Next year's PistonFest will take place at Shakespeare County Raceway again on the weekend of US Independence day.

If we were to set aside an area for 'vettes do you guys reckon we could whip up some convoys to join us for the weekend.

For those not familiar with PistonFest we had our first one this year and it was a great success.

You can get a flavour of it from (needs to be updated)

www.pistonfest.com

and there are some videos at www.pistonheads.tv

As long as it doesn't clash with the Corvette Nats then I'd be happy to go along.

It Should'nt clash with the NATS thats normally last week in june,,pistonfest sounds good and it would be a good oppurtunity to cruise up from the surrey region(over to you Rubyragtop) thru our area and on to Shakespeare the drag strip would be a good draw. and all on the 4th of July

I notice 2003 was spectator only on the drag racing,will it be the same at 2004 pistonfest?

I think my other half already has plans for the 4th of July, but that might change, so if I am free I will be there as long as we can drag race!!

I'll be there as I'm sure I can beat that dismal time set by Joe at Elvington.

Why don't we throw it open to the Corvette Club. I understand the mag editor has changed but we could put out a feature inviting all members.

PetrolTed - let me have more info (press release?) and I will approch the Club.

Will do. I'll be tidying up the website and preparing it with info about 2004 next week.

Unfortunately we won't have access to the strip other than as spectators as the event is run alongside the Nostalgia Nationals. The strip is 100% theirs for the weekend.
