The East Coast F-Body Nationals is an event hosted by the New Jersey F-Body Owners Association each year to celebrate our clubs anniversary. We feature a car show, bracket and heads up drag racing, give aways, prizes, and much much more.
The 2006 East Coast Nats are going to be a bit expanded from the '05 Nats. The addition of an Open Electronics Bracket, some modifications to the car show ballots, the addition of several new special awards in the car show, and an earlier start in the planning and sponsor hunting will make this year's Nats even more fun than last.

The potential wet weather kept a lot of cars away on Sunday. But I got sunburn that day. Not enough older cars - we need to work on that. :) Actually, that was & will be a topic of conversation for next year. The club isn't that old and is primarily younger members, so the 3rd & 4th gens rule the roost. We need to set them straight! :p

We did have 2 documented L78 1970s. How many shows have that? :) And a very nice 67 complete with LS1/T56. And a 69. And a really nice 73 'bird.

The club is in tight with Island Raceway, so I really think this could be a nice thing for anyone w/i a reasonable distance from the track. We just have to work on it some more. This was only the 2nd year.
