I hope I can find a way to go again. Im going to ask for the time off a little later on and see what happens .I hope the powers that be that dont want me to go will forget and sign off on my days off. Im going to register and reserve a room just in case I can make it.

Ms Grumpy

I am hoping you can go too. I don't know if the show would be the same without you and the Ms, flash.

If anyway possible we will be there .Thats our favorite regional show to attend and definitely the most fun. We will be traveling less next year but will gladly go to Ohio for all the fun if possible .We wont be going to Mississippi for Cruisin The Coast or many others due to the financial strain our rental has caused us but we had planned to do some different shows anyway but may have to wait another year.

Never been to Ohio, looks like I might try to plan to come. If I bring the car I will have to drive about 2500 miles. Most likely trailer the car there.

The Ohio show made national TV for last years show ,its on a link from Team Chevelle .Ms Grumpys car is in the background as well as ours .A couple of pretty good interviews as well about the z16 and the Mitchells Beaumont .

Sounds like a killer show! Wish we could go! Sticking to the local shows for now.

64Chevellegal ,if you ever go one time you will want to go every year .Its the most fun I've ever had with any group of car guys and gals .They put their heart and soul into this show every year and it truly shows .They were even crazy enough to let me and Ms Flash join the club and help them during the show. I hope one day you get to go and as a bonus you may meet several of us there .I hope I get to go ,Im registering either way and already have my reservations made.

Ms Grumpy

12-29-2011, 06:37 PM

64Chevellegal, I agree with flash. This is the BEST show you would ever go to. The NOCC club is amazing. From the moment you get there you feel welcome. They are a group of guys, who last year, helped me immensely when my car broke down on my drive home. They even trailered my car back to my house, which was a 2 1/2 hour drive EACH WAY. You should check out the facebook page for the Northern Ohio Chevelle Club and you will see how close this group of guys is.

If I had to choose one show to go to...it would be this one ! No question.

You might contact the Northern Ohio Chevelle Club ,I can get you a contact phone number if you like .They are great guys and gals and put their heart and soul into everything they do. Even though we live far away we are members there and its our favorite show to attend.

I think I know there website and I'm pretty sure they have there own forum on it and I've already signed up. Now I just need to post. Thanks for the help anyways flash!

Ms Grumpy

03-29-2012, 08:57 AM

You can also find them on Facebook. I think that most of the NOCC members use facebook. You just have to look them up by Northern Ohio Chevelle Club.

If you plan on going to the NOCC show. Book your rooms now. The Holiday Inn is sold out, except for the block for the show. They only have rooms with 2 dbl beds left. I know because I was late booking my room, did it yesterday, and they told me the hotel was sold out.

This is the last day to get the room rate - MAKE SURE - you call the Hotel Direct and ask for "Northern Ohio Chevelles" block of rooms for the correct rate and a room. For the most part, our rooms face the parking lot so you can look out the window onto the show field.

OK - so today's journey is from our friend Jeff Thompson from Southern Ohio and he is calling you out Andre Stephens This gets a little crazy but I assure all of you, this is just a big act and we are having fun trying to remember the 70's.

Avoid downtown Cleveland, why. Construction ?

Any suggestions for those that need to travel thru there ?

72convertible

08-01-2012, 08:24 AM

Avoid downtown Cleveland, why. Construction ?

Any suggestions for those that need to travel thru there ?

From the West - You dont need to worry about Downtown because you are probably on the Turnpike with an exit very close to the Holiday Inn.

From the South
Avoid driving through downtown via I70/I71/315. This is a total cluster.

Avoid the West side around I70/270. Now...if you time it right, not during normal drive times, I70/270 coming from Dayton isn't too bad. The construction is mostly on 270 right at I70/270 and extends North a couple of miles. It clears up after that.

Those coming from the South, Cincy area want to go East on 270 at I71. This is a longer route but shorter in long run. There is some construction just started the past couple of weeks on 270 near I70. Four lanes narrow to two but it's not too bad. Just depends the time you pass through. Avoid morning drive times and 3 pm to 7 pm. Do not plan on driving I71 through town and do not take 270 around the West side.

From the East - Take 90 to I271 South to I480W to 71S to avoid Downtown. There is construction on the bridges downtown, You might be OK if you are coming through during the middle of the day or late at night but avoid rush hour times.

Just got home from the best ACES Regional Show ever ,we had a good time as usual .You all should have been there ,especially at the awards banquet ,those guys and gals are something else ,very entertaining to say the least .

It was a blast again. Hot and humid, but a lot of fun. I was so happy to see so many friends. John and Joan were wonderful to my kids, Friday night they let them ride in the convertible with them in the parade thru the park. John and Joan also took all our money on Saturday when they were selling the 50/50 tickets. The winner of the 50/50 won over $500. Actually she didn't take home all that money because she gave the NOCC 1/2 the money for the toys for tots. That was so cool.

Then at the awards banquet alot of people were dressed in their "Hippie" garb. Chuck Hanson was looking pretty cool.....

I think that flash and the Mrs. won one of the best awards of the night. Now I am going to butcher this, they won "The Chevelle they would most like to go to the Ice Cream Parlor in". So appropriate for these two very special people, who have hearts so big.....Love you guys.

For me, the biggest surprise was hearing my name, and seeing my car was chosen in the top 40 cars. What an honor to be in that group. I am still in awe. What a great weekend.

08-05-2012, 09:06 PM

Ms Grumpy ,we enjoyed giving the kids a ride through the park and we love you guys too .Its a shame we live so far apart and cant get together more often .We enjoyed hanging out with you at the awards banquet and taking your money during the show for Toys For Tots .And thankyou for this wonderful home we have here on the net to hang out ,your the best.

Thank you so much for sponsoring the show! I know we might get out of hand a bit but we try hard to make it a Family Event. We raised $1000 on a spur of the moment fund raising activity for Breast Cancer. Enough said....

Got home around 7pm last night...a long 13.5 hr trip !!
Hit HEAVY rain in south KY yesterday afternoon...they actually shut down I-75 for about 30-40 min until the storm passed. Just as well...couldn't see to drive. Extreme lightning and black as midnight.

Bill, glad to hear you made it home safely. What a great time we had seeing everyone, even if I cannot remember everyones name.
