Sadly, I haven't run since I blew up my head gaskets over three years ago. The damage is fixed, but the car is still apart. Covid (my wife and I are both old and she was immune-compromised at the time) and a complete remodel of my house have taken all my time. I blow the dust off the car every once and a while, but that's it. Jim

I’m in the same boat as you for some of the same reasons, but I am retiring soon and think I can focus on the car much more then. For now I’m trying to something on it each week, even if it is only order parts some of those times. Good luck Rob

When I start back on it, that's how I'll do it--eating the elephant one bite at a time. That's how I'm doing the house remodel--doing almost everything myself and learning as I go along. I hope to finish the remodel soon (never completely done with a 75-year-old house
 ). Once I start back on the race car, I know I'll get into it quickly. Jim Quote:

We need an LS powered Race Section. They came in a lot of Pontiacs!

Two Issues with that deal, Scott.
1) None of the Pontiac Guys will admit what they are actually running. (all the way back to Arnie Beswick days.) 2) The knowledge base for the racers has dried up drastically with no Pete McCarthy, High Performance Pontiac, Car Craft, Hot Rod articles to speak of. As was said lots of interest in the LS engine vehicles with their events. David Butler was not stupid. The old board was some smack talking by P-Dude and Lil Jack backed up by racing. The East Coast Mafia has dried up. Personally I have no desire to read face book crap in a technical section of the board. Tom V.

In particular, Butler was smart to get in on the LS craze... I will probably use them for my build.. I don't have any social media at all so I can't see anything the East coast is up to other than texting Brian here and there... Those guys are pushing the limits every chance they can. |

I discussed this with my friends regularly. Once my generation is gone (54yo) This hot rod and racing stuff will almost be nonexistent.!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
