Default Whats your favourite Pontiac related car show or race weekend? Why?
If/when we are allowed to travel internationally, I hope to get back to the States and go to more of your amazing car shows.

I went to the Good Guys Autumn Get-Together in Pleasanton Ca in 2019 and was blown away.

What are your favourite Pontiac themed shows or race weekends to go to?

Norwalk 2009 I took my 69 there just to see how the Judges judge the cars. I was in shock to find BIGDADDY took a First in class that year by 1 point. I had the best time ever at that show the racing, the friends, the PY BBQ. The ice cream. We had a blast took my kids who were my crew, we all had CREW BIGDADDY t shirts on for the judging. Stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. Best time ever! My car was also on the side of the PY tractor Trailer that year. Mike Nixon was there that year and gave me a parking violation at the PY BBQ slipped it under my wiper when I wasn’t looking He was a funny guy very missed!!

Norwalk has always been my favorite. If you like "Bigger is Better", no other Pontiac event is close.

Renting a golf cart is a must! To get all around the event.

LMAO!! actually yes it is because I made sticky Bunns for the PY BBQ that year, and it kind of stuck. My very good friend Troy Tribbs still calls me that.

Notice it’s still in my signature

Plan to spend the entire weekend! They have the biggest Pontiac parts flea market I’ve ever seen, racing, and the car show has cars from all over the country. Once you go once, you’ll be hooked for life!
