T/A nationals time

[Ringo]

It was worth the trip. The first comment I heard as I pulled into the hotel parking lot was "there's the greatest Trans Am ever made" and the guy gave me a thumbs up.

Its true, I just had to tell ya.

Hi TTA850,

It was nice talking with you, thanks for giving us some tips with the install of the spoiler. I'll send you a PM for that info my friend needs on his car.

Yes it was I was parked next to him in the show. He has quite a few stories and a very nice collection of Pontiacs as I'm sure you know, but it was nice to meet an original owner who has been (and still is) having fun with the car from the begining.

Cool, good to know ol' Gene is still out there. I haven't seen him in quite a few years and lost touch with him.

Great to hear you all had a great time!
Both years I went, I ran into Gene as well.
Back when I lived out in SoCal, Gene came over with his son, and they didn't want to leave my place (His kid lived out in SoCal somewhere, I can't remember).
His wife called him, asking when he was coming back.
Gene is a great guy, and loves racing as well!
Your type of guy Steve!

Congrats to all the winners!

Ouch that sucks, I remember looking that car over at Tipp City.

Well here are some of my favorite pics, hope you guys enjoy

Turbo Trans Am #124

And the best part, loaded and heading for home. As much fun as 4 days in Dayton were it's a good feeling to be heading home.

Yo 850! Great pictures ... thanks for sharing! I love the look of that Trans Am Prototype. The wheels look awesome ... I could do without the Bird however.

Great pics Steve!

I had someone e-mail the other day looking to sell some memorabilia. Turns out I met them years ago at the TA Nats and they still had my card with my e-mail on it! I directed them to the site here but it might be a while before they post. They're in the middle of moving.

There's also a link on the Dayton Daily News site with pics from the show. A couple of shots have TTAs in them and one looks like it might be Gene.

What memorabilia did he want to sell? Can you pm me with details and his email address? I would be interested in knowing what it is he's selling.

Thanks for sharing Steve!
I love that '70 RAIV blue car.
I notice alot of blue cars in your photos.
A new color you like?

Great pictures, Steve.
That white TA looks like the twin to a '71 I once owned.
