Love to see the show field for the rare and unique stuff....and bring on the big cars. Love them all.
Thinking everyday about it....weather man better be kind.
Can't wait to see what your car does!!!

Have you made any passes with new combo yet?

And for those who have never been, they run shuttles back and forth so no need to worry about bringing more carts & bikes

I’m here and have a golf cost. I think they need to reduce it down to golf carts only. Gators and Razrs have no place in the show or swap area IMHO.

Well what can I say as a first timer...overwhelmed and impressed. The track and staff were great .
CNC and I had a spot in the track area thanks to Form 74 and his neighbours.
Show field had some of the nicest cars ive seen. Swap area very impressive.
So we arrived at noon and unpacked then teched the car .
So Trash can...im happy how the car worked in the heat. Tire pressure adj and got a 11:14 122. Swapped to the T-2 big carb and and a hour later 10 :98 124 .
Me and Chris swapped back to the RPM and quad . Big carb has something wrong with it. We went Saturday morn into town with it numbered and drag radials did some grocery shopping. Came back unloaded and they called for street class. ....quickly got to the lane and got a 11:02....happy happy. The track prep was the key.
Cant say enough about the staff there , I thanked them. Met some great folks and saw some beautiful race cars that ran hard.
Had a blast....

Another year in the Books, Great Time seeing old Friends and meeting new ones. Some good racing and some Bad A$$ Cars.

No problem saving the spot for you Andy (Torquewar) and Chris (CNC).

Is it August 2019 so we can do it again.

Really enjoy the Norwalk Show every year, worth the 2.5 hour drive each way. But what's with all those Rally II wheels in the swap area? Seems like every seller had them for $300 and up for a set. I guess if they were date code matched or some special code the cost might be justified, but they weren't advertised as such. I remember years ago swap meet sellers were practically giving them away.

Another great year. Once you go, you have to keep coming back. Thank you Ames for hosting this event every year and keeping the Pontiac name alive for all of the true believers.
