OK all of you Ohio Pinto people.There are two shows in Ohio that are coming up.One is in Norwalk,Ohio and that is the 7-8-9th of July.The other one is Labor day weekend at the National Trails Raceway in Kirkersville just outside of Columbus ,Ohio.I am planning on being at Norwalk and at the Trails.So i am challenging all You Ohio Pinto nuts to be there.We need to show the world that Pintos are great cars to have and drive.
Looks like I better get my butt in gear & get Harold II driveable. Alteast if she needs towed this time it's closer to home.
I wish ;D :D ;) :) ::) ::) ::) ::)
MINE WILL NOW BE THERE!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! :fastcar: :exclamation: ;D
How many Pinto people are going to Norwalk for the Ford Fun Weekend.
If I find a carb I'll have mine there. It's not looking too good though. I can't seem to find a local junk yard that even has carbed Dodge Omni's, which use a very similar carb.

Hey Harley,
I would like more info on the National Trail meet.
Can't make Norwalk...
From Pintony
Hey Tony,I will get some info for the trails show and let you know.Hope the Rallye will make it to Norwalk,just put in a new tranny.Have to find a driveshaft yoke that will fit.
Pending last adjustments to get her going better I'll be getting the car there. I just got a carb from an 87 Ranger & the car drives quite nicely. Just stalls at idle.

I really don't know if mine will be there or not. Call me parinoid, but I keep on remembering the breakdown 48 miles after I fueled up the last time on the way back from Carlisle. I still flip off WV exit 11 Dalas Pike when I help my friend take her son to New Stanton Pa to see his father.
The car runs good now, but that still doesn't convince me all will be good for a 2 hour trip. Who all from Ohio is going?
There will be three of us from columbus,but only with one Pinto.The Rallye will not be there.Still have issues with the drive shaft.
hey there pintoman, my wife an i live in the n.w. corner of pa. across the border of n.e. ohio. it would only take us 2 1/2 hrs to get to norwalk, if we decide to go. what all entails to get in to this fun ford wkend? entry fee for us and/or our pinto? was looking to go somewhere this wk end,an that sounds like fun. i actually pass thru sandusky nearly on a daily basis. i drive truck for a company out of defiance ohio an run engine parts to a gm plant in tonawanda ny(buffalo) i know it may sound weird i transport parts for gm but every vehicle i own is a ford :laugh: write us back, lmk, before sat. thanx ,(pintok)

Just got back from the Ford Fun Weekend at Norwalk.There was only one Pinto in the show ,it is Owned by FINTO[D Burton].Most of the cars were Mustangs.There were about 7 Pintos running in the drag race.I do not know how they faired.The track is one of the best ones that i have seen.I will be going back next year.Did not find any Pinto parts in the swap area.Met up with PATCOSTA and his wife ,real nice people.I did not get any pictures,forgot the camera.

Hi all!
I just joined and wanted to add my two cents to the Ohio Car Shows subject.
Saturday Aug. 12 Chalet Debonne Winery Classic Car Show
Sunday Aug. 13 Chardon Square, in Chardon Ohio
I live in northeast Ohio and have had my Pinto about five years and so far have been the only one at the shows I have attended.
A friend at work recommended joining a Pinto club for help in solving my current transmission troubles. More on that later. M.G.
