Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:36 pm Post subject: UPDATED: RI All Chevy Car show ECC/NECOA wins! Pictures
Too early to start posting 2006 car show event info?
June 25th 2006, All Chevy Show, Diamond Hill Park, Cumberland RI (RI Chevy Owner's Assn ...aka RICOA).
UPDATE Sat. May 27th:
Here's the link to the flier. Cruisin Bruce's Car Show Fliers Page (Today, in addition to all the other car show fliers, the All Chevy show flier is about halfway down the page)
Same classes as last year. One class for all stock, one for all modifieds. Last year we had a great spot under the trees. I think there were 12 Elkies in all. Let's make it 16 this year. _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4

I'll post a link to a flier as soon as I find it.

Thanks Mike and Mark. I agree, never to early to start posting car shows. This show is always one of my favorites of the season. I've marked my calender! As soon as you have a flier, please post.

Okay, just over a week.
Who's planning to attend?
Will Mark (with that killer, pedigreed, '72, new diff and new wheels and skins)?
Jay and Dian (another opportunity to market "Her Majesty's jeweled 73", canvass the locals and scoop up some new NECC members)?
How about Ernie with the top notch silver 87 (Who lives within a stone's throw of me but whom I've never met).
What about Alan and Wendy with that gorgeous modified, who so graciously gave me their shade and acceptance at last year's inferno, (I mean event) and gave of themselves and their treasure to help the flood victims.
Other's I've inadvertently missed?
I'm working on a guy at work who owns a red 68. Have asked a half dozen times, but he hasn't indicated if he's coming or not.
Let's hear it.
Let's invite others
Let's go! _________________ 70 Elky (Non-SS) 454CID, TH700-R4

Yes, Dian and I will be attending if it is not raining. This is a rain or shine show, and for the life of me, I can't really understand a car show in the rain...
We always enjoy everyone's company and yes, we will be "marketing" the Elco.. _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

Hey Mike, Glad to hear your going, also Jay and Dian. Ernie, how bout you? It'll be nice if all you region 2 members show up to finally meet everyone, and check out all them cool Elkys. If the ol back ain't in too rough a shape, I'll be there. I'm glad this was brought up as I have some questions. With this damn webtv, I can't make out Bruce's flyer. Do we pre-reg.? If so, is there a number to call? What time to show up? My car is still numbers matching, and stock, but the engines got a bunch of " chrome bolt ons " and the Cragars etc., so what class does that put me in? Modified? I'm looking foward to this show, my first show!!!!! I know I'm a pain in the rear end with all the questions, You guys can kick me in the leg when we meet. Oh, speaking of questions, Mike, did you get them M/Ts and Rallys put on? I kept checking that post to see if you put up some pics of them. Well, I'm getting long winded here. If anyone would be kind enough to fill in the blanks for me, and anything else I should know on the RICOA show, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.... _________________ Mark

Sorry guys, but I can't make it this year. Unfortunately, I'm on the schedule to work that weekend. I've been trying to get someone to switch weekends with me but I haven't had any luck. I hope everybody has a great time. _________________ Ernie

Nope, you don't have to pre-register. In past years, Dian and I have just showed up at the gate (I'm one of the early arrival types) and paid to get in. The show is from 9:00 -3:30, and show "registration" is from 9:00 -12:00. So, as long as you show up before 12:00, you're in. We had one member, Dave Bates, who showed up with his sweet '65 (or was it a '66???) at a few minutes past 12:00 one year and they wouldn't let him in
As far as the stock vs. modified class goes, that is a little subjective. When you pull up to the gate, they will ask you. Some really trick customs like Tom's "el Bandido" are right at home in the modified class. Mine is extremely stock, pretty close to way it came from the factory, so I go with the stock class. This show is a "peoples choice" type show, so for the most part, you can't go wrong in either class.
Remember to put "National El Camino Owners Association" for club affiliation on any registration form!!
Boy is that jumping "emoticon" annoying or what? _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

Hi Jay, Appreciate the reply, but whoaaaa buddy, at 4:30 in the morning? Don't you sleep? At any rate, I'll plan on being there early so I'll have time to better figure out my class, and of course to wipe her down. Thanks again. _________________ Mark

Hey Ernie, Bummer on the work buddy. Like Jay said, perhaps you'll get lucky later in the week. Good luck.. _________________ Mark

Im not sure if i am going to go to this one. I would love to go but this would be a long haul for me, 2 and a half hours away, 240 miles round trip. Could someone give me an exact address of something close by so i can mapquest it please? i did a mapquest to cumberland RI and it is 2.5 hours, 120 miles away.

I'll try to show up with my toyota, since my Elky is only a pile of parts right now. I am still collecting stuff, picked up a 454 block and heads last week along with a Ford 9" rear. Hope to see you guys (again). _________________ If you want your car fixed the right way, do it yourself!
