Turkey Tour?

[stealth71]

I was just trying to find out if there had been any plans made for the Turkey Run this year. I want to have my car running for it and wanted to check to see if there would be a group going like last year.

[69Nova]

I hope so too. It was a good time last year. I bet Frank will probly see this a chime here.

[stealth71]

Hopefully I will have my car running for it. I didn't a chance to go last year, but am sure looking forward to it this time around.

[Steve68]

It dosent matter if you car dosent run go anyways, tons of stuff to see and buy!!!!

[stealth71]

I will be driving the Chevelle there or bust. Put in a good 30hrs this week.

[ProdigyCustoms]

We are waiting for confrmation on our spots We added some this year for up to 50 cars. but no confrmation yet

[Bill Howell]

I will be there. I have not missed it for about 15 years now.

[J Demuth]

I'm hoping to have my car done enough to take also.

[69Nova]

Wow up to 50 cars. I wonder where were doing dinner this time?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Wow up to 50 cars. I wonder where were doing dinner this time?

Me too!, LOL! One of the things we are working out. It is difficult to find a place to handle 30 to 50 cars, hold off spaces and be ready for a rush. That place was perfect for that, so it may be back again

[69Nova]

I hope they dont mess up the food orders again:pat: . I dont have a problem with that place, it was a nice little drive and the food was pretty good.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Look for details very soon, but I feel pretty certain no orders will be messed up this year!

[OHCbird]

I'm going even with the 'Bird on a trailer... plus it'll be my last until my paid-vacation (courtesy of uncle sam) is over next year.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Working on the sign in form now.

[Steve68]

The Nova got a tune up yesterday, I'll drive it this year,

[SicMonte]

umm...can someone explain to me what the Turkey Tour is?

[stealth71]

Just read this while on the site:

As of Sept. 20, Club Parking is FULL. Only general parking is now available.

[ProdigyCustoms]

I have 50 passes in my hand, no worries! Same awesome spots as last year

[ProdigyCustoms]

umm...can someone explain to me what the Turkey Tour is?

Just a bunch of us hanging out together at the Turkey Run in Daytona. We get club parking, do a little cruise, dinner. We do Friday and Saturday at the show, but I will run over Weds and Thursday mornings to get parking passes to early arrivals doing all days.

Looks like we are doing a big cookout this year instead of the resturant, just waiting for the contract for the pavilion to come back and then we will make post details.

[SicMonte]

geez...why is every event so far away from me!!! at least i get to go to sema this year...but still...i wont have my car there.

[Bill Howell]

umm...can someone explain to me what the Turkey Tour is?

To add to what Frank said, he failed to mention it is the Week of Thanksgiving, thus, Turkey Rod Run, Turkey Run, Turkey Tour.

Some of the best deals are found on Thanksgiving. Gives us something to do other than eat that day.

[Steve68]

That is my 20 yr high school reunion weekend, I think I'd rather hang with you guys!

[OHCbird]

Frank-
Do you want to do a BBQ in the lot, or is this something that is going to happen after?

[ProdigyCustoms]

I rented the pavillion at Tomoka State Park, just need the contract signed and we are good to go. Looks like we will cruise over there between 2:00 and 3:00.

[Steve68]

Cool,

[stealth71]

Which day is the BBQ?

[Steve68]

I would say Sat, get to work!

[ProdigyCustoms]

Saturday afternoon. We will have the sign up ready Tuesday.

[69rs]

Which Tuesday?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Tomorrow is Tuesday. Firebird is on the truck and headed to SEMA, so I will have tomorrow to wipe my.........................

I will get the details worked out tomorrow! Also, we will have the Firebird at Turkey Tour, along with II Much!

[scogin918]

Wish I could go this year, but with the little one and the fact that they moved the Clemson-Carolina game to the Saturday after Thanksgiving means that I'll be going to Clemson this year. Next year it's at Carolina so hopefully by then my car will be done in time for me to drive it to Daytona. Ya'll have fun down there!

[OHCbird]

Frank- Let me know if there are any details I can help with... I'm definitely coming w/ a ride this year.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Sorry Boys, had a little accident last night heading home. Everyone is fine, other guys fault, just ruined my day. I will finish the announcment today.

[69rs]

Sorry Boys, had a little accident last night heading home. Everyone is fine, other guys fault, just ruined my day. I will finish the announcment today.
That sucks! Glad everyone is okay.

[ProdigyCustoms]

The sign up sheet should post later today. Prodigy Customs has reserved 50 club parking spots (same awesome spot as last year), and have paid the club parking fees. You will only have to pay your regular Turkey Run admissions fee. The official "Turkey Tour" meet days for our group are Friday Nov 23 and Saturday Nov 24, however, I know many early birds may come in Thursday. I will ride over to Daytona Thursday morning to give parking passes to any early birds, but will not be staying Thursday at the show ourselves. You will still park in the club spots. We will meet in the mornings for breakfast like last year, (location information to come soon) get our parking passes and cruise to the track. We will meet for breakfast both Friday and Saturday morning, and I will try to be on time this year, LOL!

The cruise on Saturday will be a lot shorter this year, but should be pretty neat. We have rented the pavilion at Tomoka State Park http://www.floridastateparks.org/tomoka/
and have a caterer set up to do BBQ. Good southern BBQ will only be $7 a plate. We have the Pavilion all day, we will officially cruise over at 3:00, but you are welcome to go over anytime earlier if you like. The Park is pretty cool especially if you have the kids. Dinner will be ready at 4:00, we have the pavilion until dark. GP SuperStore will be covering the $4 per car entry fee to the park. So you just show the guard you Prodigy Customs window sticker, and your in. We will be setting up a lot of door prizes this year, hopefully giving away some cool stuff. And I am working on possibly some "games"

I will post a link to the sign up sheet as soon as we get it posted. If anyone has questions, ask them here. Also, lets sound off if you are coming. Really looking forward to it.

