Oldsmobile Homecoming

[Oldsman]

The Olds Homecoming will be in Lansing June 19th.

More info will be coming.

[dopey]

ill be there for sure scott.

[Oldsman]

it might be an alero chapter event so get you OCA stuff mailed off.

[99blackalero]

i'll be sending that application out as soon as i get caught up on some stuff, and i'll be at the homecoming for sure...be nice to meet up with some of the people here

[havik]

I can drive all day Friday, get some sleep and make it for June 19th (this is just a one day event right?)

[overdrive75]

Do you have to be an OCA member to come or only if you want to show you car?

[Oldsman]

it is a one day show. it is known as the largest one day Olds show.

No you don't have to be a member of the OCA to show.

But it would be nice to have a good showing of Alero chapter peopleat homecoming being this is THE last year.

[Pimpalero03]

ill be there this year!

[3.4Alero]

I'll be there!

[bwaynem]

Hmm.... sounds good, I guess I don't have to drive that far considering I live behind the Lansing Mall!

[boarder211]

Hmmmmmm... June 19th... my b-day. I dunno if I'll go... where exactly is lansing?

[misslindseysue]

In the middle of the lower penn. of Michigan.

Yeah, right in the middle of your right palm. I'll have to show y'all how to do the UP and LP on both hands, then I could show you where I went to school. It's stupid, but effective. You just wish your states had cool shapes.

Lansing is an hour from Grand Rapids, 2 hours from downtown Detroit, about 2 hours from Toledo, and about 3 hours from Chicago.

[Oldsman]

i will talk to the guys putting it on and see what alero we can get out this year.

you can pre-register or register at the gate.

scott is this the same place it was last year?

[Oldsman]

yes it is the same the place as last year.

you can register at the show also.

[Redog]

I think I may go to. I'm on Vacation that week anyway. If it's 6 hours for 3.4 Alero, I guess it's about 11 to 12 for me. But it's cool, I can drive out Friday, go to the show on Saturday, and drive home Sunday :D

[Oldsman]

the more the merrier.

having a strong showing of aleros, would not only show the strength of the Alero Chapter but the whole alero community to all those older Olds people and the general public.

I changed my mind. I'm going :D However I've never been before so as much info as possible would be great.

Thanks ^_^

[fiestyalerogirl81]

Does it matter if the car is all stock, or is it mainly they want aleros that have been modded?

fiesty, i know you don't much about the olds shows, i will take that into consideration.

this is not a mod show. It is an Oldsmobile show.

All Olds shows contain classes for stock/restored to street stock and modified.

Like with all Alero chapter events, OCA events, and even aleromod meets..............stock to wild are all welcomed the same.

So don't anyone feel bad about showing up with a stock alero. At least you show up. Sometimes a stock can be helpful to show you or someone else how something was and a person who has gone wild can show you what things had to modified or removed to get to a wild mod.

[dopey]

ya at OCA events....... the number of stock cars WAY out numbers the modified cars.

scott...... should i enter the stock class this year again??

[fiestyalerogirl81]

Oldsman, are you saying that since I dont know too much about the homecoming I shouldnt go?

[Oldsman]

Sweet, be honest this year and go in the right class.......modified, bunghole.........LOL

Fiesty....... i wasn't meaning it that way. what i mean is since you don't know about OCA events i filled you in. Don't mean if you don't know you shouldn't go. I was teaching you. so you feel ok about going.

[Silentalero]

haha ill make sure they classify scot with me this year, haha

[Oldsman]

dood, i am still in street stock class. no matter how you look at it.

[Aleromaster]

Damn 20 hour drive for me. Would of liked to have gone

[dopey]

scott i honestly dont agree with u in terms of how to determine what class u should be in. i think we had this discussion befor. but oh well.

ill be in modified this year...... imo u should be in stock. but it would be nice if we could have all the aleros together.....

