I'm hoping to bring my Tempest this year, if all goes well. I haven't been for quite a while. The last time i attended was with my '64 GTO, maybe ten years ago. I really like that track and that event.
Jim

Hope to see you there. Richard

We're heading out in the morning from New Mexico. We plan to get there on Friday afternoon. The weather is looking good. Should be some good air---and some good times---for cars and drivers.
Jim

Race safe Jim!
Right now, I'm envious of your weather. Summer ended with a bang here- didn't get out of the fifties today!

Thanks to all participants, spectator's and sponsor's!!!
Had a great time, was thankful for nearly perfect weather. I wanted to see Jim's car up close, and others...not enough time and other factors. Richard, did you take any pictures? I got to talk to owner of green full size 65 wagon running 14.30's, forgot his name, BUT he is a relative of Jim Hand's. Wagon was cool, wondering if he is a member here, if so, let me know, or what his name is!!! I'd like to know more about that car/combination!!! Got to talk to Robin Proffit (spelling?) some, hopefully spoke some words of encouragement to her. It's been difficult for after losing Cap. He is missed by everyone! Still praying for Robin. Hey, Tim "speed racer" Dodson, see you at Tulsa! It was great to see Arnie there! Even his one "half" pass I saw was awesome! I asked him if he was going to do his slide after the burnout and tap the guard rail, like he did several years ago at Ark City...LOL He told me that deal was not "on purpose"...LOL Best of all my fellow travelig Pontiac enthusiast Richard "A" got to talk to Arnie for a while. Richard has lived in Oklahoma since 1980, and had not talked to Arnie in a long time. For some reason, none of us are getting any younger...

Oh... hey, were you talking to me? No, last year I took around 70 pics and posted them here but this year I left the camera at home.

Thanks, Richard! Good to see you again. Do you know the guy w/ the green 65 Catalina wagon? I think he belongs to your club...

Sorry Jeff, I don't know whose car that was. I sure liked it though.
