[Old Blue 66]

HOT OFF THE PRESS!!

INDIAN UPRISING DATE CHANGE FOR 2014 and beyond - The Cruisin' Tigers have been presented with an outstanding opportunity. An opportunity that allows for an event of this magnitude to stand alone on its own weekend without conflicting with other great shows in the hobby. The Dupage Expo Center had a new date available and we grabbed it!

The 24th Indian Uprising All Pontiac Weekend moves to the second weekend in August.

NEW DATE FOR 2014 - Saturday & Sunday August 9th & 10th.

This opens the doors for a lot of new and exciting additions to the show which will be announced very soon. Stay tuned folks!

[form74]

That is great hate missing your show due to Norwalk is usually the same weekend.

[YNOBIL]

2014 will be the best show ever for the Cruisin' Tigers! Not only more cars but also the big time vendors can now cover both shows.

[ponchjoe]

[kylek350]

Well, this sounds very promising. I don't know if I can handle all the stimulation of Norwalk AND the Uprising, back to back! ;)

[Judge273]

Norwalk is very stimulating for a Pontiac guy.

[Old Blue 66]

[Old Blue 66]

Is this also a swap?There is a swap meet all weekend. Plenty of space. Space is free as long as your selling used parts.

[Old Blue 66]

Jim Mattison of Pontiac Historical Services will be a guest speaker on Sunday. We've had Jim attend a show many years ago and the seminar room was packed.

Don Keefe will be a guest speaker at the show on Sunday. Don has become a favorite person to talk to at the show. We're glad to have him back again this year.

As always, Jim Wangers who is a good friend of the Cruisin' Tigers will speak on Sunday.

Each of the above special guests will scour the show field Sunday looking for their favorite car which will get an award as a celebrity pick!

The Jim Wangers GTO Celebration - Celebrating 50 years of GTO's

12:00 Saturday during our show. We're putting together a huge gathering of all year GTO's. We'll celebrate with Jim as he selects GTO's that he feels best represent the hobby. He'll hand out FIVE personally autographed trophies and a few other surprises too.

Even the greatest ideas in the world never made it big because of the lack of marketing. Jim Wangers was the man that made us all feel like we wanted to to own one. We cant think of a better person to celebrate the anniversary of the cars that drive our passion in the hobby.

Be there or be square!

[Big Injun]

Less than 60 days to show time boy and girls.

Show planning is well under way records have been set for pre-registration.

You can do that here and avoid the long lines on show day!
http://www.cruisintigers.com/indian-uprising.html

Also please visit the page above to see the great companies that support The Indian Uprising with generous donations that make the show possible. We have a ton of new attending sponsors so if you wanted to talk with Butler about a new motor, you can.

Also, don't forget that all F Body cars is this years feature car which get special parking on show day!!

[pontiacs4ever1971]

[Old Blue 66]

Thank you!!!!!!

[Old Blue 66]

This thread is quiet this year. Who's coming out?

Less than 45 days away!!

[Brewster]

My car wont be ready however I might show up driving an import ;) Will see you either way my friend!

[Old Blue 66]

Depending on what parts you use to restore your car, you might be driving an import either way :D

[Norwood]

Depending on what parts you use to restore your car, you might be driving an import either way :D

Now thats FUNNY

[Old Blue 66]

Seriously though, registration is WAY up, sponsor money is right on target for our goals, all events are set in stone and the show is almost ready to go. With all the f-body cars that should be there as the feature car, Ill bet we break 450 cars on Sunday and 400 cars at the cruise night on Saturday.

Lasts year our specialty car was Fiero. We were lucky to get one every year. Last year we got 33!! With the Firebird being the second most popular car at the show, the turnout should trump GTO's which is always has the biggest turnout.

[Old Blue 66]

Our very own Matt Planning (otherwise know to the usual suspects as Enginear) is sponsoring the show in a new way.

Matt will hand out a special award for the longest driven Pontiac to @ in the show and along with that, the winner will also get a RediRad so they can plug in any mobile music device into their stock Pontiac radio. Cool stuff!

Whats a RediRad? www.rediscoveradio.com

Driving a long way to The Indian Uprising? You may just be a lucky winner in less than 5 weeks.

[Norwood]

You and I are out on that award

[74 SD455 Formula]

Yea,
Me too unless you count walking !!!!!

I have a whole 83mile's one way.......

[Old Blue 66]

You and I are out on that award

Craig, Im about 12 minutes away. Whats your time?

[rontiac]

Would the traveling chassis dyno be at the show like a couple of years ago?

I'd definitely roll the LeMans up for a spin!

[tripower]

How about closest to the show provides beer then?

[Old Blue 66]

As mush as we liked having him, not many people took advantage of his services. He didn't make any money so we both thought it might not be the right fit.

[Old Blue 66]

How about closest to the show provides beer then?

Yea, I think Craig lives closer. :D

[Old Blue 66]

Tim Dye from the Pontiac Museum will be at the show and hes bringing a car form the museum and will have a vendor space. Just an FYI.

[Old Blue 66]

Just a heads up. We are over the top with pre-registration. That's good thing!

It also consides with all the other things that are coming in higher than normal. Like vendors, hotel requestes, swap requests and loads of questions via email and phone calls. The point here is that this thing is showing sights eveywhere of being the biggest Uprisng in our clubs history.

Avoid the long registration lines and pre register online so you can fly right on to the show field. It's only $20. We're expecting at least 450 cars this year.

Www.cruisintigers.com. Click Indian Uprising.

[Norwood]

How about closest to the show provides beer then?

Stop we will have a few

[Brewster]

In a thing we call the White Cooler! ;)

[Norwood]

I hope

[YNOBIL]

Stop we will have a few

Merlot wine for me.

