lol!! NO it will be in a trailer. I am going to leave Thursday what day are you heading down?
 
My plan is to drive both cars down to the show. I have the hotel room already, just slow on registering both cars.:wheelchair:
 
Making some progress - I entered the order for my new trailer (large enough to carry a TTA) this morning... now need to get the T/A Nats form filled out and sent in.
 
Mailing the T/A Nats registration today :)
Planning to make the drive on Thursday, probably pretty much a full day for us.
 
I just got a call from Jim Lyons confirming that he will attend the Trans Am Nationals and speak of his experience with both the Pontiac 301 Turbo and the '89 TTA. Some of the information he shared with me about the durability validation testing on the '89 was mind-blowing. If you haven't yet registered or made plans to attend this years Trans Am Nationals, you're missing out!

That is really interesting, any chance you can try to see if you can record Jim's session about the 89 project? Camcorder or even just record the voice would be great.

And if Jim have any notes, documentation, pictures to share if you don't mind asking if there's a way to get it scanned and shared with us all one way or another?

If I were a bit closer (I'm in the United Kingdom) I would bring my video camera and be there in person to capture this but unfortunately I can't so any help you can provide to share the history around our cars would be much appreciated and a really good addition to what we have from the re-union with the recordings of Bill Owen and Scott Kelly.

Again appreciate any help sharing this with us all one way or another.
 
O.K. stupid question time...have not been keeping up here about the reunion, is the TTA reunion being held in Dayton in conjunction with the T/A nats???
 
I'm really looking forward to this Trans Am Nationals. It should be a good time.

^^^ Sounds very interesting :thumbup:

We have rec'd our confirmation card, so should be all "good-to-go".
 
2 days of driving is a lot, but it is one of those events you should attend at least once if you love Firebirds and Trans Am's! It's pretty impressive to see 300-400 all in one place.

I am looking forward to seeing all the nice cars and meeting some of the forum members.

So any of you guys going there able to bring a camcorder (or similar) and record Jim's session please :yes:

And if anyone get the chance to speak to Jim before or after see if he's happy to share some deeper insight with us all (maybe here on the forum directly) and or if he happens to have photos/documents or similar he can share with us all.

Would love to be there in person but unfortunately I can't :bye2:

Now... if you just had the right "rig" and could bring all of yours...there would be even more :cool:

I am not going to make any promises regarding this, but I will try to bring one and videotape the session. And hopefully the audio will be of decent quality. We'll see...

Would really appreciate if you do get to record it and can share afterwards. Maybe a couple of you can do the same that way we are covered and can make sure a piece of history is captured for future reference.

Again thanks for anything you can do here :thumbup:
 
Yes! I'm ready. Going to be a lot of fun.

Just got back last night from the Pontiac Nationals. Other than the rain on Saturday, the Ames Performance family put on another great event!

Not one TTA was seen there the whole weekend. I took my Formula.
 
#545 is at the Jim Dunn "Spa" now - getting an evaluation, major tune-up, and underhood clean-up... should be ready and looking [as] good [as it can].
 
I'm not ready, physically or my car, but I sure plan on trying to make it. I've sent in my money already. It's a 2 day haul for us, but we're darn sure going to try and have #1460 there.
