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.

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m. We will meet at the home of Brian and Mary Ann Ray where we will make preparations for the annual Wheelin' and Healin' car show. The address is 275 Elk Ridge Cove in Cabot. Please join us!

Back by popular demand, the ninth annual Arkansas Pontiac Association's Wheelin' and Healin' Car show to benefit Arkansas Children's Hospital. You wonderful people have supported us so well in the past and we want to invite you back again this year. Click on the image above to download the .pdf file with our show flier.

The Rock's Auto Extravaganza continues to gain momentum and the APA is proud to be part of this national caliber show. The Statehouse Convention Center was packed with cars that could easily grace any of the major car shows. We put in our time helping out with the chores but still had time to mess around with our club display. Betty Mitchell set our theme of "Always In Style" and a few of us took the cue to dress up in our Sunday best! OK, not our Sunday best but for some of us it was as easy as reaching to the back of the closet to find period correct clothing. We hope all our friends and fellow car ethusiasts had as much fun as we did. If you didn't attend, make a note to be ready for next January when we'll do it again. As always, click on the picture of the old hippies to see the the gallery of shots from the show.

It was too cold to race but we did it anyway. A handful of APA members braved the cold to join the Arkansas Sports Car Club of America for their annual "Hangover Race" at War Memorial Stadium parking lot. Some of us punked out after the first session due to the blustery weather but Daniel Sullivan and Dewayne Ford toughed it out for the duration. Betty Mitchell took a bunch of photos. Click on the one above for all the pictures.

It was an honor to host the APA Christmas party this year. Around 30 members attended the annual gala and we had a blast. We always eat well and then laugh until we hurt at these celebrations. This year was no exception. The Dirty Santa leads to some devious tactics by our members but it's all in fun. Here's a few photos to give you an idea of what it was like. happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you!

Want to feel warm and fuzzy all winter? It's easy. All you have to do is work your tail off the rest of the year and then write a check to Arkansas Children's Hospital for $8,000.00 when your done. A special thank you to all our sponsors and members who made it possible for us to present that check during the November Cruisin' In The Rock. We also snuck up on Hot Rod Momma (Carol Dolon of the Little Rock Convention and Visitor's Bureau) with a little token of our appreciation for all she and the LRCVB does through the year for the car community. We took pictures so take a look!

Two days of driving the wheels off your car is enough to make any car guy or gal smile. The annual Poncho Power Tour had the crew driving everything. By everything I include a Buick, and Oldsmobile, a motorcycle and a whole mix of vintage and modern Pontiacs! Yep, we don't care what you choice of motovation is, just come on and try to keep up. This year's route had the crew running from Searcy to Hardy, over to Mountain View and back down through Heber Springs. It was great fun and some super driving roads. Plan on joining us next year. You don't have to be an APA member to come along. Ask about it next fall and we will be happy to share the details of the next drive. Brian and Mary Ann Ray provided all the pictures.

We can't catch a break on the weather this year. It rained on Thursday and was so dog gone windy and cold on Friday that we thought we were in Alaska! At least Saturday was a great day for the annual Big Cruisefest and we had the cars to prove it. Thanks as always to all the APA folks who worked their butts off to make it a great show. To all the vendors and LRCVB, along with all you wonderful car folks who braved the weather, another heart felt thank you. Even with the bad weather, it was a party. It's always good to rub elbows with the likes of Norm Grabowski and George Barris. How often do you get to talk to living legends? Here's praying for better weather next year. We'll see you then!

Mother nature got the best of us for this one. We had decent weather Friday night to begin Cruisapaloosa but the showers cleared the park as the evening wore on. Saturday at the State Fairgournds was great but the threat of rain kept the numbers down. There was still a healthy turnout with an estimated 600-800 cars attending. Saturday night's cruising was short lived due to the rain again. But who cares! We had a great time! Thank yous go out to LRCVB and Hot Rod Momma (Carol Dolan) for once again bringing a premier event to Little Rock. I will also offer a special thank you to all the APA members who worked to make Friday night's Cruisapalooza a smooth event. We can't wait for better weather and next year. The first round of photos is available by clicking on the photo above.

It was one for the record books. With 1090 Pontiacs (and a couple of GMCs) and over 3000 registrants & spectators, the combined GTOAA/POCI “Co-Vention” was the largest Pontiac show in the world. APA's Brian, Mary Ann and Eric Ray attended. There was a lot to see so be prepared when you click on the picture above. They came back with over 300 images. Prepare for sensory overload!

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!

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:
