TTA in it's right surroundings

[Jan Larsson]

A couple of weeks back the Pontiac Owners Club here in the UK along with a couple of other American Car Clubs where invited to Rockingham Race Course here in the UK to show case our cars for the visitors during the days races as well as doing a couple of parade laps around the track.

Here's a couple of pictures from the track, some pictures I took and some that others took (so you can see my TTA ).

This was a great day out with tons of people, all day races (Porches, Stock Cars etc) and at the end a concert with Natasha Bedingfield and yes she looks great

Nice pictures. I think some of us dream of turning our TTA loose on a raceway like that....How fast did you go?

Thanks Lee, that was a great day out for sure and really cool to take the car on a curvy track .... they would not allow us to drive too fast but we managed too leave a couple of black marks after us and I think I got up to like 90 MPH or so then had to step on the brake not to hit the car in front as it was only a parade lapp

When we left the track we had to drive under the actual track through a tunnel and we all stopped before the tunnel and then just let go full throttle through the tunnel .... too bad I don't have a video clip of that one

Sweet. Must have felt great having the car in its intended environment.

Outstanding Jan!

That had to be a trip! It's really cool to see all those folks that like American hot rods.

It's always great to see the TTA being used for what it was built for . . . driving around an oval at 80 mph . . . LOL

If someone could host a large video file, I'd post up my video driving around Texas Motor Speedway.

I've posted my pictures before.

....pictures look good jan...most of us probably wish for times like that but seldom get there..

Jan.. how about you take a picture of your TTA outside Buckingham Palace... and anybody else you know with one with a foreground that is internationally know... ie Germany, Swiss locations.. etc.. NYC Skyline, LAX, Canadians...
It could make up an interesting international TTA photographic portfolio. I don't think there is any other pontiac quite worth doing it with.

Hi Dave,

How about Windsor Castle, it's just 15 or so min away from where I live ... Buckingham Palace is a pain to get too with all the congestion charges etc in London these days

I'll see what I can do ... hmmm maybe a red phone booth or red british mail box

Hope things are well down under and you are enjoying your TTA (and other cars you have )
