Just wondering where everyone of us 74-76 TA owners are!?!? I can't wait for spring.. I think I put 50 miles on my TA last year. I hope to take it to the TA Nats (me and the wife and no kids) this year. We'll see. Meanwhile, I need a good Poncho mechanic to take a look at her and figure out where the low rpm miss is coming from. Any good shops in Maryland?

C-Ya!

I'm here

I'm just too poor right now to afford to do anything with my play car. Luckily I have not had to sell it yet

Looking at where people are posting from I thought of this:

I lived for over seven years north of Parkville

I spent 8 months in Illinois last year

Indianapolis airport seemed like my second home last year

If I could stay home more often maybe I'd finish my 76.

I'm around, but I have the same problem as most of you - no time or money!

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.

Welcome to the board! I'm actually about an hour and half away from you. I'd like to invite you to one of our races (Outlaw Pontiac Drag Series) at Mason/Dixon Dragway. It's located just outside of Hagerstown, MD. We have a few board members that run with us. Bring the whole family if you wish, there's a family recreation center right across the street that has mini-golf, go-carts and other fun stuff. It's just off of I-70.

This race series is sponsored in part by Performance Years Pontiac.

Thanks PERFORMANCE YEARS PONTIAC for your contributions to our race series! www.outlawpontiacs.com

I'm here too... been around forever, I just don't post that often anymore because I'm so busy. I have a '76 Trans Am (pictured to the left) that is listed in the "Tell what bird you fly" topic.

I'm actually working on my fiance's '78 Trans Am now... I have most of the paint stripped, now doing a little body work. I have to get a hold of a passenger side front fender and door though before long.

Later,
Kevin

Hey Kevin, I checked out your site. Nice car, but what's with all the 'micro pics'?

Click on them.... they get bigger.

I suppose that I should probably write that somewhere on the page.

Later,
Kevin

One other thing, to E. Cox and anybody else thinking of going to the T/A Nats.... do it! Awesome show, last year there were 576 birds of all types representing all years.

Here is a link to a couple of pics I took from teh cruise (I haven't posted any from the actual show, these are just the Saturday cruise).

Click on the pictures for enlarged shots.

Kevin

Agreed, it is a fine show. I can't say much for the judging but that's just me. It is without a doubt the single larges gathering of TAs/Firebirds you'll find. I've been a few time. Probably won't go this year because PSN and POCI are in my back yard. That 12 hour drive, one way, is too hard on old farts like me.

BTW, if any of you haven't heard, there's a new web site just for second generation bird owners.

http://www.transamcountry.com

As for working on cars, mine got a brake upgrade this winter. Dual piston aluminum calipers on the front now and a good rebuild of the back drums. I can now stop the beast without gritting my teeth and clenching my buttocks.
