2018 GTOAA NATIONALS @ VALLEY FORGE:
Ted Knapp gave a recap of his observations after attending the conference. Ted presented a PowerPoint with photos of the Convention. Ted reported that the Convention was well run with a large facility for parking concourse cars (they have 100+ concourse cars), and for parking the Popular Vote Show. They paid $22,00 for the facility and raised $20,00 in sponsor money to basically cover the facility cost. Ted did not think they had much in the way of activities, with just one short Valley Forge trip and their signage was not very good. Ted reported that they had a fair amount of GTO’s and some “other Pontiacs”, featuring a motor cycle with a 65 GTO rear end. Ted says they had a lot more swap meet vendors then we had, but cut corners on a lot of things such as plastic plates and bad food. Tom Oxler retired as President of the GTOAA and Vic Schreck replaced him as the new President.
CORRESPONDENCE:
There was no Club correspondence for the month of July.

Gary Tischer will pursue conversations with the two drag strips this summer in hopes of getting something in place for 2019.
