Russ or Mike, you guys just do the "Pontiacs on Parade" or the judged car show?  Looks to be different if I read the website right.

yeah i know. the reason i'll have to wait until time gets closer, is the weekend before Pontiac Nationals i will be at Mid Ohio Raceway for "Vintage Motorcycle Days" for the weekend, with the motorcycle club i belong to ! it's an anual event for us local guys, & this year we have members from oversea's planning on attending. as a higher ranking member of the club, i am expected to be there. i may be able to talk the wife into going to Pontiac Nationals too !

OK, how about a roll call for Norwalk?  Mike, Russ, Joe, are you all still going?  We plan on leaving Thursday AM, arriving in Norwalk Friday around noon.  Got 7 or 8 from TAC that will be there.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Suprise, I dove mine from PA on Monday to the plant in upper sandusky on Monday, I'm in MN right now and plan to drive back Friday to the plant then hope to clean it up and drive up to the show both on Sat & Sun. What time is everyone planning on going Sat? Does anyone know if you can get judged on Sun and not Sat, aftet driveing back from MN 11hrs don't think I'll have much left to clean the car from the drive from PA.

I gotta work all weekend....

I can't make it....but if you are in Norwalk my band is playing out at Cabana Jacks in Sandusky...about 30 minutes away on Saturday at 8pm.  I will not be home until around 4am on Sunday.......and I am playing The Cove in Geneva on the Lake on Friday night. 

I'll miss this one but I gotta make money.


I was really looking forward to seeing you again, Hammer, but you gotta make hay while the sun shines.  I'm sure there'll be plenty of pics to look at next week.

Thx man.......But I will see you in a few weeks at the Nationals.

I wish.  The old pocketbook will only allow one 500 mile trip per month.  Or every two or three months.  If I though I wouldn't be bone weary by Saturday night I'd try to find Cabana Jacks, but after beating the show grounds all day I'm usually out of it by nighttime.  That's what old age and decrepitness will do for you.    :(  We'll catch up somewhere down the road.

Be sure to stop by and say hi, Hollywood.  Just look for the 77 SE with Virginia plates.

It was good to meet you today, Hollywood.  I wish that we hadn't been stuck under the tent in a downpour, but then so did all of the other car owners on the grounds.  A better day coming tomorrow.

We actually went out riding around Saturday night just hoping that I would run across Cabana Jacks, but obviously we went the wrong way.  I was so tired that I was probably in bed before you guys started your first set anyway.  Had a great time while we were there, a real top notch show.  One of the guys that went with us to the show was telling me about the Grand Prix/El Camino.  I think it was gone before I could find it, I would have like to have seen that car.  Still have to load the pictures into the computer, I'll post them as soon as I finish.
