I am pretty jealous;
Although it seems we hit a bit of a grey area with driving over the border right now, the official shtick for the few of us north of the 49th is that we're "trapped"...

I hope many pictures are posted... so I can live vicariously through your posts

That's too bad you can't cross freely yet. I thought the northern border was open again. They play your National Anthem every day at the Norwalk event.

Bill Meyer (Gold GT37) and I (Red 95 Firebird) will be making the journey from Minnesota. Last Pontiac Nats event for us was 2003. Really excited to meet many of you. We will be bringing some Pontiac Race parts to sell. Please stop by our trailer and say hi.

The Stag Racing Team will unfortunately not be able to make it this year. Pre-registered to race a couple months ago only to have our family vacation(that's been rescheduled more than once due to Covid) rescheduled for us to leave the Sunday of Norwalk. With a 10 hour tow one way, just can't justify coming to race on Friday only. Guess I'll live vicariously through here and FB.

For $1,000 American I will get you on the Cable Trolley at Niagara Falls.
Course you have to travel at night and that Cable Car goes from the Canadian
shore to another spot on the Canadian shore, LOL.

I wish I could say its past us here. I live in Kansas City Mo. where the mask mandate has come back as of today. That is the sole reason I received the vaccine so I would not have to wear the mask! Erie times of control we are living in. We need many prayers for this nation!!