[Silentalero]

well im sure we can all park together, just diff classes, becasue last year scot was stock and i was gm modified and we were next to each other

[dopey]

^^^^ tru

it doesnt matter i suppose if ur not being judged. but i dunno how many peeps will want to be judged. i assume some will

[Oldsman]

there we go everyone go in modified............lol

your right sweet, we did have that discussion. but after being an OCA judge i know what 40 points are. and i know how bad i would be picked apart in stock.

[glsGreg]

I want to go.. I'll see if I can get the weekend off and maybe I could even talk my dad into driving my Cutlass down with us too.. that'd be a great trip.. let me know the details of it all guys

[Oldsman]

marc, the only reason we were parked next to each other last year was because street stock and modified were next to each other.

they have the lot sectioned off for the classes.

the only way everyone will be together is if we are all in the same class.

This is how it is. sorry, rules are rules.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

i'm thinking about going, but not sure if i want to take my alero. Hopefully i can bum a ride with someone.

It'll be no problem. I got a plan. I'll take friday off work so I can drive part way on thursday. Then when the shows over, I'll drive part way again, then the rest on sunday.

I really want to go :lol: :blink:

You aren't forced to work on anything. Your dad does all the hard work. You just wish your car was as cool as mine.

My car doesn't have to look cool it has a 3800 and is quicker than yours, that's it that's that. End of story.

[misslindseysue]

Three years and you don't know when I'm joking? You work on my car 'cause you're a nice guy, not 'cause you're forced. That's all I meant.

[Oldsman]

LOL

but let's keep this on topic, please

[Redog]

Anything new about the homecomming? I would like to get a room near-by as soon as possible. I would imagine they fill up fast for this weekend

[misslindseysue]

You can get a hotel now, you have the date and location... Lansing isn't a huge city. I suppose if anyone is really hard up for a place to stay I'll have a floor you can sleep on, but it's gonna be an hour from Lansing. We'll most likely drive out that morning. Don't know about showing. Maybe if I get 'er repainted.

[Oldsman]

I will get the info and post it. I am not sure if there is a host hotel or not. but there is hotels in the area.

[Oldsman]

here is the flyer for the show. it has all the info on it for ya.

[99blackalero]

mapquest says its about a 9.5 hr drive for me...not too bad

[Redog]

OK I just got off the phone with the Best Western Midway B)

I will be arriving on June 17th and leaving June 20th. :D :D

See you all there ;)

[fiestyalerogirl81]

And I wrote down in the appointment book that i wanted that weekend off, hope Brenda sees my note.

[Oldsman]

remember people. we will be staying in the holiday inn across the street from the best western. hotel info will be up in a couple of weeks.

[fiestyalerogirl81]

What no Ritz Hotel or anything?

[Oldsman]

LOL. this is lansing not chicago.

[havik]

hey, I'm ok with Holiday Inn :D

:unsure: I booked already at the Best Western, should I change? :unsure:

[Oldsman]

yes you should.

with all of my fellow old farts, i'm sure we will be making noise and probably out in parking lot drinking or whatever and we don't want to do that in front of fellow OCA people. It could give us a bad rap and we don't need it.

[Redog]

OK I'll call and make the change

[havik]

good article, almost rekindles a lost hope.

[3.4Alero]

Huh? Did you read the whole thing? I thought it was pretty depressing, how it said that Olds is "gimping along." NOt how I want to picture Olds, that's for sure.

[Oldsman]

the longer it gets drawn out the more our cars aren't worth spit. it would have been better to just stop it immediately.

But it is funny, how noone knows when Olds will be done. I have heard there will be the alero around til 2005. but who knows if the rumors are true.

But if GM is looking for a cure, well they killed it. If they revive Olds would anyone buy them after all this??? Probably only the hardcore Olds people.

But i think why they are gimping along is because GM is finding out that the loyal Olds people are not going to other GM products. Which this was a worry of GM's.

Overall, it's sad but I was thinking about the part about how it's dragged on and something might come to the rescue. Then I thought if the OSV was put into production, could it help....then my mind kinda wandered...so I guess that's kind of rekindling a lost hope (something that'll never happen)
