I'm now sorry I went and found the best path into the show with the least exposure to the construction and told you about it. I'm not trying to tell people to not go to the show as much as trying to help my fellow pontiac people find the best way in which is encouraging them to come.

They cancelled the corvette show here because of the road construction. I don't drive my car thru construction zones that's all..so I took the extra time to find the safest way in for me and my friends and let you know about it.

Craig you wouldn't drive brewster's car thru that area you would take the path Into the show I suggested. It's like a 2 mile detour but still gets you into the show. Why beat me up about it??

I'm disappointed with the negative responses Take anyway into the show you want I was going to the show despite the construction. I feel personally attacked here for trying to lend some intelligence so don't take my advice if you don't want to.

Phil, I definitely appreciate your post with directions! I made a comment last year about the construction when they had the POCI convention. I was just letting everyone know to be cautious. Well Paul and a few others didn't appreciate my post either. It seems like attendance numbers are more important then are cars. I have seen your car, and I wouldn't drive it through road construction either! I have the issue of High Performance Pontiac with your formula in it. THAT IS THE NICEST FORMULA I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I'M WITH YOU!!

Ive really tried to steer away from the construction thing. Obviously it wont die.

Construction
. This is the Chicago area. Its a way of life here. North Ave in St Charles is under a major renovation of road that badly needed it. Nobody is hiding anything. Its called CONSTRUCTION. Its either there or it isn't. Its running two lanes in both directions while most of the work is being done. I drive this route all the time. The roads are in very good condition considering the circumstances.

2012 was the biggest documented POCI convention in POCI history. Construction was not hidden from anyone. Last year over 1000 cars came to the show. Im sure that there were cars there just as nice as what ever Pontiac you drive. They may have trailered their car or they may have driven it. Either way, they came out in droves.

The fact that you post my name or the club that Im affiliated with saying that we don't care about the cars just our numbers is a bunch of BS and offensive. The CTGTOC takes ever precaution to make sure your cars are safe while on show grounds. Please, if you are so incredibly afraid that while driving 30 mph for a mile or two something may happen to your car, you may need to find another way to get the car there.

I have so much more to say but Im gonna get off my soap box before I get hurt.

I'm not knocking you or the cruising tigers at all! Just stating that I think it's BS when you have someone like FormulaPhil being nice enough to find an alternate route to avoid the construction. Yes there is always construction, but that doesn't mean we have to drive through it. Sorry if I offended you Old Blue 66, but how do you think others like FormulaPhil feel when all anyone is trying to do is have a good time and enjoy our cars. Enough said.
