Here's to hoping you have a great turnout and I hope it doesn't affect later events. Unfortunately drag racing is the biggest attraction for me, but I may swing in and walk around. I hope Firebird gets things straightened out soon, and I'll look forward to any other events you might have.

This race will be annouced soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow as I have another meeting scheudled with the track president at that time. We are still ironing out details. The race portion is likely to be held in the evening and into the night as the weather will be nicer then. I'll be posting info on the show and hotel as well here soon.

Here is the latest on the Pontiac Heaven show for this spring. It is at a nice location and the Courtyard Marriot is offering a special "Pontiac Heaven" rate. There is also a bistro rest in the lobby where you can sit back indoors and enjoy a bite to eat, coffee or beverage. This location is very easy to get to. More info coming.
Special thanks to all my sponsors, volunteer staff and people who have attended. You are all so very much appreciated. The racing portion of Pontiac Heaven/Nostalgic Show & GO! weekend is in planning at Firebird. To be announced and likely to be in the evening and into the night due to the warmer weather. Probably late May or early June. The most current info is on www.pontiacheaven.org Also, my phone is always available to answer any questions 480-899-7873

Well,,,yesterdays show was outstanding!!!!! There were about 50 Pontiacs on the show field & a dozen or so swap spaces filled. Big thanks to Steve Barcak for hanginf in there through all the issues he has had this year with both SpeedWorld & Firebird raceways closing down. Next year will be bigger & better!!! Had a great time as always. I forgot my camera & didnt get any pictures but am sure Steve will post up everything as soon as he can. Thanks to everyone who came out/attended.

Our camera wasn't there, either. It was carefully packed away in the suitcase we left on our bed back in Tucson. I hate getting old.
The show was a success by any measure. There were a lot more cars than I expected and the weather was a little cooler than normal for May in Phoenix. But, wait 'til next year............. Jim

Big thanks to Steve for putting one of these things on...takes a lot of effort. Drove down from my new house in Prescott to have a look at the show and to meet Steve and find out when Keith's Tempest would be on the road, only to find out it was on the road...only with a different transaxle. Now I'm back at the old house in central Ca. coast just looking at all this stuff I have to move after my new garage is built! And I just love these 9hr drives!

Central CA coast too salty for your toys

Prescott's a great little town with a pretty active car culture, I'm told. I'll see you at the next Pontiac Heaven event .

I have to build my garage first before I put up my Ca. house for sale. A three car attached garage is not going to be able to take seven cars, tools and equipment, although I did move a 389, 355, and 455 plus a Roto and a T-400. I also moved a huge electric train board that goes on our old kitchen counter/cabinets to the divider between the two and one car garage. I still have a 455 and a 428, two Pontiac rear ends and numerous VW engines too......And my 62 Catalina is in pieces! The reason I was in Prescott this past week-end was I had to submit my plans to building and safety. The plans will be in plan check for not more than three weeks and then I will be able to break ground. I'm the general contractor. The garage will be 1632 sq feet and will have two lifts. We've already painted the inside of the house and have done tile in the great room and hallways, dining and sitting room and kitchen. I figured it was something to do before I start building. Culture shock??? Not in the least, Our son is renting a house from us in Laveen, so we've been your way many a time. Plus we meet the kids and grand kids in Prescott many times because they use Prescott to get out of the heat. I also joined the Prescott Antique Automobile club.....well over 100 members, and many live in the development where I bought. There are so many old retired farts like me driving through the neighborhood in their antique or hot rod cars all the time. Quite a mix of cars. One guy I know from the Olds club of America who lives in Chino Valley has over thirty Oldsmobiles! Most people are refugees from So. Cal. getting away from the political and fiscal mess! We looked for two years before we bought so we knew many people already. Now you guys will have a beer stop when you take your many adventurous road trips! Don |

Nice thing too about Prescott is I will be able to own some cars I would have never been able to do in Ca. There is no smog test on ANY car there. D. |
