Welcome to the home of Arkansas's premier Pontiac car club. Our objective is simple. We offer Pontiac car enthusiasts a family environment in which they can enjoy their automobiles and each other. We welcome any past, current or future owner of Pontiac automobiles to join us.

The annual Dad's Old Car gathering sponsored by CAMS car club at Ft. Roots veteran's hospital was another success. Roughly 100 cars turned out to display for the vets who were able to leave their rooms and come outside for a look. We took some photos (don't we always?) so enjoy!

Can you say NEW RECORD!!! Yes sir, we registered 171 cars and that is a new all time record for cars at the Cruisin' In The Rock. Special thanks to Carol Dolan and the Little Rock Convention and Visitor's Bureau for doing all they do. Another thank you to all the participants because without you there would not be a Cruisin' In The Rock. And last, but certainly not least, thank you to all the APA members who once again worked their tails off to make it happen. We'll see y'all soon since our next CITR is on Friday, June 12.

We said we were going to do it and darned if we didn't. We finally went to someone else's car show as a club. On Saturday the APA arrived with 11 club member cars to participate in the first ever Arkansas Street Machine club car show in Cabot. They put on a nice show with roughly 75 cars attending. The popular vote show treated the APA quite well with a total of 7 awards coming home with the group. After the show Brian and Mary Ann Ray hosted the crew for a hamburger cookout at their house. We'd like to say a big thank you to them for allowing us to invade their home. Click on the photo above for the gallery of photos.

We are humbled and appreciative of all the support for our eighth annual Wheelin' & Healin' car show. We don't know how we can say thank you enough to all the wonderful people who came out and registered their cars in the rain to be part of this. We had the worst conditions you could possibly have for a car show and still registered 124 cars. There were many more than that on the show field and we hope they'll join in next year. We understand the reluctance to register in a rain storm, but remember, it's for the kids! Estimates put the car count at around 200 cars in the park, including a strong showing of our own club cars that were there for display only. Not bad for a home town show, don't you think?

How do we thank all our wonderful sponsors who donated time, money and their hearts to our cause. We couldn't do it without the help of all those people so support those who support our car hobby. People like:

The 2009 Rock's Auto Extravaganza was a workout for the APA members that showed up to help. We need more folks to help with this event next year. The show was outstanding. There were 112 of some of the finest cars, trucks and motorcycles around on the floor. The 17 marquee cars were closely rivaled in quality by some of the local folks. Everyone agreed that the quality of the cars was far above last year's show. A special thank you to the 'Stang Gang club for volunteering to help with presenting the show.

You folks are too much fun! We laughed until we cried on Saturday night during the annual APA Christmas party. A special thank you to club prez Brian Ray and the real boss, his wife, Mary Ann, for hosting our party. Another thank you to all who brought the excellent food and desserts we ate. Whew! I'm still full. The "dirty Santa" gift exchange was the hit of the evening. You never know what might turn up under the tree at this party. We think the traveling tiger hat may have found a permanent home now. Jack Daniels stock went up a a few points this morning and rumor has it that Betty is shopping for a real dually! Pictures won't do this justice but I took a few so click on the one above to see them all. We'll see all of you at Autormama in January. Until then, have a great holiday!

Some of the APA members found out that these old Pontiacs can turn left and right over the weekend. We joined the local SCCA club at War Memorial Stadium to learn how to autocross. We would like to thank the Little Rock chapter of the SCCA club for allowing us to come play with them on the course. The wet weather and the cold made it a little miserable but we all managed to have a great time. Betty Mitchell took a LOT of pictures for you guys to see. Click on the one above for more!

There are simply not enough superlatives in the english language to describe what a wonderful weekend we had as the annual Poncho Power Tour cruised to Eureka Springs and back. The weather was outstanding and the fall colors were at their peak. It was great cruising, great friends and great food as we wandered through the Ozarks. From the first impromptu stop at Thad Harvey's house to view his collection of old service station memoribilia to the cruise through Lost Valley where we saw the elk herd to our final stop for the traditional "Chris and Emily ice cream" it was a great, great time. Make plans to join us next year. Who knows where we'll end up? As always, click above for more pictures.

A few of the APA members got together and made a run to Cabotfest for the Christian Car Club's car show. It was a crowd with over 120 cars but the CCC made it work and we all had a great time. Congratulations go out to Geoffery Schwark, Brian Ray and Marshall Johnson for winning top 20 trophies. That was quite an achievemnt in a field that large using a popular vote to select the winners.

The big daddy of all driving events kicked off in Little Rock this year. The 2008 edition of the Hot Rod Power Tour started at the fairgrounds in Little Rock and worked it's way through the midwest before ending in Madison, Wisconson. Little Rock was hot, steamy and a car person's heaven! There was everything from exotic sports cars to the Family Truckster from the National Lampoon "Vacation" movie. Several club members made at least a portion of the trip and one, Cara Haynie, made the long haul. Brian Ray took all of the pictures we have here and they include the Little Rock and Springfield, Missouri stops. There are also some shots of many of the club members on the road between stops.

The Cruisapalooza parade and cruise in at the Little Rock River Market kicked off the 2008 Hot Rod Power Tour. The Arkansas Pontiac Association and the City of Little Rock played host to over 400 cars that came down to join in the fun. Thank you to all the members who helped us get those cars in and parked. According to Carol Dolan, from the Little Rock Convention and Visitor's Bureau, we had all the parade participants off Clinton Avenue and on the way to parking spaces in 22 minutes. Folks, that's parking some cars! Carol also arranged for fun stuff, like the tricycle race, live music and door prizes. As usual, we took a bunch of photos for those of you who couldn't join us.
