1 Our 20thYear Volume 20 Issue 3 Spring 2013 Romping on Woodward Inside this issue: Romping on Woodward 1 Mar 2013 Gear head Destination: Gilmore Car Museum 2-3 By Eric Schiffer Meet the member 4-5 According to the ground hog spring is just around the corner. That has to be a very large corner! Look at all of the snow! It had been too many years since I took advantage of a significant snow fall. My daughter flew in from NYC on Wednesday. Thursday morning with the truck packed up and the skis secured in the ski rack my wife, daughter and I headed north to Boyne Highlands. It was a long over due ski vacation. The snow conditions on the slopes were great. You could not have asked for a more perfect time Up North. Now that I have this out of my system it is time to look ahead for this year s club events. Mike Kidd has been putting in many hours updating the clubs website. He has been testing different formats for our electronic newsletter and member only notices. He is making both the website and newsletter user friendly. Mike has added new website and newsletter sections including one for our members to let other members know something about you. Mike used himself as an example and talked about himself in the first issue along with pictures and video. This March 2013, Issue 20 Number 3, is the last paper newsletter. Future newsletters will be delivered electronically on a quarterly basis after this issue. You need to make sure Mike has your address other wise you will be left out. Don t forget to RSVP with Todd Ansbacher for our annual Date Night dinner on March 23 at the Rusty Bucket in Bloomfield Hills. It will be a casual evening of light conversation and a chance for members and their spouses to mingle. We have a private room this year which will make it easier to move around and hear one another. The restaurant is located on the east side of Woodward and just south of Square Lake Rd. This is close to I-75 and Telegraph Rd. Think Ted s drive-in. This month I received calls and letters from some Pontiac notables. First I received a nice call from Ben Harrison, retired head of Pontiac Product Planning. Ben is featured in the May 2013 issue of High Performance Pontiac magazine. Ben showed how he designed the Trans Am steering wheel for the 1969 Trans Am. Ben has been looking into the history of PMD with some surprising information about the first usage of the Pontiac name. It was not in Ben is willing to do a presentation for us anytime we want on many PMD topics. To reach a wider audience possibly Ben would be willing to contribute to our electronic newsletter a few times per year. I received a phone message from Doc Watson with information about his son Jason. Jason is now on the board of the Alfred P. Sloan Museum in Flint. Jason is putting together a display of cars with significant historic significance in three segments. I received a surprise package accompanied by a personal note from Arnie Beswick. I brought the package to our last club meeting for everyone view. The package included a laminated poster of the front page of Drag World December 27, 1968 with a headline BESWICK STUNS FIELD AT He also sent pictures and information of the reproduction Boss Bird and a fiery accident it had this last fall. Thank you, Arnie. Lastly, I received a note from Marjorie Sawruk letting us know that she and her son s will be at the 2013 POCI/GTOAA Co-vention in Daytona. They are bringing her late husband, John s, GT37 for display and many die cast and toy car models to sell. Remember that March is the last paper newsletter Well, time to burn rubber Eric Pontiac at Daytona Cider Mill Cruise Fall 2012 Gear Head Event: Track Day Gear Head Event: Feb 13 Meeting Minutes Winter Gathering: Date: March 23, 2013 Time: 7:00 PM Place: Rusty Bucket Woodward Ave East side of Woodward south of Square Lake Rd Bloomfield Hills, MI Phone: (248) Separate checks RSVP by March 16 th to Todd Ansbacher (734) Random Pontiac Pics 15 Upcoming Events 16
2 Page 2 Royal Pontiac Club of America Gear head Destination: Gilmore Car Museum Hickory Corners, MI by Mike Kidd My wife Aleta and I went to the Gilmore car museum last summer. While we had been before, the recent updates to the main building were impressive. The new main building housed their featured exhibit, as well as an impressive collection of muscle cars and some incredible classics. The cars are displayed in multiple barns around the grounds. The grounds themselves are beautiful and offer a great environment to view these classic cars in (especially in the summer). The Gilmore has rotating exhibits. Stockcars were the featured exhibit last summer. It s a great destination that is easily done in a day trip, being only about a 2 hour drive from metro Detroit. We usually make a nice Sunday trip out of it, having lunch/dinner in or near Kalamazoo (home of Bells Brewery). Set the GPS to avoid highways and have a nice country drive on the way. They also have a fantastic collection of brass era cars, and even have a separate pierce arrow barn. You can see everything from Duesenberg s and Delahaye s to muscle cars. They even have a V16 Cadillac motor on display in the Cadillac barn, what an engineering masterpiece. My favorite barn had a great collection of hood ornaments and some absolutely striking Auburn s inside. Some of the cars even have a placard with their story; a gorgeous 1932 Lincoln that was rescued from a junkyard and restored was one. During the restoration the owner found out the car actually belonged to his grandfather! There are also many early models, a Chrysler turbine car, and a vintage motorcycle barn literally too much to list. Hailed as one of the Nation's top five car museums and named Michigan's #1 Historic Auto Site by Pure Michigan. It s the best car museum I have ever been in. Check out their website for the latest exhibit. The Gilmore is definitely a must see for any gear head!

