I ain't as good as I once was, BUT last month I took out the points leader at Gateway just cause nobody else wanted to pull up along side him. And the crowd went wild. A 71+ year old footbraker in a PONTIAC got the win light. He was driving a short dragster with a chebby. He calls it "stubby". Put that in his ra zoo ma.

What happened???

Was gonna head down Saturday, when I got a call from a friend who was already there. Said the car show was dismal and not many racecars, don't bother to come.

Was he correct?

The turn out could of been better but we had a good time. The only was they will keep having this event is if people come out and support it.

Finally finished. I originally had more video, but some wasn't of useable quality. Here's the finished product. https://youtu.be/_xUmvCJcCaU
I got to meet a lot of people this weekend, and enjoyed every second of it. Pontiac guys are who/what make the Pontiac community great.
