Sneak Peek - Pontiac Journal - Holidays 2006
The Pontiac Journal | | | Holiday 2006 | The Pontiac Journal - A Performance Years Newsletter | Volume 4 - Issue 3 | | We would like to apologize for the delay in the release of this issue of the Pontiac Journal. Sometimes there are real-life issues that need to take presedence over your work (no matter how passionate you are about it). We would like to thank everyone for their patience and encouragement.
As always, your comments and criticisms are always welcome. We encourage you to email us with whatever comes to mind. PontiacJournal@PerformanceYears.com
Thank you and Enjoy this issue! |
| NEW "WRITE-IN" SECTIONS OF THE PJ |
Hi Everyone,
We would like to add two new sections to the Pontiac Journal but We'll need your help. We'd like you to write us with performance and restoration questions that you have or want to know more about. From the questions that we receive, we will choose one Performance question and one Restoration question for each issue of the PJ. Then we will pose those questions to the leaders and most knowledgeable guys in those fields and post their responses.
The idea is that when you ask a performance or restoration question on the forums, sometimes you get varying answers from guys that have some experience with your issue but the most knowledgeable guys in the field aren't always around to steer you in the right direction. Here is your chance to get your questions answered by the guys you've looked up to and envied for their Pontiac knowledge and experience.
So, if you have a Performance or Restoration question that you're having trouble getting a definitive answer to, type it in an email and send it to PontiacJournal@PerformanceYears.com and you might get it answered on the next issue of the Journal.
Thanks! |

| PONTIAC'S SPORT WOOD WHEELS | Chris Casperson |  
For years, probably the most sought after option for GTO's and early Firebirds was the Sport Wood Wheel. Starting in 1964, Pontiac introduced it's first optional Sport Wood wheel. The new wheel featured a 4 spoke brushed aluminum spoke design with the spokes aligned at 2, 4, 7 and 10 o'clock. The teak wood rim was split by a chrome ring making this wheel extremely difficult to reproduce or repair cracked or worn wood surfaces. The collar was also brushed aluminum extending approximately 5" to cover the gap between the wheel and the steering column. The large chrome center cap had a prominent red and chrome Pontiac arrow and the word 'Pontiac' across the top. This 4 spoke wheel did not ...

Putting Real Excitement Back in Pontiac Clubs | Keith MacDonald |
It’s very late and I’m wandering around the steamy, rain-soaked parking lot during my first night at the Louisville GTOAA Nationals. The intense thunder and lightening storm has barely subsided, yet in the darkness there’s a frat party going on under one of the tents outside the hotel.
“What the heck are a bunch of frat boys doing at a GTO event?” I ponder as I pass by their tent...
