Default Pontiac Uprising!!! Sept 29, 30th Ark City, Kansas!!!

Ark City Kansas is again the site of the Pontiac Uprising!!!.
The last few years it's been held in Great Bend, KS. I REALLY enjoyed Grrat Bend!!!! That facility and the volunteers are awesome!!! It's a 5 hour drive for me. Ark City is much closer, thankfully.
Ark City was fairly well attended, but it's been quite a while since this event was held there.

Hope many can make it, next weekend.

I plan to be there...
Maybe. My Dad's brother passed, I may attend a memorial, IF my Dad decides to go, IF...

My brother and I hope too be down there from Nebraska. Never been to that track before, 5 hrs or so for us. Seems like there are quite a few Pontiacs down in that Wichita area, hopefully they have a nice turn out.

Leave early Jay. I’d like to have more than a couple words with you this time! 😁

If any of you all run across a 64 year old guy wearing overalls, and a white pole shirt, it'll be me!!!

I'm still waiting on a word from my Dad. His brother's memorial service is the 30th, also, in Kansas City...my Dad's 92 years old, and reasonably healthy. I do things with him, whenever he requests, he's not getting any younger.

I made it, although late, around 2:30...
Got to visit with Jay S., Rick Little (he has the greenish 65 full size wagon, he is Jim Hand's nephew).
Murf, I looked around for you, around 3:00, when they started racing, again...

I was only there for about an hour, but it was worth it!!!

Thanks to all that came!!!

The only healthy motorsports friend that was willing to come lives about an hour southeast of Oklahoma City (I obviously loved there, long ago) we took 2 lane roads until nearly the Kansas border. It took way longer than I wanted.

There were likely others I missed. I did sop and chat with Tom Wilhite a bit, that's always a pleasure. I drove my TA to this event, likely in t h e 90's, looking forward to doing that, hopefully soon.

My physical well being is still improving, every day. I have been working since February. I'm very thankful to be doing that!!!

I hope the track electronics doesn't dampen folks' spirit from coming next year!!!
