I am this year's President of the Northwest GTO Legends and the Chairman of the 2016 GTOAA National Convention. If you haven't heard yet, the 2016 GTOAA National Convention will be held next year in Bellevue, WA - a suburb to Seattle. This will be the first time that the Nationals have ever been held in Seattle and only the second time that GTOAA Convention has gone to the west coast.
We want to get as many of GOATs and not-GTO Pontiacs here as possible. I know it's a long way to bring your prized GTO, but the Seattle/Tacoma area offers a vacation of a lifetime. There is no place more beautiful than the Pacific Northwest and particularly in July, when if rarely rains. The Convention runs from July 13 to July 17, 2016. In addition to the traditional Convention activities, we have a week packed full of activities including a Car Cruise to Snoqualmie Falls, trips to both LeMay Car Museums, a trip to the Museum of Flight, as well as, trips to the downtown Seattle attractions. We are also marketing this as a "Vacation Destination" and are offering a second week of vacation activities, including a day long bus trip around Mt. Rainier and a 7 day Alaskan Cruise.
Our web page for the Convention is up and running and it outlines all of the Convention activities, host and overflow hotel information, as well as, details about convention fees and activities. The web site address is:

Even if the trek is too far for you to bring the GOAT, please be our guest and attend the Convention without your car.. After all, we speak fluent Pontiac out here. You have talked about that Alaskan Cruise for years. How could it get any better than enjoying it with your Pontiac brethren?
Hope to see many of you in Seattle/Bellevue next year!
