Default py members pic

I was picking up some parts in the swap meet area or talking to car owners. Sorry I missed the pic. Nice pic.

I can't put names, faces, cars owned and PY logins together- I'll leave that to others. But it was great finally meeting guys that I've been trading notes with here for years.

I was told in the hospitality room that 167 cars registered. And they turned away 20 more unregistered that showed up a bit late because the lots were overflowing for most classes. Beautiful day and an outstanding turnout.

"Fun facts": Doing the math active PY members represented at least 7% of the turnout. I got just under 13 MPG on the 336 mile round trip in the Lemans. And Greg should have gotten a special award for tripling the number of miles on his 68 GTO just getting it there and back.

Great photos guys. That blue '69 convert was parked next to me and it was gorgeous. Found out the guy lives just around the corner from me and he has 6 GTOs!

Greg's car shows much, much nicer in person than in the pictures that he has posted. Especially the body and paint and interior work. Congrats Greg on the great job!

Thanks Jerry!
I've noticed the same thing...In fact, I've determined to stop taking photos of it. None of them turn out looking like what I see with my eyes.

Oh, by the way, Walt's '69 LeMans deserves mention here. Beautiful car indeed and of course, Jerry's '65 needs no introduction. Every time I see that car I wish I could win the lotto and talk you out of it Jerry. I love the column shift, tri-power combo..

Greg, I think you won second place in your class. I guess your car made the trip OK or you would have said something. BY the way your GTO looked great !!!

Seriously?
By the way, did I meet you Saturday? Are you on the photo above? Hard to keep up with the user names here compared to real names.
Yes, the car ran fine. Still has some cobwebs to shake out but no problems at all getting there and back.

Oh yeah, I remember it. Very nice RA car parked right next to the Buc Red '74 SD car. I walked up there with Preston but I don't think you were nearby at the time. Man, looks like we might have had 14 or 15 PY members there.

Default Nice cars

Yes, that was a nice formula. I took a pic in the parking lot out back when I was leaving.

The 74 Red SD TA belongs to my friend Mark,from FL. A really nice car. Really like the interior of his car.

Always enjoy this show.Seeing nice cars and meeting nice people.

Great weather and had a good time talking to my fellow Pontiac enthusiasts that I hadn't seen since last year.

Couldn't believe the number of 68 GTO's. Even a chrome bumper black 68 GTO.

Default formula

Here is the formula beside my friends' 74 SD TA.

You are right, two different cars. I thought I had taken pics of it but must have started talking and didn't get a pic of it . Anybody got some nice pics of the formula?

The one with aftermarket wheels was parked out back.

It was great to see you all. It has been a long time since I've been to that event and I missed it. Now that we have the '63 Catalina I'll be around more often and hope to maybe meet up and hang out with some of you local folks.

Oh yeah, I remember that one too. Color keyed steelies and caps. Very nice car. They were all parked up there in the back corner.
Yeah Damien, we'll have to get together with the rides from time to time on a cruise night or something.

I just got confirmation from one of the host club officials that I got 3rd place 'in my class'. I wonder if there were only 3 cars in it? lol
What does 'Open' and 'Closed' class mean? I got it in " '68-'72 Performance, Closed ".
Whatever it is, I'll take it. Not bad for a first time showing I guess.
