Recently picked up a 1964 Pontiac Inspector's Guide (Printed 12-19-63). This 56 page pocket-sized Guide contains a wealth of information difficult to find elsewhere. Ever wonder about Body and Chassis Torque specifications? It has them:
Suggestion: Ever see one of these for your car at a swap meet or online, pick one up.
My love for Big Pontiacs began in the late 60's when my Dad introduced me to his 1963 Nocturne Blue Grand Prix. I loved that car and the time with my Dad. This site is dedicated not only to my efforts restoring two Big B-Body Pontiacs, but also to the friends, family, folks, and journey along the way. Like most things in life, this Blog takes some tangents into whatever stuff I think is interesting at the time--automobile related, of course.

Two Great Names and Great News Concerning Indy Racing at the Milwaukee Mile
As reported on JSOnline this evening, it sounds as if Indy Racing WILL return to the Milwaukee Mile this summer:
By Dave Kallmann of the Journal Sentinel
Andretti Sports Management announced its entree into race promotion Friday, saying the race would be held on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend, June 16.
Kevin Healy, who was senior vice president of marketing and planning for AirTran, will serve as managing director of Milwaukee IndyFest.
The Friday-Saturday weekend is to include entertainment beyond the race itself on the grounds of State Fair Park.
This is GREAT news!
UPDATE: It seems like it's a done deal, but maybe isn't: SpeedTV Can only hope.
