Original paint, green in color, looked like the paint could possibly be buffed out and look really good!

Once it was up on the roll back we were able to take a better look at it.

The bumpers and chrome trim were all there and in excellent condition!

Most legends are based on minimal facts that are embellished upon as the stories are repeated through the years, until the legend has become something of an epic exaggeration. Such is not the case with the legend of Goose's Pontiac GTO! Some of us have heard the rumours of Goose having an old Pontiac GTO stored away in a garage somewhere. I knew Goose for over 35 years and we never talked about his having a GTO. In fact I don't remember where or when I actually heard about the car. I don't even remember who told me about the car. As the story went he never drove the car, just had it tucked away, somewhere.

Well I can tell you now the legend was true! I met with Goose's son the day the car was removed from storage and taken away to start a new life! Here's some photos commemorating the event:

This is the garage the GTO was in for the last 38 or so years!

The padlocks were so rusty they had to be cut off with bolt cutters!

What an awesome day! We had over 40 people attend the open house and run some laps on the track. It was so nice to see everyone including some folks I hadn't seen for quite sometime. The last couple of weeks were quite hectic trying to get ready for this event, and those that had stopped by during that period seemed pretty shocked by the fact the track was ready to go (myself included)! But it did appear everyone was having a good time. I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to stop by, and thank those that brought food and snacks. A special thanks to Kirk Smith for building this track in the first place, and to Bob McFarland for allowing me to be the third caretaker of the track. And the BIGGEST THANKS to my fantastic wife Diane for helping me make this whole thing happen!

It took photos to get everyone included, some folks arrived after the photos were taken.

Fifteen races into the 2019 season and it looks like Al might have it sewed up. The competition just keeps getting better this season! The races are closer than they ever have been, and we are enjoying the company of many new racers! This is one fantastic season, and a big thank you goes out to Al Christensen for providing us with such a nice track and facility to race at!

I actually like Strombecker track! They made a lot of really cool specialty pieces, like the Le Mans start piece.