[wayne70]

[69Nova]

[ProdigyCustoms]

They are already here. Rode through BelAir Plaza today checking some things out for the Turkey Tour, already 2 rows of cars, and Laplaya was full!. Here is the greeting sign at the pavillion for lunch, in case anyone felt like swimming!

[Steve68]

Frank, can we pick up are stuff Friday???

[ProdigyCustoms]

Sent you email Steve, we are meeting 7AM Friday and Saturday morning. Meeting at the Keffee Kup 1.5 miles north of IRP on Nova Rd

[Steve68]

I saw it last night, but was busy with the Pre-Thanksgiving preps!

[jeff s]

sorry i missed it

[Steve68]

Shoulda came it was fun,

[BAP]

Sounds like yall had a blast. Maybe I will see you next time.

[Steve68]

Next times a month away..... make plans

[Steve68]

I don't think Frank and Lisa will be doing anything for the Turkey Tour, but I'll be there wandering aimlessly through everything, maybe Mike (Stealth71) will be with me,

If anybody else is going and would like to meet up just shoot me a PM,

[stage2ROUSH]

Steve68 ...my wife and I will be there somtime on Saturday, maybe we could meet up.

[Steve68]

Will have to go PM, on the phone numbers,

[ProdigyCustoms]

Well, Lisa's dad passed this morning and there will not be any services until next week. So it looks like we will be there after all in no official capacity. Looks like were bringing a few cars and parking in the grass.

my number is four zero seven 832 1752 if anyone wants to hook up or hang out. I will just be wandering around during the day and cruising and raising some hell at night!

[Steve68]

Sorry Frank and Lisa, I'll call you on Sat to see "Where You at"

[69Nova]

Sorry to hear that Frank. I'll be down there Friday and Saturday. Friday I'll be kinda busy with my girlfriends parrents who are coming down to the show. But I'll defintly call you guys on Saturday so I can catch up with you guys and hang out.

[scogin918]

Sorry to hear about your family's loss Frank. I won't be going down there this year. They moved the Clemson/Carolina game to the Saturday after Thanksgiving because of the 12 game schedule. Next year will be a tough decision as my car should be done but it will be a home game for the Tigers.

I will have some friends of mine making the trip. They left this morning. Be on the lookout for a blue '69 Camaro w/silver stripes and a nitous bottle for an armrest, either a pro-street black '69 Camaro w/ neon orange flames or a black Nova w/neon green glames and a just finished copper colored '86 Pro-street Monte Carlo with a blown alchohol small-block with the biggest hat you've ever seen. It is 18% over-driven and sounds nasty. I hope he brings it all the way to the gate on a trailer, because I would feel sorry for whoever is stuck next to it in traffic. They'll be crying from the fumes all the way home.

[Dagger]

Frank, sorry to hear about your father-in-law. A few friends and I will be there on Saturday, hope to see you and Lisa.

[stage2ROUSH]

Everyone at Prodigy, sorry to hear that and right here at the holidays,we will be at daytona on sat hope to see you guys.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Ok, so we have confirmed what cars we are bringing. We will have Michael's Project Prodigy (684HP), My Street Racer (950HP), The All Aluminum 572CI 57 Chevy (758HP), and the All Aluminum 572CI 67 Chevelle (754HP). Thats 3146 Horse Power, LOL! We should all be together, so if you see one come on over.

[69Nova]

Anyone know if Bill is coming down?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Bill is there all ready, but left all the cars at home.

[69Nova]

Cool.

[Steve68]

When do I get to drive the JBI car!!!!!

[69Nova]

Saw Frank for two seconds today. Saw Bill from far away but couldnt catch him. I'm gonna try and find you guys tommorow....

[Steve68]

Rain sucks, was in a bad mood, didn't buy crap, didn't look for crap, but just like Bill told me, everyone want's too much money for there cars.
Saw worn out 57 BelAir, need total resto and tons of body panels, $16,000, a couple of yrs ago saw a 57 awsome, fell in love with it, $25,000, WTF,

[Rodzilla]

Well here are a few photos from the weekend. Dang that is one big show! I only had one day to look around so I missed quit a bit of cars.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Good seeing you for the 2 seconds Andrew! We had to cut the show short and never even unloaded the cars. We did all cruise to Belair last night, it was PACKED. We must have had a few dozen members call looking for us. Maybe next year will be back to normal.

[69Nova]

Yeah I hope next year we can be back to normal. Friday I spent walking and hanging out with my girl friends family(I have been helping put her dad's car back in running order). Saturday I was beat from all the walking on Firday so I sat in the car coral with my dad helping him sell his truck. Sorry I didnt get to hang out with anyone.

Oh yeah and sorry Frank! When I'm in the swap meet I'm a man on a mission. I'm thinking I might make a visit to see you guys in O-town in a few weeks. Gotta see Parson's Nova and want to come check out you guys shop.

[Bill Howell]

Sorry I missed everyone, I got pissed about how much everyone was asking for cars and just came home early. It seemed like a huge crowd this year. I was able to get home a day early though, so that was worth it.

[69Nova]

Yeah there were tons of dreamers this year. I think all the people are watching the auctions on TV and thinking their junk in the garage is worth the same thing.

[69rs]

I hated missing it this year. I've been the last 5-6. Maybe next year the rules will change at my work.
