    not trying to step on anyone's toes anywhere I am just looking to get a Toledo meet together, this is not meant to replace or discourage any other meet or be specific to a certain forum or "click" of people

    And same here, I wasn't discouraging your meet by any means whatsoever.

    I was just stating, especially living in Missouri...I don't plan on driving to Ohio twice...in my life, LMAO...let alone in one year hah.

    Regardless, Cop and I talked about it one night (firefightergtp I think is his name on CGP) and we figured that the Nationals would be a better spot for everyone since...

    A) The platform is dying and it would be a nice way to try and kick it in the ass and give it a little spurt of life...
    B) Lots of dragstrips are closing around the US...and KC is next on the list to get ax'd...and I won't have a place to race.
    C) Only event where it's solely Pontiac...and it is a great way to get the eastern guys out to a national meet...especially since all of the previous stuff, like GPG (back in the late 90's early 00's was in KCMO/KCK) and the 4 Branson meets were...well, in southern Missouri...

    It'd be great to kinda see how all of you guys stand on it as well and if you care to read...here is the thread on our Ohio stuff...

    But in a cliffnote...

    21st Pontiac Nationals
    Norwalk, Ohio
    Aug. 3rd-5th
    Also important, lots of getting hammered.

    I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't trying to take over the world with my meet (got a allot of flak over on w-body.com for trying to make my meet happen)

    I go to Norwalk every year (2012 will be 11th or 12th time) so I will be there for sure, I realize the platform is dying as well and its sad to see it going I remember 10-12 years ago ZZP and INTENSE duking it out at the track and having the staging lanes FULL of GP's


    bluegtp91 - your right 1 time to OH would be enough...lol


    we could merge the meets possibly if I do not have enough widespread interest I may just entertain the local guys (10 or so cars) for my meet and try and make Nationals more of the "Big One"
