ill be there as always. not particularily thrilled with the new location of the show itself though.

I didn't realize it wasn't posted up until now. I saw a pack of TA's heading across the turnpike just outside of Pittsburgh on Friday and I thought they were on the way over there. Guess not judging by the date so there must have been something local to here.

I like the new location, instead of the same old boring location. Plus there is plenty of restaurants nearby, Sharkey's Lounge in the hotel itself, Carillon Historical Park across the street, and UD next door.

+1 on the new location, I think UD arena would have been great, it was when the power tour came through. Plus its closer to home now haha

I liked the old location cause i knew people who worked there but will still be going to it this year. Hopefully will be driving my car to the cruise in this year.

Rumor is, the concept TA body kit for the 2010 camaro will be unveiled there:

that concept looks sweet!

I'll be there not sure if I'll clean up the car or just walk around and look at everything.

i just prefered to wake up on fridays and see vandalia packed with birds. just wont be the same seeing them anywhere else now

more than anything i just really look forward to the cruise in part the most though.

The new location was awesome. No more parking in the grass and cars stirring up dust when they drive by.

I didn't see anyone with Dayton f-body shirts on, What gives???

I no longer participate in the Nats because I moved and they didn't treat us well at out last outing.

I was sick and unable to do anything for the whole weekend.

i opted for kings island since me and my car are at odds. it wants to fall apart and i dont want it to. its winning that battle.

i hear the "concept" bird was so so. i saw pics and it made me glad i didnt go honestly. the rear of the car is just a mess.

The new location was very nice, big lot with plenty of spectator parking. I like the TA concept except the rear of it. heres a few pics of it, I couldn't get the whole car because there was always people in front of it.

......

front looks okay, i think they could have done more with it though, with a few changes it could look really good on the front.

i think most of my issue is that they tried to make a late second gen out of it when they should have gone late first early second gen to fit the lines of the car better.

The back of it is hideous.

Yeah, the back is absolute poo. Looks like they were trying for honda/lexus/infinity/mazda/88 caprice wagon tail lights. Change them now!

And no, those tail lights look nothing like an 88 caprice wagon...but caprice wagons are pretty cool.

they were? lol

It's too try-hard, honestly. Front looks good, but it looks like a Camaro that was converted into a TA. Back looks stupid.