4 Page 4 Royal Pontiac Club of America Meet the Member: Mike Kidd By Mike Kidd In case we haven t met, my name is Mike Kidd. I have been a member of the Royal Pontiac club since I graduated from West Bloomfield HS, and earned my BSME from LTU. I am employed in the auto industry as an engineering manager with a supplier in Auburn Hills. My wife Aleta and I currently live in Oxford MI. I have recently taken over the webmaster duties for the club from Glenn Waineo, and will be helping with our transition to a digital newsletter. If you haven t seen the updates on the website, check it out and let me know what you think. My first car was a 1974 Catalina, on which I did the best bodywork I was capable of (at 15) and got it painted at the local Maaco. I also added a 4 bbl, valve springs, 1.65 rockers and dual exhaust to its tired old 400 motor. This motor eventually ended up in my 1970 Firebird (when I blew up the original 350). Through the years I have also owned several other Pontiac s: 1973 Grand Am (400 4sp); 1977 Firebird Formula; and 3 Grand Prix GTP s. I bought my 1970 Firebird after I graduated high school in1988. Sadly, the motor from my Catalina lost a piston (along with 1 bolt on each connecting rod may have been over revved). Club members helped me build a 455 for my bird with ported 6X heads which ran a best of 118. Sadly, this motor also expired (piston/rod/crank/ and block). So I had an MR1 short block put together with a billet crank and added ported E-heads. My best ET to date with this combo is I also installed a 200 4R trans for a nice highway ride a couple years ago. In 2009 I attended a Fantasy Trans Am event with the SAAC-MCR club, and loved it. I have been attending track days (road race course) since. The Pontiac V8 roaring down the back straight at Waterford Hills during last years vintage track day was awesome. As the one of the only vintage cars that actually participated, the 70 Bird got lots of attention in the pits. In 1997 I purchased my firebird WS6 (which I ordered, crank windows and all). I have drag raced and attended track days at Waterford hills and Gingerman with it. I have added shorty headers, valve springs, roller rockers as well as koni shocks with Strano springs/sway bars. My best ET to date 107. In 2011 we picked up a new 5.0 Mustang GT for my wife Aleta. Unfortunately for me, she is much quicker at the drag strip than my (now old) WS6. Her best ET to date is 112 (Stock). At least my WS6 is still ~ 5 sec per faster around Waterford Hills :) My current daily driver is a 2010 Charger R/T with a best ET of 103. Aleta and I attend many car events throughout the year, hope to see you out there! Please submit your own meet the member story to: kidd1014@charter.net 70 Firebird at Lapeer Video Link Below

10 Page 10 Royal Pontiac Club of America Fall Cruise: Franklin Cider Mill Text Mike Kidd Photos Eric Schiffer The club held our annual Fall cruise to the Franklin Cider mill last October. Everyone met up for parking in front of the old Franklin church. We then walked the short distance to the cider mill. It was a clear, cool fall morning, perfect for a cider mill visit. The club supplied the cider and doughnuts. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning, visiting with club members and talking cars. It was a perfect day for a ride as well.

12 Page 12 Royal Pontiac Club of America Gear Head Event: SAAC-MCR Track Day Text Mike Kidd Photos Aleta Kidd Have you ever wanted to try your hand at a track day or road race type event, but weren t sure how to get involved? Well it s easier than you might think. There are several organizations that make participating easy and safe. The best I have attended is the Shelby American Automobile Club s driver s school. They have been running track events for 30 years and have a nice casual atmosphere at their events. I got involved with their club when I unknowingly sold a part on ebay to a member, who happened to live down the road from me. When he picked up the part, he saw my 70 firebird and we started talking cars. While I had been interested in running my car on a road course for a long time, I didn t know how to get involved. Mike Nyberg convinced me to come out for their next event. I was motivated by their Fantasy Trans Am event which they were running in the fall. Club members helped me get my 70 ready to run. When I arrived at Waterford Hills (Clarkston, MI), I was glad to see there were instructors and corner workers. An instructor rode with me, teaching me the race line, and making sure I knew how to pass and be passed. Passing is controlled and safe and is only allowed on the back straight for beginners. Run groups are based on driver experience, which allows you to compete with other rookies. After my first event I was hooked, and have attended every one since. As a beginner, you don t need to have a race car, your daily driver can work pretty well. Most modern cars have no problem handling a track day. It s a great way to drive fast in a safe environment. They also allow free touring laps at lunch, which makes for a great way to get friends/family out to the track. In fact, after taking my mom for some touring laps at lunchtime a couple years ago, she enjoyed it so much she decided to enter the next event in her 93 V6 Camaro. While she wasn t the fastest car out there, she had a great time and has been to many track days since. It s a pretty laid back event, and everyone is willing to lend you hand, or offer advice. It makes hanging out at the track feel like going to a family picnic with a racetrack. If you d like some more detail of what the day is like or what to expect, click on the links below. While I m not exactly the next Mark Donohue, I have learned a lot in the last couple years and can hustle my WS6 pretty quickly around Waterford Hills. One of my favorite track days involved chasing a Nissan GTR around the track for an entire 20 min session. My British co-worker was very excited to see a GTR at the track and couldn t stop talking about how fast and awesome the GTR was (although I think it s just plain ugly). I knew that the GTR was very fast and was curious to see just how quick it could get around Waterford Hills. While I wasn t able to pass the GTR, he wasn t able to lose my lowly F-body either. He left me for dead on the straights, but I caught him in the middle of the course. Here s a short video link from another co-workers 944, which shows the GTR passing the 944, with my WS6 following a few seconds later (~ 25 sec in). Watch how quickly the GTR and my WS6 get out of the frame. SAAC s next track event is June 3rd, feel free to me with questions, or if you d like to participate. It would great to get some more Pontiac s out on the Grey Ghosts home track. Hope to see you out there!
