Good point. Not only are the SpeedWorld white tickets hard to read even after they are printed, but the ink completely disappears within two months. Maybe twist the track managers arm to get a new ribbon installed.

The silver lining for the "Second Place Finisher" in each race is that the yellow slips last forever and don't fade out. I think there's some dark irony at work here.

I agree! I wanted to keep a readable ET slip for my good runs, so I went to my opponents to see if I could have their yellow slips.

I didn't know they had white slips.

I have some good news and some very sad news.

First, the good.
I am happy to add a new event sponsor-

National Parts Depot

Also, Happy to announce the Mr Jim Ewen, Pontiac designer from 1957 into the mid 60s will be returning to do add to our already great line up of guest speakers.

The sad news is that this will be the last year for Pontiac Heaven at Speedworld Dragstrip.

It has been officially announced that Speedworld is closing permantently.

I cannot tell you all how saddened I am about this. This is bad news for every racing fan out there.

So, let's make this year, the 15th annual ( and last ), very special. It has been our annual reunion for Real Pontiac fans and we all have a lot of great memories. Make an extra effort to take a friend and to invite others to attend. I had wanted this track to stay forever for us and future generations.



I do plan to continue with Pontiac Heaven events. I would like to think that my efforts at Real Pontiac only events for 15 years have encouraged others to stay with Pontiac Power. Als also to encourage others to get into Pontiac power in any form. In that 15 year timeframe, the Pontiac engine has made great gains in availability of parts and improvements in design and strength. This is not the time to stop.

We already are looking into options for a new location for the future.

Thank you everyone who has attended and supported Pontiac Heaven since 1998.


The best way to keep current on Pontiac Heaven and its events is on my website. I will be posting info on the home page as it comes.
