2005 Pontiac/Oakland/GMC

Regional Convention

September 30; October 1-2, 2005

The 2005 Pontiac Western Regional Convention was held at Bass Lake this year. It was a great venue, and a nice car show. Approximately 186 cars made it to this event. I took my 1979 Blue Trans Am, and my son drive his 2000 NHRA Trans Am up for the event. It took us just over five hours, and we made it with out any issues and break downs. I was lucky at this event, and took first place in the stock 1970-1981 category. Every one treated us great, and the event was done well. A great group of Pontiac people to be sure.

Winner, First Place 1970-1981 Firebird

The Ventura County GTO club had a Santa Barbara cruise day. Meeting at Malibu Bluffs to the front of Pepperdine University, we proceeded north along the ocean route called Pacific Coast Highway. We took the 101 northbound, where some of the cars appeared to have some issues with keeping at the 55 mph speed limit. I wanted to make sure they were ok, and did not have an emergency, so I had to reach speeds of 100 mph to verify they were ok. No awards, just a day of driving and eating.

As we were on the freeway, several of us, yes, me included, passed a CHP unit that had some car stopped for unknown reasons. I hope it wasn't for speeding! As several of us dropped to under 80 mph as we passed him, it was kind of funny.

We took three of our cars to a Pontiac show in Orange County CA. It was called a show and shine, and cars were not judged in classes. Just a fun event.
