September 2009 Email 2Nd.P65 The Official Publication of the Georgia Triumph Association The Georgia September, 2009 TRUMPET Volume XXIV, Number 9 Drive to Blue Ridge for Drive-In Movie Night Eight cars from the GTA met on the morning of Saturday, Michael Campsmith August 15 for the ride up to the Swan Drive-In in Blue GTA Activities Director Ridge. Mike and Sue Hurst mapped out the route and led the caravan in their TR6, followed by Jim and Cheryl Bennett (Spitfire), Art and Faye Hays (Spitfire), Ashford Little (TR6), Shawn and Astrid Tarleton (TR6), Steve and Melissa Kohlhagen (Spitfire), Mark and Laura Pruitt (TR4), and Michael Campsmith (TR6). The group had a pleasant drive through the countryside up to north Georgia. The weather even cooper- ated as there was enough cloud cover to keep people from baking in their open cars. Not far from Blue Ridge we stopped for lunch at Vanzandt’s General Store in beautiful downtown(?) Dial, Georgia. After getting a lunch choice—BBQ and chicken salad sandwiches were the big hits—folks sat out on the rocking porch and relaxed. Unfortunately pulling into the lunch stop Steve Kohlagen had developed a mechanical issue with his transmission staying stuck in second gear. The night before Steve had spent hours making his transmis- sion tunnel tight and fume-free; of course that had to come out in order to get at the transmission. The goal was to remove the top of the transmission to check alignment of the forks and shafts, but something internal was hanging up the cover. Rather than risk breaking anything he decided to get a trailer to haul the car back home for repairs. Steve and Melissa rode with the solo drivers (Ashford and Michael) to the hotel in Blue Ridge, where Steve made some phone calls to confirm trailer access. Now the problem was how to get Steve and Melissa back to Atlanta. Michael wasn’t staying for the movie, but only had a single seat available. So for 60+ miles Steve and Melissa sat side-by-side for the trip home (luckily Melissa is young and flexible!!). We arrived at the Kohlhagen’s about 4:30 PM and after a quick look at the XKE project in Steve’s garage.

The Trumpet A publication of the Georgia Triumph Association September, 2009 Page 3 Hybrid Power?Last month’s Director’s Chair was presented to you from the Great Director’s Chair White North aka Canada. Not this month, but just barely. When last we got together I was hoping to return from Canada and then hop in my car and head to The Roadster Factory for their annual Summer Party. I knew I had an issue, but mistakenly thought it had been cured during my time away. I was wrong, but I didn’t know this. After flying back from Toronto, and after spending a wonderful ten September, 2009 hours at Toronto “International” Airport I arrived at my house late Tuesday, August Ashford Little 4th. The next morning I threw my stuff together and went to my “other” house, cranked up the car and I was off. So far so good, right? A little north of 285 I turned on my headlights to check the amp gauge. Uh-oh! The gauge predictably went down into the evil “D” zone indicating that I was operating under hybrid battery power. Someone operating on more sleep or a few more brain cells would have turned around and at least attempted to figure out how to correct this obvious issue, but not yours truly. I got on the phone and started locating part numbers for a brush pack or an entire Bosch alternator. 257 miles later I pulled into Salisbury, NC to get some gas. Not wishing to turn the car off I was filling up with the engine running. I noticed the guy next to me had a certain “might work on cars look” about him so I asked if he had a multi-meter on him. His response was classic and with a smile on his face he responded “alternator not charging, huh?” I love it. He and I ascertained that the alternator was indeed not charging, but then the electric fan came on which prompted me to rev up the motor. “Huh, I think it might be charging,” he said. Bottom line: I had a poor connection at the plug on the back of the alternator. The amp gauge swung way up in the “C” zone and I was off after a hearty thanks to my electrical savior. So, if anyone asks you how far you can drive on a charged battery during daylight hours the answer might be “at least 257 miles.” I’ll give a more detailed report on The Roadster Factory’s Summer Party later, but I’ll just say that it was a nice event. There were about two hundred Triumphs in attendance and the weather was very nice. My old North Face sleeping bag came in handy the first night when the temperature dipped into the fifties. My TR ran flawlessly after my initial issue and never looked back even after several drag strip runs and some less than stellar autocross laps. Shawn Tarleton and I drove back 725 miles or so on Sunday, August 9th with the only issue being the ever increasing outside temps the closer we got to Hotlanta. Haven’t driven your car lately? Well, lucky for you there are plenty of opportunities in the coming weeks. Thursday, September 10th is a GTA pub night in College Park at The Manchester Arms Pub. Saturday, September 12th is the annual Norcross British Car Fayre. The weekend of September 25th is “Autumn in the Mountains” in Hendersonville, NC. The GTA is planning to attend and we have contacted The Cedarwood Inn. Please call 828-692-8284 for reserva- tions. Please book now so you can stay with the group. We always have a nice time at the show and generally cook out that evening at the motel. Unfortunately I won’t be at the show as that same weekend is the annual 6-Pack TRials in Long Beach, NJ. No, I won’t be driving up for this one. It’s a bit too far given the quick turnaround, but I’ll give a full report on the event and where the event will be held next year. If you’ve got a TR250 or TR6 and aren’t members of the 6-Pack then you are missing out on a great group of Triumph enthusiasts. Go to www.6-pack.org for more information. Hermann Schaller has suggested that a GTA calendar might be something nice for members to put on their wall. I totally agree. So if you’ve got a great shot of your car then contact me or Hermann and get us a shot.

