Hey everyone, Richie here.
I wanted to take a moment and apologize for my absence at our club meeting last weekend. I would like to thank our Vice President, Shannon, for filling in in my absence.
I was in Indianapolis with my fellow Holden enthusiast for an amazing event. as many of you are aware Pontiac imported some amazing Australian manufactured Holden vehicles that were re-styled and sold in the US market as Pontiac GTOβs and G8s. In addition, there was a wide variety of Chevy SS, sedan Chevy caprice and a number of authentic Holden Commodore utes and sport wagons in attendance.
We were one of the few lucky ones to get to drive on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Outback at the Track, making this the second official NASCAR track the G8 has had the pleasure of turning some laps on.
On Saturday, we attended the 10th anniversary Outback in the Midwest featuring over 611 vehicles on display and I host of celebrity guest. I am looking forward to writing up an article on the entire trip and sharing our experience with you.
I wanted to share some of our photos from the trip, including some of the amazing professional photography coverage from Fridays Outback at the Track.
I hope to see several of you next weekend for the SHOW-ME Regional hosted by GO-POCI. We will be publishing some information in the next couple of days around a group caravan so that we can arrive in Springfield together.
Again, thank you so much for your understanding for my absence. I look forward to seeing you next week.
See you soon!
Richie Lovan
President, Arkansas River Chapter.
