Thought i would post this up so everyone knows.

World Wide Camaro and Classic Chevy Internatinal are going to have their 30th Annual International show in Hampton, VA. Show dates are July 21-July 25.
Host Hotel is the Holiday Inn $79.00 per nite. Call 757-896-3364 for reservations.
Free welcome BBQ
Show 'N Shine Judging
Cruiser Class (display Class)
Tech Seminars
Classic Chevy's 30th B-Day Bash

They are expecting 500+ cars to come to this.
Also if you own a Anniversary car 20th thru 35th please let me know, they want to have a anniversary car gathering and if we can get enough cars in our own display area. I'm trying to get the first and last 35th Anniversary car together and maybe the last saleable 4th gen Camaro their also.

I should be there since i live 30 mins from the Hotel. I', actually a member of one of the local Camaro clubs that has a big part in the show. I attended a meeting awhile back at that Holiday Inn, and they are planning and expecting big things. Count me in for bringing my 35th LE SS.

Posted by JohnS (Member # 1073) on :

Thanks for posting the show info. [Cool]

My wife and I usually spend part of our summer vacation in Virginia Beach. Hopefully we can schedule this year's vacation around the show time.

Thanks for the dates. [Smile]

Travis what club do you belong to? I'm going to keep a count of the Anniversary cars so we know how many are going to come.

JohnS, that would be great, did you go to BG last year? i think I meet you, I was driving one of the brickyard vettes.

Yes, both my wife and I were there. I think we did meet briefly in passing.

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

Camaro Legends. I'm really not to active in the club, but I did attend that meeting. I believe Camaro Legends and Classic Chevy Lovers(something like that) are the host car clubs for the event.

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

That's the same club I'm in. By talking to Rob it sounds like they have 290 to 300 people already in the hotel. Should be a really good turnout. [Big Grin]

Posted by ChuckSSter (Member # 1800) on :

I will be there I have my room already and looking forward to it . I am coming down with my 99 Z28 . I dont have a 20th or 35th but I am the NY State Rep for WCC. Hope to meet some of you at this show. [Wink]

Hopefully we'll have a good anniversary car display. I would like to get all of the different models together, it's not that hard for the 35th, but the 30th has 5. Just need 3 more. If anyone knows someone with a 25th please tell them there was alot of color combos for that year and it's going to be hard to get them all there.

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

Will the Anniversary Car section still be open for judging?

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

yes, most likley what is going to happen is there will be a display of each different annivserary car that was made, the rest will be able to be judged. But and this all depends on how many cars show up i would like to keep all of them together.

Posted by Archs89 (Member # 1086) on :

Chuck ,
I plan on being there but not confirmed yet if I'll be alone or with family. That should be decided soon ,

Arch

WV State Rep. for WCC

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

I have been able to get Tom Henry and GMMG to possibly show, along with cars from GM. I would like to see alot of the SSOA people show up to this should be alot of fun for everyone.

Posted by Mike2001SS (Member # 2088) on :

I will be there as well and Chuck and I are sharing a room. This is going to be one of the best shows this year and we are going for a week as my wife wants some time at the beach before we come home. Also from a E-Mail I got from Scott aka Fbodfather he will be at that show. [Big Grin]

Posted by 01ss87iroc (Member # 1763) on :

Thanks for sharing. If the dates work out, I'll be there. By the way, I hope someone will re-post as the event date approaches. [Big Grin]

Posted by Diggler's HMS (Member # 1067) on :

I will probably show up to take pics and shoot the sh*t. [Big Grin]

Wish I still had the SS to show. [Frown]

Thats great. Talked to the Father last week and he said the same.

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

I will be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Reminder

Posted by Archs89 (Member # 1086) on :

I have my room at the Hampton Inn since the main host Hotel is booked and now as I understand from Rob Harrington that the Hampton Inn is all booked too and filling up the third hotel , the Quality Inn . Should be coming in Thurday afternoon , hopefully before the Thurs. BBQ .
Travis can tell me what the local car rentals are available there ? I was going to bring my daily driver so my wife will have free reins and transportation to the beach each day but with the gas prices it might be cheaper to rent another car after getting there. I know I will not be taking my Camaro to the beach everyday or anywhere near the sand and salt ,

Craig,
I've used enterprise rent a car down here a few times and have had great service. I'm sure they have one in the Hampton area.

Posted by Archs89 (Member # 1086) on :

Thanks Travis , if you hear of others let me know before July !

Arch

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

Tom Henry will show with a couple of his trucks. GMMG with a display and I also got a Boldwin Motion Phase III vette. Still working the issue with the cars from GM.

Thanks to a couple of people there is going to be a anniversary car display. Might even be able to get the 97 SEMA car from Matt Murphy.

They are also going to have trips planned to Bush Gardens and Colonial Willumsburg and Va Beach.

Would be nice if we could get a good turn out from the SSOA people, if we do then maybe would have a little get togther. I'll keep everyone up to date on things.

So if I attend the show, I have to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Thanks!

It really all depends on what Glass your going in. If it's the show N' shine then you have to be classified by 5 on Fri. This is the 1000 pts class, Display you can show up on Sat. mornin and get classified. This class does not go as much into detail, it's for people that want to show their cars but not really spend that much time on them...

Posted by Hookerf14 (Member # 1602) on :

Jeremy,
Sent you a PM

Posted by Archs89 (Member # 1086) on :

There is also a special meet and greet BBQ on Thursday night. If you go to Rob's web page on the show there is a schedule you can look at Travis ,

I'll see if I can find the link and add it to this post ,

Arch

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

Jeremy,
Are you still heading up the Anniversary car display? Is that from fri-sun, or just 1 day. I'm not sure what how to classify my car, show n shine or display??

Posted by RagSS (Member # 1127) on :

Jeremy, ...how can you be heading up the Anniversary display?, ...that should only be for STOCK Ann. cars, ...yours is a Performance Ed., ...way not stock [Smile]

(j/k!!) ...sounds cool.
I really have to look at my calendar and make it to this show...

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

Travis-The display is going to be all weekend, put your car in the show n shine class..

Kevin- It's almost stock [Big Grin]

. You should come down, I think this is going to be a nice show...

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :

Got a couple more updates- GM is going to send a couple of cars, Vin#1 and the 96 Brickyard pace car will be there, I have the Ann. car display almost complete and I'm hoping Matt and Co. will be there, not to sure on that yet.....

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

I may take off early and go out there. The problem is, is that I am in a wedding that weekend. I want my car there, but I dont know if I can physically be there. I am hoping I can be there Friday night, Saturday morning, and maybe Sunday. So I dont think I'll be able to show in the Show N Shine class, since I wont be there the entire time.

Posted by Archs89 (Member # 1086) on :

Travis ,

There is a class for cruisers or display so maybe you can just go in that. The 1,000 point judged class is priced based on you helping with judging unless you pay an extra $20 for not judging. It's always nice to go in the 1,000 point judged class to see what improvements you might need or if your car is like a friend's of mine he got a 999 out of 1,000. Either way I look forward on meeting you and some of the other back prochers that is going to be there. Just look for a dark red metallic 3rd. Gen with a cowl induction hood and you'll find me rubbing and cleaning on it from the 8 hour drive there ,

Craig

Posted by Travisnd1 (Member # 1982) on :

Sounds good Craig! I am looking forward to meeting some of you guys!

Posted by 35th 02 ss (Member # 1667) on :
