So do you think it would be worth driving down from Ottawa? If yes maybe we should try a Saturday meet.

Devilish · BURLINGTON, ONT

I'm going to this show. Were putting 2 rods in it. The 31 Chev Sedan Delivery and my 30 Ford Tudor.
The new show owner is Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes.
Should be a good show, I enjoyed it last year.

See you guys there!

Sacotu · COBOURG, ONT

Mike lives in the nieghbourhood, never knew he was promoting this. I may see him Friday night at a local fundraiser for our new arena.

Is Performance World dead? Same venue.

Picasso · TORONTO, ONT

1 - Mike Holmes is NOT the owner of Megaspeed (I know the owner and he is not Mike) but he is one of the feature attractions. Mike does own a couple of hot rods, both 32 Ford roadsters, 1 red, 1 blue.
2 - yes, Performance World is dead :(
3 - the show is shaping up very well and should be a good show. The new owner has a few ideas he is putting into the show and it mat take a year or two or three to get everything implemented.
4 - don't miss it :)

RAT BOY · TORONTO, ONT

Thanks Picasso, marked on Calendar.

RAT BOY · TORONTO, ONT

I usually took advantage of the discount coupon for Performance World. Saves half usually. Must be used on off hours but I like that anyway.

I hope the guy with the shoe shine prodcuts is there, I buy that every time, great stuff.

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

El,Cheapo here, whats the door rate??? Hope it's not like the car show downtown?? That was a HIT in the wallet, for any family to go to,gas,parking & entrance fee!!!!! These promoters have to take that into consideration, if it's too costly,people can't afford to go!!!!

Picasso · TORONTO, ONT

The admission has not been announced yet but you can expect about $20 for an adult. Check the website to see if there is a discount coupon available. There is free parking at the International Center.

427CARL · CLINTON, ONT

Will they have wrestling or Cage fighting?

Picasso · TORONTO, ONT

No, this is a car show :)

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

i wouldn't pay 20 bucks to see a bunch of old guys in wet t-shirts

Brianandhisbad55 · OTTAWA, ONT

I'm still undecided on whether to make the trip from Ottawa. Historically the show has been pretty good. Hopefully the new owners put on a quality show.

Picasso · TORONTO, ONT

FYI...the show managers were in Detroit this past weekend at the Autorama checking out a few cars that are coming to Megaspeed. I think it's going to be a good show.

dualquadpete · BLACKSTOCK, ONT

Think I'll pass on this, save the $100+ it will cost me to go, & put the time & $$$ into the 52 June's not that far off & thats my goal to "get er done"

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

I should be there most of the weekend with Dads AA/Altered in the Piston Pushers Display. They are doing a scale version of the old club house. Should be a great show from what I have heard.

RAT BOY · TORONTO, ONT

You guys are making this sound really great, I'm looking forward to it as it sounds like a must see for us Toronto boys. Cost is minimal when you live in the big smoke. I spilled more than $100 at Traders last week DQ-Pete.

Ray, think you'd better seek "medical attention" for that shaking problem, or "start using a Straw"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devilish · BURLINGTON, ONT

I always liked Performance World although it lost a few car guys over the years.
It's $30 to enter a car and it's a great show in my opinion.
I've heard from some of the guys working the show they have some new ideas for this year and I think I heard something about a Bikini contest or maybe wet t-shirt contest...not 100% though.

I will even be there showing the drawing's for my new project which will be first time shown for next years show...you won't want to miss next years show!!!

chevyboy · TORONTO, ONTARIO

I'll be there, looking forward to meeting whoever is going. Next question though, how are we going to know whos who? Are we all going to just meet up or are we going to have some way of noticing other members.

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

Like Shaggn said, don't let previous shows make up your mind, Its promising to be a great show. I think you will be sorry you missed it. Show support to your fellow rodders!

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

An idea of a meet up at the car show was mentioned....Why dont you guys that are going PM each other and set up a time and place....I will put it on the top banner of the board.

workin class · FINCH, ONT

Any time Saturday is good.

Picasso · TORONTO, ONT

I will be at the booth marked 'Brush Rush North' with the pinstripers and other artists for most of the weekend in hall 3. I am also doing photography over the weekend as well as some work at Horton's Street Rods at the front hall. If you guys want to meet up, I suggest you find me at the pinstripers booth and go from there. If you want a place to eat before or after the show, go down Airport Road to 'Zet's' diner, it's open 24/7 and the food is good and affordable.

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

I plan on going on Saturday, but that can change with out much notice.
How does 3 P.M. Sat., Hall 3, by the Brush Rush North booth sound. I will be there for sure Thursday afternoon for load in and Sunday all day.

workin class · FINCH, ONT

3 WILL be late for me as I have to drive back to Ottawa and leave around that time 100 130 would be better

Chris Stapley · CAMPBELLFORD, ONT

I too will be at the Brush Rush North booth for the weekend , look for the guy in the black tshirt.....
I will have my bright yellow travel box near me at most times, it has a picture of Workin Class painted on the top box, you can't miss it. Just yell at me when you have decided what time we're meeting......

shaggn · LONDON, ONT

unfortunately,other than set up thursday,I can't get back up until sunday..but will stop over Chris and say hi...usually say hi to Rollie up there(did some killer work on my dash couple yrs back now).Will be kickn around Piston Pusher display all day sunday(other than beer breaks!),for anyone who is there stop by and introduce yourself... biggrin

Minds Eye · GRAND BEND, ONT

Looks like I'll be coming up for Sat for a few hours with the whole family in tow. Looking forward to checking out the Piston Pusher display,(too bad you won't be there Shaggn but I'm sure we'll catch up another time!),and everything else that's going to be there. Sounds like it's going to be a good show. Chris, I'll make sure we swing by and say hey. (Missed you twice @ Autorama!)

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

1:00 pm works for me.
shaggn, I guess I will see you thursday, dad and I are bringing the roadster thursday afternoon. (Really like the Falcon)

shaggn · LONDON, ONT

you bet!For anyone who doesn't know the car slammed35 is referring to(you must live under a rock!)The Charlie horse is a piece of Canadian drag racing history,with record setting passes at nationals,as well as cleaning house at most tracks around here in the day!I've had the pleasure of hearing her run,sends goose bumps!Also had the pleasure of getting to know Charlie Haviland over last few years,a tremendous guy,a wealth of knowledge,and always good for a laugh!!I have an autographed pic from him that hangs with pride in my shop..take the time to meet him guys,and a few other drag legends as well at Piston Pusher lounge!! smile

69SS454 · MILTON, ONT

Thinking of going on Sat. If I am there I'll stop by around 1pm, shake some hands and sign some autographs...jk.

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

Just became a Piston Pusher tonight! They are having a club photo taken at the MegaSpeed club display at 1:00 pm on Saturday so I won't be able to do the 1pm meet and greet thing. Have we decided on a time to meet up yet. Would maybe 11:00 am work better so it could spill into a lunch gathering? The Piston Pusher display sounds over the top. Its reported to be 5000 sq. ft. of club history and iron. I don't want to miss out on the photo op as it will be a historic event for the members. Biggest club undertaking since the 50's!!!

fast Ed · CALEDON, ONT

I'll be there Saturday morning, helping my brother man the Horton Hot Rods booth near the front, until the owner shows up early afternoon after closing the store. You can say hello to the skinny dude with very little hair. LOL

cheers
Ed

Slammed 35 · HOOTERVILLE, ONT

Anyone else interested in a Ontario Rodder meet n greet? Anyone? Class, Anyone? Show starts Friday at 10:00am. Had a preview look, its worth the trip. Looks like a great show!
