Hey I use to be from Windsor Ontario, but now I'm in Michigan. By the way there was a Firebird show one year at the Grand Bend Dragway. Does anyone know what happened to that show.

Question, why did all the Ontario folks that I saw at the Trans Am nationals several years ago, seem to have attitude in spades?

I like looking for Canadian license plates when I'm state-side...

What's better than seeing Canadians state-side, is seeing people from your home province (in my case, Alberta);
And what's better than that is to see Albertians state-side, who welcome you to hang out with them!!

yup.

I hope to run into the guys again, and be able to return the favor;
They were truely wonderful, and made me feel right at home with them - even though I was driving a (as it has been coined on one of these sites) "disposable tin can of a car"... lol

They made my Pontiac Nationals trip so much better than I had thought it might be.

If it's of any consolation, pretty much all the Ontarians at hte Trans Am nationals were driving third gens... so maybe the guys with second or first gens are cooler

The crew we go down with are all down to earth car people.

Last nationals we took our new 69 Firebird Sprint we newly acquired. The others that came down had a 90GTA, 78TA, 76TA, and a 89V6.
