I am happy to announce that one of our guest speakers will be Jeff Kauffman coming from Ohio. Others to be announced. We will also have a cruise in car show along with the tech sessions, speakers. Friday eve, we will have a kick up gatheirng at the drag strip including Pontiac powered brackets and open test and tune. Saturday, April 6 is the main day of car show, drags, vendors, swap meet, special exhibitions and displays- many not seen elsewhere. Sunday April 7 is the Nostalgic Show & Go! welcoming other vintage brands to compete with our Pontiacs in the show and the bracket racing. There will also be vendors, swap meet and more on Sunday. Much more to be announced. keep current on www.pontiacheaven.org

We'll be there, Steve, and proud to be associate sponsors again. My '63 Tempest will likely still be in transition to blown alky (), but the '60 Cat will definitely be there, hopefully painted and racing with Ellen at the wheel.

Steve,,,You know I will be there!!! Wow 15 years already!! I remember the first one I attended. My car ended up getting stuck in the parking lot. Starter went out & you & I had to push the Tempest onto the show field!!! I pulled the bendix off the starter & cleaned the contacts & was back on the road by the end of the show!! I am, and sure everyone who has attended the past events, really appreciate the time & effort you spend to host a first class Pontiac Heaven event!!! Its always an honor & pleasure to work with you sir!! Cant wait till April!

I know my brother is planning on taking his 65 Gasser over. Not sure if I can drag the 64 out but it would be waaaaaaaay cool to get both cars together again.

This 3rd gen bird now lives with a Real pontiac engine swapped in and even has alum heads! Now, that is how to really get the most of your 3rd gen!

My son Mark and I will be there, and we have already made hotel reservations. Our fellow members from the Inland Empire GTO Club will be coming out again, and we've talked a few others into attending as well. I guess we better get to work on the cars or we'll be spectators.

We'll be there...
Reservations made and Mrs. Spin and I will be there, making our tenth appearance at our favorite drag race event .
Not sure what we'll drive at this time; waiting for the busted TA to emerge from the Batson Garage/skunkworks so I won't be limited to only two cars to chose from .