    COB VETTE NEWS ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Volume, 35 Issue 1 January 2016 Notes from the President What’s Happening This Month Thank you to Karen and Lowell Rothenberger for chairing our annual Christmas January 9th Meeting 7:00 pm Brunch. The Columns Banquet Facility was a great venue, the food was awesome, and we had record attendance of 100 members and guests. I would also like to thank the membership for their generosity in donating Toys for Tots. It was also nice to see a few Corvettes in the parking lot. Maybe next year I won't be so anxious to put my car in storage. Looking ahead to 2016 several members have expressed a desire to participate in a few out of town trips. For instance: Bloomington Gold, June 23-25, Indianapolis, IN; NCCC Convention, July 17-22, Omaha, NE; Mecum Auction, July 21-23, Harrisburg, PA; Vettes at the Beach, July 30-31, Syracuse, NY and of course Corvettes of Carlisle, August 25-28, Carlisle, PA. So mark your new calendars for some of these events. Of course planning is in the early stages for our annual car show at Salvatore's chaired by John Biggie. The 12th Annual Corvette Caravan is looking for new chairpersons but Skip and Pete have volunteered to help out a new team. Of course we all look forward to our late winter Club Anniversary Dinner ( aka Installation Dinner), chaired by Bob Kaczmarek, our winter pizza and wings party, ice cream socials, big summer picnic, along with local cruises and car shows around OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF Western NY.

  • Introduction to the 1960S Pontiac Firebird
    Introduction to the 1960s Pontiac Firebird by the Editors of Publications International, Ltd. The full 1967 Pontiac Firebird line, with a Sprint convertible as the star of the show. ©2007 Publications International, Ltd. Although Pontiac was known as a performance leader in the 1950s, it was the Pontiac Firebird that helped solidify that reputation. Conversion from stodgy sedans to goin' machines began in autumn 1954, when a brand-new high-compression V-8 elbowed aside the old-fashioned straight-eight engines. Among other features, the new powerplant had stud-mounted rocker arms, smaller combustion chambers, and -- foretelling the near future -- ample room for growth. After Semon "Bunkie" Knudsen became Pontiac's general manager in 1956, he borrowed a team from Oldsmobile to shape the V-8 for performance. For 1957, the engine was stroked to 347-cid. That evolved into 370-cid, breathing through optional fuel injection or a Tri-Power (triple carburetion) setup. Pontiac went "Wide-Track" for 1959, as its 389-cid Tri-Power V-8 reached the 345 horsepower mark; then, 421-cid and 405 horsepower for 1961. Resistance to top-management pleas for restraint led to Pontiac's reputation as GM's "outlaw division." That performance "rep" was etched permanently by 1964 with the debut of the GTO -- the vehicle that helped to usher in the muscle car era. With its 389-cid V-8 and optional Tri-Power carburetion, the "Goat" lured thousands of youthful drivers into Pontiac showrooms. Even those corporate folks who weren't enamored of automotive muscle couldn't argue against sales that neared 100,000 in 1966 alone.

  • 1965 Pontiac Banshee: the Story of XP-833
    Pontiacs of CENTRAL CALIFORNIA February 2013 NEWSLETTER President’s message POCC enjoys tremendous respect throughout the car club culture in the Fresno/Clovis area. This is at least in part due to the people in the club that readily except leadership roles. These roles range from the club officers to those members who volunteer to do the other jobs. These jobs include some simple things like volunteering to write an article for the club newsletter and those requiring more commitment, such as volunteering to manage a club event like the Valentines cruise or the Toys for Tots Car Show. Unfortunately, in the case of the later, it seems that you might not want to volunteer for one of these roles in fear you will get type cast into the job. In other words, once you do it—you’re IT. Club member Jack Fusari has experienced the “you’re it” syndrome in regards to his on-going role in organizing and providing leadership for the Toys for Tots Car Show. He has done a great job in this function as well as his service as club president in 2011 and his initiative in organizing our participation in last years Veterans Day Parade. His leadership in all of these activities has assisted the club in maintaining the reputation as being one of the best around. However, after many years of managing the Toys for Tots Car Show, Jack has elected to retire from that function. Last year Jack requested that somebody volunteer to help with the show preparation so they might assume the leadership role this next year but there wasn’t much interest.
