The guy that owns this car actually jacked it up and clocked his tires. I think his emergency brake was broken. He didn't win anything.

What a perfect weekend! Best part of the show is hanging out with the motley PY crew!! Met a bunch of great guys.

Bentwheelbob, thank you again for your generosity this weekend and on the 1st Place hardware... That gold car was really beautiful!

I got to ride over to Tipp City with Ramair in his awesome survivor '72.

The trip was worth every one of the 2500 or so miles I'll put in before I get back home! Now it's time for ...

Congrats Tim. I was all ready to head out sat afternoon after a long week of putting together my 70. Finally got it fired on Saturday and then my shifter would not go into reverse. Then I accidentally locked my keys in the truck. After a hour and a half with the coat hanger I was done.

Thumbs up T/A Nationals 2015

Thanks to everyone for posting the pictures! Keep'em coming. Sounds like it was a great weekend for the 'Birds.
Congrats on all the awards too guys. Well deserved, from what I see in the pictures posted.

Hopefully I can attend next year.......

I was able to get a couple of my cars in a local show this weekend. Had a little gathering of Macho T/A's and other Pontiacs. Dennis Mecham was there to sign autographs.
Eric, (Edvisme on this forum) brought his Beautiful green 70 Formula 400. We all had a good time.

Nothing near the T/A Nationals though!!

Congrats to the winners! It was nice to meet you Bob, the car looked as amazing in person as it does in the pics. I had a brake line give way Saturday before Tipp but I was able to get it fixed in the parking lot that night with the assistance of a few friends. This made the trip for me: Herb Adams with my car and being able to talk with him one on one for a while. He will also be at the upcoming All Pontiac Show at the Museum in Pontiac, IL September 19th.



Where else would you ever see 3 together?

Congrats! Any interesting Adams Fire Am comments or tech observations?

I guess the most eye opening piece for me was the fact that the white/blue car was running a 427 Big Block Chevy when he raced it back in the day. I never knew that before.

Made it back home in one piece. Hit some wicked thunder storms yesterday in Illinois and Kansas that slowed me down a little bit.

Thanks for posting up the pictures!

OK, this is pretty cool from that annoying drone hanging around all weekend. Gives you an idea of the vastness of the attendance. Mine's the white one lol.

It was a great show and I had a great time. I had hoped to meet more of you from the forum. Because I was unable to get either the 72 or the 73 ready in time, I attended the show with the 2002 CETA, so I was parked off on the side lot. I hope to catch some of you next year, especially BWB, since my 72 and his 72 spent a little time together a few years ago.
