Dan and I are going, me in my 71 Formula 455HO and Dan in his 79 6.6 4-spd TA.

Craig, Mike & Sean, are we rendezvouzing at Ft. Wayne for the annual convoy?

Hey Sean, I've been emailing Mike and the plan is to meet at the McD's in Van Wert, gas up at Walmart, then drive to the diner (Balyeat's?) in downtown VW for lunch/pie around 1pm to 2pm est. There will be 5 Firebirds making the pilgrimage this year, 4 second gen and 1 fourth. The weather is looking really nice this year and a little cooler (low 80's vs 90's) for the weekend. We are coming down 421 south to VW rather than from Ft. Wayne.

Dennis

I work on north side of Cincy so I haven't seen it personally, but they're doing some kind of major work on the 71/75 bridge from Kentucky. Best to avoid that area especially during rush hours. Probably a better bet to go the few extra miles and take 275 around the outskirts.

Or go to Indy and take 70 east to Dayton.

Yes there is road construction on I75 at the bridge in Cincy . I lost an hour there about 3 weeks ago. That was on a Saturday morning. You should prolly use the 275 bypass instead of following 75 thru the city. Have a good time at the show.

Burd, that's a complement. If it was the little finger, then it would have been for those that don't deserve the best.

Getting things ready for the Nats. One Gold Car, three apple pies, one strawberry pie, a few Cubans, and lots of love for Pontiacs. Can't wait to see everyone...

Bob, you sure know how to spoil us (lol). I am really looking forward to seeing good friends and meeting new ones, not to mention driving down in the '71, and having some pie!
