight, looking forward to knocking down some 12's if I can get her hooked up

    Hey I know you, beautiful Superbird! I took Plymouth in '08 I believe with the Duster.

    I've been in contact with lots of MoPar guys in the area, and it looks like we are leaning towards Bill's Drive In off Rte 111 in Monroe, Ct. (Sat nites) "Superbird" Pete has organized a solid 25-30 Mopars to show up regularly going back many years, and I have contact with another dozen or so in...

    The Saturday nite cruise is now at "Big Daddy's Deli" in Woodbury Ct, corner of Rte 6 and 61. Weird hours, says from 3:30 pm (R-U kidding) to 8:00 pm. Sounds more like a Sunday brunch croud to me, the fun just begins at 8pm if ya ask me.

    mopar atlantic nats at etown

    Had a good time down there today. As usual, not exactly packed but was worth the trip. Met plenty of great Mopar folks, especially the dude with the 69 383 GTS (FAST class racer) and the guy who just finished the 70 Dart painted Viper green out in the showfield. If anyone checked that A body...

    I probably will be heading down with my brother. Mostly interested in the swaps and watch some racing. I've always had luck finding a specific item for some reason down there. Hope it doesnt rain!

    thats a good link. The Saturday stuff going on at Hopewell Jct isnt that far of a drive. Like to check out the Diner cruise off I-84 near The Beacon-Newburgh too

    No Marcus: Sat. night cruise ideas?

    Yep, and I was one of those guys doing burnouts and having a blast. It's a shame those days are over. Wasnt aware they wont do the show this year. The last few they had at the New Britian dealership were dissapointing.
