Default 2020 Pontiac Uprising

Here are some pictures from the Uprising at Great Bend if anyone is interested. Show pictures will come first and when I rest up a bit I'll post up some race photos.













































Sheesh, my clicker finger is about worn out. I'll be back later with those race pics.

And as I've said before, pro photographers have nothing to fear from me. Hope you enjoy them regardless.

Okay, my fingers have recovered a bit, (arthritis is...a pain) so here are those race photos.

































Hi Mike!

































And that's it, that's all I got. There was a great turnout this year and there were a lot more cars than I got pictures of. I couldn't spend all my time taking pics, I had bsing to do too.

Edit: I would like to express my appreciation to the Wichita GTO club for all the hard work they go through to put on this event. It's a great venue and loads of fun. Thank you all very much!

Next year, YOU ARE GOING TO BE SICK ON THIS DAY!!!

I made the 5 hour drive Saturday, to and from. It's a little too far to do that, by myself. Next year, when the virus is kaput, I will come up on a Friday, and do the motel deal. There's too many maotels in Great Bend to not take advantage of them. The town is awesome!!!

We need to get this event rolling, like the Norwalk deal. I talked to a LOT of folks. Man, there came from ALL over the country!!! Would like them to ALL come back, please!!!

Richard, well done on the pictures, waiting for the rest you have!!!

I have some, will post soon!!!

Murf, Glad to meet you and your wife!!! Your car is awesome!!!

Lord willing next year I will have our Pontiacs back together and can test out their new pavement at the next Pontiac uprising.

Hopefully a semi load of them:

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
