World Cup Race at MIR. WOW
I had a chance to go to the World Cup Race at MIR this pasted weekend. I met John Snider, Charlie and the rest of John's crew. I think that Charlie was under the car hooking up the tranny while towing the car to the staging lanes. That crew was thrashing to get the car ready for the last qualifier, nice guys. Mike Leech, congrats getting into the 7 N/A club. I am very impressed. He got the converter right for that last qualifier. I finally met John Langer, nice guy but I think he wanted to punch me in the head because of all the BS we gave each other on these forums. Then he probably thought twice because of my Italian heritage and the hard head that I come with.
 That is some intake he has. He was the fastest N/A car that qualified.Scott Rex, finally met the man that my son broke his N/A record, Nice guy, I could hang with him. WOW, I have never been to a race track that they had English and Spanish announcers, never been to watch a race where the spectators never sat down and stood on the bench seats. Never seen so many rice rockets, I take it back, I have never seen so many FAST Imports. WOW. Every time an Import beat a Domestic most of the spectators went mental. Those old (70s and 80s) rear wheel drive imports where all over the track on 1 or sometimes 2 wheels, they where flying. I think I want to go back next year and come down on the Thursday and see more time trials and qualifying. Oh Yeah, my friends still can't believe that 3 N/A Pontiacs cars with a single 4 and around 3,000lbs where in the 7s. We have the technology!!!! What did you guys that went to that race think of it ??? |

Hey Stallion, It was good seeing you too. Did you know that was me in the Grand Cherokee on Route 5 driving like a maniac? lol I figured you were just thinking "Who is this maniac in the Jeep"? on another note... Langer, Snyder and Leech kicked some ass in front of the whole world last weekend. Pontiac was well represented in the biggest imports vs domestic race.

Great to see the heavy hitting Pontiac's represent at an event like this. Anyone who went happen to remember what a few of the fastest Domestic and Import cars ran? And what cars they were. Just curious.

60man,Hi Troy, I am still trying to recover from building the 07 GTO. I am trying to come out next year. Lots of friends want to help, we all have the same problem, just not enough money. Thanks for asking.
Hi John, I am so glad that I came down to see you and your GTO. You made me feel right at home in your pit area. Meeting Leech, Langer and Rex was a bonus. Hi Scott, no I didn't know it was you, I thought you were a Trump supporter trying to get rid of another immigrant, ( a good looking Italian from Canada)   After you pulled up beside me I knew it was you. Scott, you got to get rid of the Jeep and get a Pontiac or a GMC truck to drive when you are not driving your Firebird. Boy do I ever miss coming to Norwalk and seeing all the Pontiac maniacs. You got that 100% right about what Langer, Snider and Leech did to make us Pontiac Proud!!! |

What's really funny is that Canada has real immigration policies. You can't just move there because you decide to do. You've got to follow the procedures to become a Canadian citizen. Just like were supposed to follow procedures here.
I digress. Was great to meet you at the track and we had a blast at the race with everyone. Already picking away at the combination trying to improve it.

Thank you for the link. I spent a little time looking over the ET's and MPH. At least from this list, if you eliminate the turbo Celica's and a couple of rotary engine cars, the rest of the imports fall off drastically similar to the NOPI import races we ran 10 years ago with the Grocery Getter. No doubt, the Toyota fork lift engine that powers the Celica's is one hell of a tough inline 6. 230+ MPH is allot of HP for ANY piston engine. Interesting.

Hi Mike, It is probably easier to get into Canada through immigration, even easier if you are a refugee. We let in 40,000 refugees in about 5 months this year.
I have no problem with immigration or refugees as long as they come to work here like my parents and do not try to force their heritage onto me or take away the Canadian heritage. Which they have done. No Christmas trees in government buildings, you can't say Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. You have to say Seasons Greetings now, yeah right. What would be your (have to do) for next years combo and if every goes right what would you really like to do with your car and combo next year? I sent you a PM. |

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.
