The forecast looks fantastic! I'll be up there Saturday and Sunday racing my Lemans in FAST as usual.

couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for the event, and WOW! the turn out was incredible. the announcer stated that they shattered any previous record for attendance. I heard the 800+ in the show car field, but missed the drag numbers.

good turn out of Pontiacs. one of our own, gtopaul13, won best of show with his '66 tri-power GTO. a gasser style '61 tempest won best modified.

I saw that! Awesome car! Impressive sight to see parked alongside of a '62 GP and the Knafel Tin Indian '66 GTO! I took a bunch of pictures- I'll load them later.

I had a lot more time to check out the show cars this year- my Lemans had a bad head gasket and I didn't race.
There were over 800 show cars and something like 400 race cars (or was it 300?). The place was packed! Largest one ever.

I could not believe how many great Pontiacs were there. There had to be 60-70 GTOs at least!

Also the FAST shootout was won by Rick Mahoney/Scott Tieman's '68 RAII Firebird. It went a best of 10.31 for the weekend.

Depends on the weather. The Memorial Day show this year was the biggest ever.
