So what do you guys think about a TTA reunion at the BPG Nationals in 2010 ??

I was talking to Sean the guy who puts the event on a BPG every year about doing a TTA reunion next year. Who would bring their cars out? It's a great event. Great area. Awesome track. Out of all the events I go to I think I like this one best. I would trailer my car out for sure. They had 92 GSX's show up this year. I'd love to see a few dozen TTA's together. We can have our own classes. Stock, Modified, and race cars. So we can have some fun with it. Who would be in??? If we do make this a go we have to start soon on the planning and putting it together. So vote and let's get something together! :thumbup:
 
Depending on dates I would try to possibly combine it with vacation and a roadtrip in the US .... would not bring by TTA across though :-)
 
A shame nobody wants to do it at an actual Pontiac or Trans Am event, like the T/A Nats the 28-30th of this month. In fact they are going to have anniversary classes, X-1 for second gens, X-2 for third gens, and X-3 for fourth gens. http://www.78ta.com/nats/index.htm

Guess I'm the only Pontiac guy on this board :shrug:

I was thinking the same thing. But the good news is it is time to start going to both Buick & Pontiac shows. I wish I was closer to some of these great events.
 
Steve,
I would love to go to an event with other Trans Ams or Pontiacs.
However, it is way to far for me to take my car.

I hear ya George, I know your a true blue Trans Am guy. I only wish I lived closer :) Seems like better people and better weather over there (as rain pounds on my windows) :D
 
I'm heading to National Trail this weekend for the Mopar Nats! I would bring My TTA if there were a reunion! What is this show exacly? I'm not familiar with all of the abbreviations that you guys are using.
Big show? Pontiac only? TA only? Whats the scoop?

I did a search for the TA Nats last week and it didn't seem to be a very big show. Am I wrong? Did I find the wrong event. The past event pics. that I found had no TTA's in them.DontKnow:

Wasn't a TA nats last week. It was the BPG nationals there in Hebron.

There were 4 ta's there.
 
The TA Nats are at the end of August.
Probably the biggest Trans Am event in the USA.
As for TTAs, there are always between 2-4 every year.
Remember now, these cars are kinda rare, and not every state has a bunch of them.
Most Trans Am Car Clubs only have 1, unless the owner owns more than one. ;)
Plus, I would say half the owners are Buick guys, and don't go to Pontiac/Trans Am events.
Remember, the car is a Pontiac, the engine a Buick.
A corporate GM Buick engine. ;)

I was told the BPG event was moving to Salem,OH in 2010 or 2011. Is that true? Quaker City to be specific about the track.
 
I'm with Steve, I'd rather have it at a Pontiac Show. I tried organizing something for the Trans Am Nationals last year but whenever I emailed Sue, the organizer, about having our own class she told me she wouldn't be able to help me for another couple of months. I'm the type of guy who would want to plan something like this about a year ahead of time so I just ended it there.

Personally, I'd rather do it at the Pontiac Nationals. There's car show and drag racing like the Buick show, but WAY more cars, better hospitality, better track, and more. They're very flexible with allowing clubs have their own classes, they've been having a Firehawk class for years and they had a Can-Am reunion with like 20 Can-Ams recently.

That's just my suggestion and I'm more than willing to help organize it. Either way I'll try my best to make it where ever it's held at.
 
Sue from thew TA Nats doesn't like doing things for others, it may take the limelight away from her.
The Bandit Club has had trouble in the past, she pissed off the Knight Rider Club, and getting all the Anniversary Cars together in classes has always been fought by her.
She is set in her ways, which is kinda bad, and whether it is good or bad, we can never tell.
I don't like how she runs things, I don't like how cars are teched or judged, and I don't like cars all over the place.
You would think with this major event going on for years, there would be more classes, more sponcers, and better shows.
But I do like the cars, and the owners, and for that reason, I would go again to view, not take any of my cars.
This is just my opinion, and no ones has to agree with me.
The Pontiac Nats sounds nice to me as well.

Thhis is very interesting! We have had two reunions for the Lift Off Hood cars that I am also into. We had them both in 05 and 09 in Carlisle PA. The people at carlisle were so good I can't tell you! They even gave us special reunion plaques each time. I think that it is very imprtant to have the reunion at a place that will not make things difficult. The venue should want us to be a part of the show. If they don't have this train of thought than we need another venue. All of the pics are not up from the 09 reunion, but it was a great showing. Here are a couple of links to the 05 reunion.

I don't know if Carlisle has a Pontiac show, but what a great place to have the TTA reunion!

Well another thing to keep in mind is Sean who runs the entire BPG event in Ohio has already told me he will do whatever we want. He's a good friend of mine and we could set the show up anyway we like. The track is huge and there is plenty of room for display of cars. Let's keep hashing it out and I'm sure something will work!
 
I'm new here so could you please tell me what BPG stands for? I'm sure I could find out with a bit of effort, but I shall put forth no effort.
