It looks like the 2nd Stampede will be a Southern Stampede ending at the 2012 Jefferson 500 @ Summit Point West Virginia. This Stampede will be shorter than the previous one and will run from Southern Virginia to Northern Virginia ending at the races at Summit Point. I have been in contact with Brian Walsh (Racer walsh) and they will be doing a benefit to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and will let our Pinto's on the track to run around. Plus we get to see Pinto's race, you may not get that oportunity again.
One other stop I have planned is the National Firearms Museum, they have pretty much every gun ever made on display amongst other items and information.
I have been working over the past months to get us a NASCAR track to visit, but with the end of the season and now the holidays, they have been slow at getting back to us. I wil continue to push for one of the big ones (Bristol, Martinsville or Richmond) all of them if they let us, hopefuly one of the contacts will come through.
Shoot me an email if you want to come, or if you have some ideas or stops along the way. We are looking at driving on Thursday-Friday May 17th & 18th and staying for the races on Saturday the 19th, heading out home on Sunday the 20th.

ARGH!!!!

Just to get to Summit Point is a 7 hour southern ride for me. Then I would have to add the trip onto that to just get to the start point.

When can we do a New England Run? I would be in on that so quick.

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #4 on:** December 31, 2011, 06:39:04 AM »

So, who wants to go?
ESS, you can drive down with us, we have the Pinto's in North East Pa.
We may add the Wood Brothers museum to the trip.

So I am still working on some race tracks, but here are some other things I plan on working into the Stampede.
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/14179 The National Firearms Museum, should have some realy cool firepower.

http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/12738 A TANK museum which has one of the biggest privately owned collections in the world.

http://woodbrothersracing.com/?page_id=103 Wood Borthers Racing, what more can you say, "FORD!" And the winner of last years Daytona 500, Wood Brothers has a storied history in NASCAR, this could be a fun visit.

I still only have a few people who emailed that they want to go, please let me know if you want to attend. I recieved a ton of emails from those who missed that last one asking me to do more so they could go. For those who have not traveled in a Pinto Caravan, it is pretty cool. An American adventure and roadtrip.
Thanks,

Would the starting point be in Stuart Va or near there? Thats about 15 hours away from me . Ill talk to others here in the midwest to see if any one here wants to make the trip together.

DreamBean · « **Reply #7 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:35:57 PM »

I'd love to go. But I have to see what I can work out on this end. Things are kinda tight after the wife has been out of work for two weeks from having two tumors removed from her left arm. A lap around a road course. I always wanted to do that.

For whatever it's worth, I've been to that tank museum in Danville and it is well worth the time. Good choice for a stop!

Where is the starting point or is that yet to be determined? Charlotte Motor Speedway? Myrtle Beach? Gatlinburg Tenn.? Just throwing out Ideas.

72pair · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2012, 10:01:45 AM »

I'd be interested in knowing the start point. Summit Point is only about a 7 hour haul from me in SC according to mapquest. JT

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2012, 08:37:42 PM »

Tommy, First Louise and I wish Sherry all the best. I hope she has a speedy recovery, we had so much fun last time and meeting you two was great.

Second, The starting point is still up for grabs. I was hoping for Bristol or Martinsville, but they are less than quick on the response so I have to plan around this. Right now I would say the start is the Wood Brothers in Stuart Virginia just west of Martinsville.

I will add updates on the trip and locations of interest, once again we will drive for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Hey Norm,Put me on the list.Sounds like a lot of fun.

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #13 on:** January 09, 2012, 09:26:11 PM »

Harley, You are on the list. See you in May.

Folks, this is a great opportunity. I'm counting at least 6 Pinto race cars right now that will be on track. Not only is Peter Brock the Grand Marshall, but we'll have a special IMSA RS / 2.5 Challenge reunion race with Pintos, Datsun 510s, 2002s, etc. There is a Datsun 510 club that shows up every year for this. It would be great to have the Pintos show up in full force!

Hope to see many of you there.

BRISTOL BABY!!!!!! A Roundy Round a Road course. Drove in Circles for 5 years, Got that down, But I will have to get Harley to teach me a few Road Course tips. Gives me a good reason to put a rear sway bar on now.

pintoman · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:09:14 AM »

Hey Tommy it's easy,just put a blind fold on then turn left and right.Whats so hard about that.I hope to see you two at Bristel.

r4pinto · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2012, 02:15:13 PM »

Ohhhhhh it's so tempting but gotta see what show/car activity to miss this year. Too much to do, not enough time or money. Although, what could be cooler than Bristol & Pinto.

I heard from Brian "Racer Walsh" and so far 10 Pinto's will be racing at the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point. Can you imagine, 10 Pinto's racing around the track with multiple Pinto's in attendance watching. oh, and we get to drive the track as well. The Jefferson 500 will hold a fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.

We are dedicating this Stampede to Richie Evans for his induction into the NASCAR hall of fame. Richie drove a Modified Pinto in the 70's and won more than half the races he entered. We all ready have the blessing of his family. A Pinto driver in the Hall of Fame!!!!!

Also we are in negotiations with Martinsville and Richmond, hopefully we can get one or two more tracks to drive along with Bristol.

I will keep you posted on any new events as they arise.
