Last year I talked to track workers.They said hard time competing with Cedar Point for workers . Bill Bader was directing traffic ,in middle of road, in rain getting cars into Linders Lot. You just pulled in and got number later. Bobbie Bader was passing out numbers in the rain.

Hope to see some of you there. I'm bringing two '65 Tri-Powers to sell. They are restored and ready to bolt on. Each one has a spec sheet showing the jet sizes, idle circuit details, etc. After all, it's the Ames Tri-Power Nationals!!
I'm looking for a positive battery cable for a '68 400 Firebird. Must be spring ring OEM style. Will be around Tim Benko's vend spot.

am surprised there are not more posts here. Norwalk went well this year. Weather very decent and lots of people to meet with , lots of cool Pontiacs to admire and all those parts. I bought a set of 1974 GTO door panels so I went home with something. I really enjoyed myself and got to meet and chat with so many, delivered plenty of parts already paid for. I actually had to turn down some orders because I was full. Pulled my load this year with my '78 Y88 5 speed TA and it is doing well.
Great memories to last a lifetime. I took many pics, will be posting them on the Pontiac Heaven facebook page.

I am surprised also, that there are not mor posts about this event. It is, by far the largest Pontiac event in the world. Whether you like the car show, swap meet, or drag racing, there is something for you. I've gone with my wife to the past three Ames Tri-Power Nationals. Surprisingly, she likes the drag racing the best. Of the hundreds of swap spaces, this event is the best, by far, for you to find Pontiac parts you're looking for. There are no vendors selling non-auto-related junk like so many swap events.
The show car field is fantastic! Every imaginable Pontiac model can be found, with many of them absolutely pristine examples. There is also a section for Pontiacs for sale. This year, there were at least 20 cars for sale on display. The drag racing is for any model Pontiac, to four-cylinder Tempests to 1000 HP+ drag cars. And, don't forget the multiple food stands, shood trucks, and the ONE POUND ICE CREAM for $1.00. W thoroughly enjoyed the event and hope to see many more.

Dates will not be set for a couple weeks when the NHRA schedule is set. During the awards they said first or second week of August, depending on NHRA.

Norwalk
After being told by every Pontic Guy I know including, Ron Johnson, Jack Gaydosh, Bill Bolin, Paul Spotts, Wayne Garrison( before he passed)......the list goes on.....that I needed to go to Norwalk if I have never been.... I was able to make it this year with the help from a couple of buddies.. I WILL NEVER MISS ANOTHER ONE! I met so many people.....folks from all-walks of life, Democrats, Republicans', white, black, Hispanic....all had the same interest...all our differences seemed not to matter. I had conversations with total strangers about Pontiacs, politics, our nation and even the weather.......I came away not just blown away about how great the event was but with a new found respect for people in general! As for the event.....there were Pontiacs as far as one could see, racing and huge swap meet.... everything a Pontiac guy could ask for.......I was truly in heaven..... I will post pics later!! I am still smiling...can not wait for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only see GMC show results for 1973 & later. Do they not have a class for earlier GMC trucks, or were there simply no entries for '72 & older?
