Bear mountain, permit needed?
Quick question- I've only been to bear mountain once and it was in the camaro, but for a newer vehicle like the vettes, do you need a special permit for the cruise/show or is it still just the $8?
Also- What time do things get going? Last year I got there way too late (7ish)
thanks- Dan

If you want to park on the field, the cost depends on year of your car.
If your car is 1991 or newer then you must pay $40 for the yearly club fee. If your car is 1990 and older then its a $4 state parking fee to park on the field.
the $40 yearly club fee will exempt you from the $4 state fee.
Officially its 6pm to 9pm but people start getting there earlier.
it also depends on the night as far as when people leave.

I heard that that the $4 is broken down to $2 going to the state and the other $2 paying for the police that are up there now.

Was a pretty good turnout last night...Weather was perfect...
A friend of mine just moved back to the area; he had his 2010 Camaro there, and that thing is a monster...Supercharger, heads, cam, injectors, etc...Said it put down 705 hp at the wheels on 100 octane/ ~650 hp on pump.
We're supposed to do a dragstip night in the next couple of weeks to see how I stack up against him.

You're probably right...
