Turkey Run 2019
 
Does anyone here attend the Turkey Run? There used to be a local POCI region that had an area reserved for Pontiac's, they charged a few bucks to park there but it was pretty neat. Anyone know if they still do that?

I attend every year.....mostly because I live about 8 minutes from the Speedway. I haven't noticed any organized Pontiac groups there, but have seen some awesome Pontiacs nonetheless. Great show.

There is a group from the Jacksonville Dixie Chapter pontiac club that reserves an area along one of the fences. Great club that is very active!

Hey Doc.....If the POCI folks show up en masse, I hope they make LOTS of noise so I can find them!!

HURRICANE, DIXIE & EVERGLADES are/were Fl based Chapters of POCI
its been years since I've gone down but,
IIRC the Hurricane club always had a section by turn 4 and were always open to allow fellow Pontiacer's parking within their group.
I don't recall being asked for any compensation.
Might check to see if any of these groups still get together.

Hurricane chapter is about dead. I have been going there for years. This year I bought my own club tickets at turn 4 west of the tunnel where the Pontiacs park. If anybody would like to park there I might have an extra ticket (Decal) for parking in that area. I will know for sure by the weekend. If its not used I will gladly let some use it on a first come first served basis. No charge.

Hey Guys, I'm with the Dixie Chapter Pontiac club in Jacksonville. I just wanted to let everyone know that we aren't reserving the spot for the Pontiac only parking this year. We really haven't had a very good turnout from the Dixie chapter over the past few years and so we decided to take a break for a year. If there is enough interest we may bring it back again next year.

Thanks for the response.

I hopefully will be going Friday with a white 72 T/A.

Mcronk 11-25-2019 09:54 PM

I will be there with my 68 Tempest. Hope to park near the same area we have in past. I will try and get in grass field around the bathrooms in turn 4.

Park at Turn 4, backs against the track. I wont be bringing the car this year but am going to be there Saturday. I usually told the parking crew, I was with the "Pontiac Club" and they just let you drive in.

My favorite find at the show. 58, convertible, with A/C, fuel injection, power antenna and windows. Perfect.

That car is amazing and was at POCI Nationals this summer. Unfortunately I was only able to attend on Friday and did not get to cover as much as I wanted to. I saw cars parked in places I have never seen before. Seemed like there more cars there than I have seen there before. Weather was beautiful so everyone came out.