[Old Blue 66]

Yea I'm more of a vodka drinker, preferably Grey Goose.

[Old Blue 66]

LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Norwood]

Maybe I'll wash the car.

Do you have to register for the free swap space ? I have a car I want to sell. Is there a car corral or do they go in a free swap space ?

No car coral. I suppose you can park it in a swap space.

Paul,
In the past years I seen people either put there car in the show or in there vending spot when trying to sell a car.It's probably easier in the vending area though.

Well, we do allow for sale signs on the show field. I think either way, you get exposure, but it sure would be nice to register a car so the $20 goes to the kids.

[Old Blue 66]

Just a word to the wise: Pre-registration closes this Friday.

http://cruisintigers.com/indian-uprising.html

[Coupe62]

Are the free swap spaces also 10x20 and do you still have to pre register for those ? Is there a layout drawing, or diagram somewhere as to where all the things are going on, Like trailer parking, show field, swap and vender areas ?

Swap space is free and you can take as much space as you need as long as you are selling used parts. No need to pre register for that. First come , first served on that area of the show. We also have enough staff to direct you to where ever you want to go on the show grounds which includes trailer parking. The show is on one big flat area of land (roughly 12 acres), so its pretty easy to see where everything is. Sponsor/vendor area is right in the heart of the show near the indoor arena. Food is in the same area as well.

[74 SD455 Formula]

Next Sunday mourning a group of us are meeting up in Elkhorn,WI to cruize down to the show.If anybody is interested in hooking up with us PM me and I'll let you know where and when.See you there........

-1961 Latham supercharger...COMPLETE! New....but sitting for awhile....excellent condition.

I'll add to list after I load up tomorrow night.....

Off to the Grove tonight to see what the new intake/carb does on the LeMans.....:3gears:

[61 Bubble]

I am considering the sale of my 1961 Pontiac bubble top project. I love this thing; perfect project BUT house purchase/move and acquisition of yet two other project has me scrambling.
I have great plans for the car but I need to think about everything else now. Have clear title in hand - this is a roller, no engine or manual transmission!

Just received PHS documentation to be included.

Car is located about 30 minutes north from Indian Uprising event if you care to come see.

[Engine-Ear]

Another great-weather day here in the upper mid-west. While we are silver sponsors of the show, we are not exhibitors.

Instead, and in the spirit of Norwalk last weekend, the mighty 64 Tempest (Ramblin' Rose) brought me (and, unlike last weekend) and Mrs. Engine-Ear reliably.

Another round of meeting PY and Classical Pontiac friends, seeing some truly beautiful iron behind us for today.

The weather tomorrow is said to equally-superb. So if you're within a couple hour's drive of St. Charles, fer cripe's sake, get in your Freedom Machine and get to the DuPage County Expo center.

See you HERE!

[Judge273]

Yesterday was a glorious day for a pre show. Some really great cars in and around to name a few.

Inside was full of beasts! A 69 TA vert, 69 Judge RA IV CR 4 speed with a companion 69 Judge 4 speed vert LB on Blue with a retractable rear attena.

Nice array of TAs line a row including a 72 TA 4 speed survivor LB with deluxe Blue with very low miles. Fire hawks, Bandits, Early birds and built up ones too.

Expect over 400 cars today big show. Leaving with my Sundance Formula soon.

[Old Blue 66]

Unbelievable. The 24th Annual Indian Uprising goes in the books as a monster success. 452 Pontiacs all on the same field. Tons of money raised for children's charity and a lot of happy faces walking around the Dupage Expo Center. It just doesn't get any better.

A very sincere thank you to all everyone who supported the show and made it such a success!

Alright Craig your right we did talk crap about everyone and had fun at there expence.I had a great time so did the two newbie's I brought with me who said that they will be back next year with friends with Ponhcos. My only regret was not trying the Home brew of Applecider,but I had a long drive home. Maybe next year when I bring the Yellow car I'll come a day earlier so that I can have some.How many SD-455 car's did you see there ?

Jim, yours was the only SD at the show. Sad thing is there are no less than 8 SD cars within 10 miles of this show and none of them came out.

[The Boss]

Ahhh, once you've seen one yellow SD, you've seen them a.....wait, there's one more. ;)

Looks like a great show, thanks for the pics!

[Judge273]

I will say one thing about Jim's 1974 455SD Formula.

That's a survivor car! Original paint, original paint on engine, and never out of bay!

Plus he drove it from Wisconsin and shared the documentation on this beauty. Still has the knock outs from spare keys from GM! All the pieces that came from factory and a dealer emblem on trunk!

Best of show would have been my award!

BTW: Tim makes good apple pie!

[gtojon]

Congrats to Scott Shaffer for the Best In Show award with his freshly restored black '70 Ram Air IV Judge Hardtop!

[pontiacs4ever1971]

Thanks Mike. It was good to meet you. Come down to the Pontiac show in Pontiac Illinois. I will have another jug lol.

[kylek350]

That black Judge was definitely a stunner! Impressive work by Tri Power Automotive.

[Old Blue 66]

Congrats to Scott Shaffer for the Best In Show award with his freshly restored black '70 Ram Air IV Judge Hardtop!

That car caught me eye so many times. Congrats again Scott. It was a HUGE pleasure just handing that award to you!

[Engine-Ear]

What a great weekend! Thanks, Paul, et al.

Remember, if your car was registered at the show, check your goodie-bag for the RediRad flier...on it, you'll find a special discount code for free shipping until the end of September. Don't wait!

[Judge273]

I didn't stay for awards again. My bad, but it's more the cruise there and back.

Glad to see a 70 Judge getting the top award!

Big show brought some great cars and better people!
