Only one 61......isnt that unusal? I've never attended the Tri Power Nationals but I've always been told it is the place to go. Any thoughts as to why there were no 61s, what about 60s?

I didn't look real thoroughly. I got there Friday afternoon at about 2:00 and ended up talking to a bunch of folks and didn't really getting around much figuring that I would do that Saturday. I did walk the swap meet (Saturday that would have been a swamp meet) And of course the rains came Saturday morning at about the time I was having breakfast and it rained until about 3:00 in the afternoon.

I think a bunch of folks packed up and left as I almost did. I went back down to the track around 4:30 or so, did the buffet and took pics for an hour or so. I didn't even get to the other side of the track or watch any of the racing.

There were a few 61's. A cream one and a Bristol Blue one for sure. May have been others, but can't recall. I'll post some pics later.

Great to see everyone. Agree about that Black 2+2. I spoke with the owner of that one a few times. had a 6 spd trans in it. (check out the shift knob)

I vaguely remember the bristol blue one. It was clear down at the end of the Pontiacs on Parade near the campground

Willshire! Great to meet you, man. I had a long list of people to see, so I apologize for not getting back to your camp site.

My 1st Norwalk in the books. Great ride from NC. Just over 1300 miles total. Made the trip with two other friends/cars, '67 Bonneville and a '67 Firebird. Everywhere we stopped it was like a mini car show.

Had a great time, even with the rains. At that time we moved under the grandstands and watched the judging. Cool meeting everyone. Finally met Keith V. after all these years, knew him through a friend who bought parts from him years ago (and has done nothing with them btw). I was behind Engine-Ear Sat morning, couldn't miss him, Sunfire Red more door with the helmet in the back window. Ran into miltmilton also. And I'm probably forgetting some names too.The Darksider shirts definitely work and stand out in a crowd.

Was there all 3 days which gave me time to meet and talk to many owners and spectators and glad I was able to help some out with some tech info on things I had already been through on my Safari. I do wish I had $1 for every double take when a passerby would notice the 4 speed

Just outside of Norwalk we stopped at a great breakfast buffet in the Amish country and took some photos.

Here's my picture contribution. Looking forward to next year.
