Default So, who, here is going to POCI in a couple of weeks?

I plan to be there with a fellow Pontiac enthusiast!!!

Driving that direction from Oklahoma weekend of 23-24. Hope to be there maybe Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday will have most cars on display. I'm not driving my Pontiac, so I won't be cruising Monday or Tuesday...

Just got back from a few days' camping trip to the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Re-prepping the travel trailer for a full weeks stay at Wisconsin Dells. Staying at a campground about a mile or so from the event. A few more Pontiac faithful coming from my neck of the woods also.

I am driving out on Sunday. Google maps says 622 miles and 10 hours 12 minutes. I will do the extra miles around Chicago. I am not driving my car through downtown Chicago.

If you mean I294, sometimes that's worse than going 94/90 downtown.

We're going Sunday and staying through Thursday. We're taking my wife's '64 GTO for points judging--no trailer, we're driving it.

Convention is going to be one of the largest POCI Nationals ever. Lots to see & do in Wisconsin Dells!!

I hope not. However I have talked to a few folks in the part that know about PY and read a lot here, but have no interest in being a member or posting...

It seemed like all the Pontiac events that I attended before 9/11 were growing in attendence, after that day, priorities changed, for whatever reasons...

Would have loved to have managed to fit this years WI POCI show in with my schedule. Spend some time wth many have not seen in years, & with several on this Site who have always wanted to meet.

Life just gets in the way, am just way too backed up with ongoing projects. Have a trailer load of sheetmetal to haul north and equip to haul home, but due to work load not going to be able to make that long trip for another month. Finishing out the inside of the building has been #1 priority, working on it nearly every day. #2 has been getting all parts up in the racks that have been moved. Some racks are up, but not all. #3 is getting remaining Pontiacs and parts over here. A little time left for family and friends, that's been it.

BTW, where is POCI Nats next year?

About Us

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.
