I think we'll be fine. Arizona the last few days has started to show a downward trend while other states are still struggling.

Matter of fact Goodguys has already cancelled events for next year as far forward as November 2021 for Colorado, California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and a couple others, but they are still on schedule at this point for this November in Phoenix, which happens to be 3 weeks after the scheduled Pontiac Heaven event.

As long as things continue on the downward trend I don't see any reason why either of these would cancel, especially the Pontiac drag race since the crowd is much less and easily controlled with plenty of room.

Plus as I mentioned, the track is scheduled to open this coming weekend.

Here is the event weekend flier with schedules, features and registration form.

I wonder what's up with Wild Horse Pass's website schedule? I'm looking at their schedule and they have all the races listed through Oct-Nov except this one. For some reason the weekend of Pontiac Heaven and Nov-1st they skip right over that weekend with no mention of this race.

Not sure that's doing you any favors Steve. They aren't great about answering the phone, phone messages, or emails either if you have any questions. I've tried that with no success.

Steve just checking on this. Is it still on schedule for the days listed.
Just want to make sure so I can make plans to attend.

In case Steve doesn't chime in,


I talked to Mike who is friends with Brad (starting line guy works for Wildhorse) and he confirmed the event is still a go. Why it's not listed on Wildhorse's website is beyond me but not surprised as they haven't seemed to update that regularly or correctly in the past either.

I had actually planned to come your way for CamaroCon next month but they cancelled it. Not sure why since your track has a full list of events posted for next month. Oh well.

It is with regret that I need to announce that the Pontiac Heaven Weekend will have to be rescheduled for a later date. This is primarily due to covid issues. While the track has reopened, they are not allowing spectators in and I cannot run the event without them. Spectators include- car show entires, swap meet entries, etc. not just walk ins.
Pontiac Heaven weekend is marketed to people all over the US and beyond. It is not practical for people to take off work, resv hotel rooms, etc and not know if they can get in to enjoy the event, etc.
Those who know me,know I am not good at quitting or giving up but, have to be practical especially with the 10s of thousands of dollars involved to run the weekend.
As an alternative, I am trying to put together a Friday night ( Oct 30 ) drag/show program including 2 classes for Pontiac powered vehicles- trophy and money class. Plus other classes. I will keep you posted on the Pontiac Heaven face book page soon if that can happen. It will be geared to a more local crowd though, of course, all Pontiac powered fans could enter. Please check back.
I am sorry to have to make this announcement, it is hard to do but, the best thing. Thanks to all my sponsors, staff and friends who have helped out. We hope to do the weekend at a later date. SB
Also due to the virus

Sorry to hear this Steve.

So is the Nostalgia weekend (Saturday) also cancelled?

Yep, so dumb, Dreamcruise happened. I went all day, no mask, we didn’t get sick.
Casinos, and Walmart’s are the safest places to be. Lol

I know we've had a lot of car events cancelled up here where I am, but I can say that the few we have had this year have all been more crowded this year than any year prior. Small car shows that normally attract 75-100 cars literally have been flooded this year with 300+ and spilled over into other adjacent parking lots like never before. I attended every single one of them that I could find to show my support.

It's pretty obvious that the car community up here and the people I know are starving for car events, and I've seen the same thing in Phoenix. I'd bet that if Steve decided to put on the event anyway regardless of spectator activity and advertised it well enough, he could have likely had the best car count at the event to date.
