I spoke with George Reeves and expressed an interest in possibly moving the Southern Nationals to the San Antonio area. We usually plan one of the largest "open" car shows in the area in the month of September. We have had an average of 125 entries in the last 3 years. I know that with an all Pontiac show major planning is involved. George offered advice and help with what he could.
Our club is the South Central Texas Chapter of POCI and we have 55 members and growing. Several members are very interested in trying to make the Southern Nationals happen in San Antonio. We are scouting some locations that can hold 200 cars to display and maybe 40-50 trucks with trailers. Hotels that are in close proximity to the show and near some San Antonio attractions and again with space to park truck & trailers. We have a new 1/4 mile racetrack in Marion (just 20 minutes outside of SA) that recently hosted the first Super Chevy Show in the San Antonio area.
I am the new president of this club and I know I can get at least 15 dedicated members that could pull this off. Our September open car show planning is underway so this next year may be tight for us but we are definatly shooting to organize something for 2007.
If we were to have an all Pontiac show and race in the San Antonio Area, how many would consider the drive down to the River city?
