Help a fellow 71' GTO owner out!
 
One of the guys over on CP has his 71' GTO in a contest on "Gold Eagle 104 octane boost" website. It's the Cardinal red 71' . Last week he posted he needed some help from Poncho owners because a Camaro was kicking his tail. He is going up a few points a day in the voting. I figure a post here might help him catch up!
Voting ends the end of December,and you can vote once a day. Thanks!:usa2:

That's how I felt,plus his car is similar to mine,so I take it personally!
When he first posted about a week ago,,the voting was about 77% Camaro,only 17% for the GTO. Now it's 52/37,so the goat is gaining fast!

F ROCK 12-15-2009 11:36 PM

DONE. one of mine was originally cardinal red too. (with white interior)

tigergto 12-16-2009 05:26 AM

Got my vote.

Rob-MI 12-16-2009 06:32 AM

Hes got a great lookin 71

The Boss 12-16-2009 07:55 AM

38% to 50%

Like they say in Chicago, vote early & often. ;)

Txbobcat 12-16-2009 09:43 AM

Ok done

Judge273 12-16-2009 10:43 AM

Boss it is all of Illinois! 39 to 50

UPC-WU2 12-16-2009 11:29 AM

Done
39 to 49.

67drake 12-16-2009 11:31 AM

Wow! He was at 33% yesterday morning,up to 39,in just 24 hours.
Maybe he'll get it after all.
Remember,in this case it's LEGAL to vote more then once.;)

Judge273 12-16-2009 02:36 PM

40 to 49 its getting close!

lilredgto 12-16-2009 02:46 PM

Drake,
Thanks for the posting Drake, support like this is what really makes owning a Pontiac something Special. I want to thank all the members who have voted as well. We are gaining on that Chevy!

GTOWoody 12-18-2009 09:42 AM

Just voted and it was 43% GTO and 46% for the other. ;)

67drake 12-18-2009 10:19 AM

Yeah,and look up in the "lobby" area,there is a little drama starting over this. The Camaro owner is questioning how lilredgto could gain so many votes.:rolleyes:

lilredgto 12-18-2009 10:29 AM

No Proxy cheating, just great support by members of this site. Thanks Guys and Vote for the Goat!!!

67drake 12-19-2009 12:22 PM

Just keeping the thread alive.
Did you vote today?
GTO is only behind by 2% now.

geezer1 12-19-2009 12:37 PM

Supporting a GTO is a lot better than than fighting my driveway with a snowblower! I'm glad that this was posted. Once a day is good!

UPC-WU2 12-19-2009 12:59 PM

Done.
Down by only one percent now!

The Boss 12-19-2009 03:03 PM

45% to 46%.....we're catching him!

Remember people, you can vote every day!

tigergto 12-19-2009 03:18 PM

Just voted again. It is now a dead heat.

Forrest 12-19-2009 03:20 PM

put my vote in, now to get my wife and daughter to jump in also!

F ROCK 12-19-2009 03:28 PM

i "checked" again. 45-45 now. will "check" again tommorrow.

allen smith 12-19-2009 04:01 PM

I just put my 2 cents worth in for the `71 voting, and it's still a dead heat.

lilredgto 12-19-2009 04:34 PM

Thanks for all the support guys.

72EnduraWagon 12-19-2009 04:42 PM

45%-45% nice car..

67drake 12-20-2009 09:27 AM

And the GTO takes the lead. 47/44

The Boss 12-20-2009 11:49 AM

We got him!!!

A.W.Dille 12-20-2009 08:06 PM

Another day another vote. Now all I have to do is remember to vote everyday as being a 71 owner myself (and have been since Sept 86) I am quite partial to that year.

lilredgto 12-20-2009 08:43 PM

Thanks A.W.Dillie. Would love to see some photos of the car. I've owned mine since Oct 31st 1985. Was a daily driver for 2 years. Then I came to my senses! Started Body off in 1997..finished 2000...but as we all know they are never finished!

A.W.Dille 12-20-2009 11:04 PM

lil you are so right. Mine was a daily driver for close to 15-19 years or so. Also it was my race car for about 15 of those years but after breaking the original frame and tearing up another one, along with getting my left knee hurt on the job nearly two years ago and tow surgeries (so far) I have retired it from the dragstrip and hit the local cruise scenes and club events. As soon as I can I'll post pics. But for an idea of what it looks like, pull up pics of F Rocks Orange 71, mine and his are virtually identical.

lilredgto 12-21-2009 12:20 AM

Looked for those pictures, but haven't found them yet, but that orange is sweet on the 71. Thanks again for the vote. Hope you remember tomorrow..LOL

The Boss 12-21-2009 08:43 AM

lilredgto 12-21-2009 09:31 AM

Thanks Boss for putting the link in your post, ends the last day of Dec!

OVERULD 12-21-2009 10:31 AM

Just voted for the second time and will continue doing so daily till it's over. What will you win in this contest?

Great looking 71 by the way!

BJ

70Steve 12-21-2009 11:13 AM

Just gave my vote too! If we can keep you in the lead I'd like to vote for the other GTO's as well!! That should be good for a laugh, if the C@#$*o drops down and Pontiacs end up 1,2,3.:p:D

GTO JOHN 12-21-2009 12:00 PM

I just saw this thread and voted. Made it my homepage for the rest of the month!!! :D

lilredgto 12-21-2009 12:01 PM

Thanks guys, and yes it would be great if we came in 1,2,3. but I'm sure he's pushing on several sites for votes..
If I win I receive a $100.00 gas card! Hey, that's a couple fill ups!

Sport71 12-21-2009 06:40 PM

Have to say I'm a fan of the body style myself....the red is nice too. ;)

A.W.Dille 12-21-2009 09:44 PM

Another one for Tom, he's pulling away. Good feeling for all of us goat owners.

form74 12-21-2009 11:38 PM

I'm voting often, twice already today, that's what we do here in Chicagoland.

lilredgto 12-22-2009 06:57 AM

Thanks Form, I appreciate the support! BTW, that's one nice looking formula!

A.W.Dille 12-22-2009 08:21 PM

Well Tom we are putting you ahead, 49%-42%. Nice to see you're ahead. As soon as I can get pics of mine transferred from the desktop to my laptop I'll try to post them.

lilredgto 12-22-2009 09:57 PM

Thanks A.W, I'm so hooked on this site. The tech info is fantastic. That's for the continued support.

lilredgto 12-22-2009 10:06 PM

I thought it only fitting to put a link to (Camaro) Dawgs site seeing as he has a link to ours.
