concerns for the pontiac brand moving forward
It has been brought to my attention by concerned individuals that on the clown board Gach has decided to try to discredit the Vhead progress among many other whims through the years that has suited his petty agendas. I do realize that stirring the pot may only help get some activity on that site, but felt that a poll is needed.
Poll: 1.Do you think Gach has helped the Pontiac community move forward by encouraging prospective Pontiac people to take the brand up and brought new enthusiasts into the fold? 2. Do you think Gach has hurt the Pontiac community, vendors should not advertise there and individuals should not frequent his site by the flood of misinformation there?

IMO best you can do is warn the newbies who dont know his reputation and when possible avoid the vendors who support him. Who hasnt he found fault with or made accusations/insinuations??? Butlers, Hands, numerous builders/porters, including many of the guys here who still waste their time there, not to mention the CV program and anyone in support of it.
He DOES have the right to say whatever he wants... However with that right comes responsibility... sooner than later he'll face charges of slander he will be forced to answer for... sadly that scenario will likely divide the Pontiac crowd much as happened back when KRE went to court... BTW screen prints are forever and even when things disappear off his site much of it will still be(IS) on his server or stored on someone elses drive to haunt him later. His problem to deal with. |

His board is a laugh. Most of the topics there are topics he imports from the PY board--and by far the most posts over there are by Gach. For someone who doesn't even run a race car (does he even own one?), he spends an inordinate amount of time trashing the efforts of others.

Kudos to everyone who is pushing the Pontiac envelope in one way or another.

I go there to update a build thread in the Forced induction section and to look at parts for sale. I do a quick look at some thread but very few. There are a couple of guys in there that I have become good friends with. But Gach is totally in his own world there and if he decides to bust may balls for this comment, I will not miss his forum for one second. If he leaves me alone (he has never negitively commented about me or my build in the past) I'll still frequent it. But I repeat, he is totally his own worst enemy, and any and all readers should take his words with a grain of salt.

And what is this poll supposed to prove, JC?
Are you going to wave the Gach poll results in his face? Use your time working to make 1300 HP NA. Tom Vaught

I once call him out about pulling a thread from PY word for word for his site and he started a pissing match with me I came back 3 times with about it and he then pulled all 3 my post.This was years ago but I still go over there.What I think is funny someone will post something and he will go and do the next 5 post then someone else will post then him for the next 4 an on an on. Also I like the rumor is/ it's coming but I can't say at this time/ ect I don't think he knows many of the big dogs in the performance world.

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.
