Went to the Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk, OH, again this year, but it was kind of a bummer. Most of the day was spent waiting for the rain to end. A lot of the cars were covered up, while others just left. So, I didn't get a lot of good pictures, but here are some of them.

Thought I spotted Randy for a second:

Yes, someone brought a completely stock 2002 SE to the judged show:

Got a kick out of this. This message was posted on the blue Bonneville from the above picture:

There's Pat's 2003 SSEi, trying to dry out from the rain:

I was surprised to see this:

It was fun to go again, but most of the activities were postponed (like the races, due to a wet track) or not as grand as last year. But, I will be going back next year, and also hope to hit up the Oldsmobile event as well.

Even though it rained, I still wish I could have made it out there. No matter what I'm going next year. And I'm actually gonna be there the Sunday after the Woodward cruise to see some of the Evo/dsm shootout.

That's a bummer it rained, but looks like there were still some nice rides that stuck around. Kind of a good thing I couldn't go, but it rained all weekend here too and my plans ended up cancelled anyway. :roll:

I bet that Solstice pisses some people off with that Cobra-esque front end! I wanna see more of it!

Yeah, the rain made it sucky, but at least we got a little bit of a dry out. That Solstice was very interesting, but unfortunately, I didn't get very many pictures of it. Hopefully it'll be back next year.

I also hope that you guys can make it next year! It would be more fun with more if us there!

Some fantastic cars there. What a great event! I particularly like the Can-Am LeMans. A '76, is it? I'm a bit hazy on these. The '62 Catalina wagon is cool too.

I do believe the Can Am was a '76, but I don't exactly remember the year that was written on the card. There were a lot more wagons this year, and I was loving each one!

Cool pics.

We used to go every year with our Firehawk and parked it in the designated Firehawk area. I'm not sure if that group still puts together the special parking area...I think it was starting to fizzle out. I spotted a Comp TA in the background in one of your pics.

Yeah, the Firehawk section is still there. Just a few cars this year, but last year I think there were a larger number of them. The rain probably kept a lot of people away.
