The official Norwalk thread! :)
 

OK gang here it is!
Thank God last year has past us!


GTO George

I agree George. Hope to see you there. :)

I was thinking of getting a new sofa, great thread.

I’ll be there, I just hope my car is 100%!
I’ll know Friday when I make a pass, probably the 2nd timed run of the day!


George

we will be there with 3 cars as long as the 63 GP fits in the trailer.

Mike and I will be there, wandering around, talking to people and doing a little business. First time since 1996 that we won't be sending a car down the track.

Eric

The Raven Crew will be there with 2 cars, The Raven and the Lunatic.

Lord willing, I'll be there. Running with the Nostalgia Super Stock guys this year.

Gary, hope you can take the Lemans to the top!

Gonna be our first time to bring a car and only second time to actually go. This has been a bucket list thing for me since I heard of Norwalk many years ago. 16 hours on an open trailer...wish us luck...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e270bd485a.jpg

We are getting ready,'already this year's time flies. Talked to Jerry Brock yesterday,they are ready. Car running,truck inspected,trailer inspected(its that time of year for inspections). Just chased a brake light on problem in car. Ckd brakes no leaks,solid pedal. Still not out, going crazy, buddy said ck emergency brake pedal. It was down one click! Duhh! Hope everyone has a safe trip with the aggressive drivers out there.

You picked a great year to make the trip. They are expecting a record turnout and that's straight from the promoter based on a SOLD OUT swap meet spaces and record pre-purchases.

I'll be there to say "hello" to people and to display the hemi-Pontiac-powered lakester (with Tri-powered '59 GMC hauler).

Wish I was going, on the bucket list.

Unfortunately I can only attend on Friday due to having to attend one of the grand kids first birthday party on Saturday. As usual, my wife and I will be making the tour of the grounds in our black and gold 2 seat all terrain go kart, that is modified to look like a winged sprint car (see below):

I guarantee it will be the only one on the grounds. Wave me over if you wanna talk Pontiacs..........:)

I'll be towing the go kart with my yellow 05 GTO seen below:

I'm going to try to get to the track early friday AM, then leaving the event friday between 5-6 PM. We'll stop in Attica Ohio (Attica Raceway Park) to watch the sprint car races before we return home friday night.

Bringing my 65 Tempest street car. Hopefully it gets down the track unlike last time with the miscast aluminum intake when all it would do is spit and sputter. Can we still transfer from Linder's lot to the track on Thursday? AS I recall didn't we have to be there before 3?

I’m taking my Pontiac Ventura. It’s been more than 5 years since I’ve had it up there.

Guys, along with the most fantastic and exotic Pontiac 4-cyl ever, Jack's GMC is a must see beauty. The ultimate pick-up for a Pontiac person.

We will be there

Will be wandering around aimlessly on Saturday since I am without a funny car to be sweating on. Maybe I will just randomly pic someone's car and work on it in the heat all weekend just for old times sake.

IF YOU PUT AGAINST THE FENCE on the RT 601 side, the track power is very sketchy. Take your own generator at a minimum.

FWIW: I was running at Norwalk a week ago, and Bill Bader was running the head of the staging lanes. Gotta respect a guy who jumps in and does the work himself instead of just sitting in an office. Emailed him the next day, he does respond in a timely fashion.

Its great to be drag racing again. I'd been out of the drivers seat for 3 years myself. Then like a rookie *sshole, accidentally double-bulbed someone on Sat Night. I found their pit later and apologized for being a dumb*ss and explained my lack of focus from not competing for a long time. They thought my apology was unexpected and hilarious.

I am pretty jealous;
Although it seems we hit a bit of a grey area with driving over the border right now, the official shtick for the few of us north of the 49th is that we're "trapped"...

I hope many pictures are posted... so I can live vicariously through your posts :)

That's too bad you can't cross freely yet. I thought the northern border was open again. They play your National Anthem every day at the Norwalk event.

. Yes I’m one of the trapped guys also not happy. I very much appreciated the National anthem being played. To all have safe journeys and most importantly have fun be safe. Yes pictures please….

Sneak across will save your usual spot

Hey Gary ,wonder if I can get a barge and float across the lake to Cleveland::::

Sounds like a plan

During Prohibition, that's the way Canadian whiskey got to the cities on the northern shores!!!

The Purple Gang drove it across the frozen Detroit River.

Bill Meyer (Gold GT37) and I (Red 95 Firebird) will be making the journey from Minnesota. Last Pontiac Nats event for us was 2003. Really excited to meet many of you. We will be bringing some Pontiac Race parts to sell. Please stop by our trailer and say hi.

The Stag Racing Team will unfortunately not be able to make it this year. Pre-registered to race a couple months ago only to have our family vacation(that's been rescheduled more than once due to Covid) rescheduled for us to leave the Sunday of Norwalk. With a 10 hour tow one way, just can't justify coming to race on Friday only. Guess I'll live vicariously through here and FB.

Well CRAP!!! Maybe Chris and Andy can come with you next year

For $1,000 American I will get you on the Cable Trolley at Niagara Falls.
Course you have to travel at night and that Cable Car goes from the Canadian
shore to another spot on the Canadian shore, LOL.

GTO George

Johnny,
What engine combo you bringing???

Hope you can still make it to Great Bend, in fall!!!

I wish I could say its past us here. I live in Kansas City Mo. where the mask mandate has come back as of today. That is the sole reason I received the vaccine so I would not have to wear the mask! Erie times of control we are living in. We need many prayers for this nation!!:snow::usflag:

535 IAIIA, wide ports, solid roller, Victor, 1250 dominator...I hope to make great bend as well...I am sleeping in the truck in the hotel lot tonight with the car while wife and grandson are inside...weather is very nice here...

10:43am and Linders lot is packed!


GTO George

Any bets this will be the BIGGEST event at Norwalk since the pandemic shutdowns? Lets have the Pontiac people show them how it's done!!

Can I make a request?

Can someone please take note of all stock(ish) second gen Formula's there this year?
(even better if pictures are shared)

Pictures are always welcome!

Quick 16 could be FAST this year. I just saw a sweet 62ish tempest…… funny car cage and a turbo!, maybe 2!!


GTO George

Was it White?

Leaving at 7:00am

It's my turn to bring my car but not quite ready even if we could go .....we've brought Torquewars car twice.........Maybe next year....if all goes well to have this back together . Rear spoiler install rough till I get the trunk seal.......Andy and I will be talking to ya Gary ...Hope everyone there has a great time!!!!!!

White… cream……close enough! 😜



GTO Geprge

There’s a lot of different cars I haven’t seen before………cool!



GTO George

That was the last year I raced at Norwalk. Not making it this year. Many other things going on vacation wise with family and wifey didn't have enough leave to go.

FYI the Ice Cream was better than ever a couple weeks ago at the Division race. Y’all might wana make your way over there to get some.

Moose tracks was my flavor of choice

Lol....Just curious if it was this car
