Pontiac Nationals August 6, 7, 8, 20...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.pontiacnationals.com/

well for most they know what this event is, it needs no introdution, but for new people here is the skinny.

This is by the far the biggest and best pontiac event in the country. It is 3 days of racing on the one of the best tracks, the biggest 2 day pontiac car show in the country, and a huge swap meet. it is one of the best events to goto. Almost all th other events for us have dried up. This one is going strong and they welcome us FWD cars. we have our own racing class thanks to Super Duty Promotions, which is the company that puts on the event. you can camp in your pits for free with your car. it is probably one of the cheaper events too.

Info on Drag Racing: $65.00 whole weekend
http://www.pontiacnationals.com/dragrace.html

Car Show info: $40.00 whole weekend - if just coming for the weekend this is the best bang for the buck. you get free meals and only pay 5 bucks more, but you cant park your car in the pits.(very stupid i know)
http://www.pontiacnationals.com/carshow.html

This will be my 4th year in a row starting this thread. i hope its early enough for people to start planning ahead. it is a great time.

Some helpful tips:
*If your tent camping in the pits, it is asphalt. So no stakes, you will need to bring stuff to keep the tent from blowing away. Also if it rains you will want something underneath and/or on top to keep ya dry. Carpet padding works good to add a lil extra padding.
*some sort of ezup or shelter, there is hardly any shade in the pits
*chairs are a good idea
*There are picnic tables but some pits might not get one.
*they do have showers and they are around 4bucks or so. early morning or late night is best time as not as many people.

hope to see ya there.

Nationals is where it's at. If there's any event worth going to, this one is it.

From the pictures it looks like a good time, I'm confident I don't start work again until the 20th or something in August, or I sure hope that's the case.

If you seriously wanna bust out a top swap by August I'll definitely lend a hand. I'm gonna be working on my car for about a month anyhow, so my garage may as well become a grand prix party. Maybe we can put my rockers into the GT as well, since the GTP is getting a cam :twisted:

If you want to get good track times out of your car Norwalk is the place to do it. It's the best track on this side of the Mississippi River.

There was about 20+ GP's last time I went, and a sunfire, lol.

-- Thu Mar 04, 2010 2:22 pm --

the sunfire got 2nd place in the drag racing too because the driver ran so consistently.
