A friend of mine e-mailed me today to tell me that a Jim Wagner (who is a Pro-Touring guy) is going to be on Adam Carrolla's podcast today. He asked if I knew him and I said I might know the guy but that we have members here who only use ambiguous usernames with no real name in the signature.

Help me out....is Jim a member here?

Met the guy at the Pontiac show in St. Charles,IL. Saw him race at Byron,IL where he blew his rearend up. What an awesome guy. He signed my car. Then on Monday he rolled up at the place I get my trans done. DRC in Elk Grove Village,IL rebuilt his rearend.

He signed your car?

Is he a famous Pontiac Motorsports guy?

Somehow the name's not ringing a bell or maybe I'm just have a brain fart today. LOL!!

He is a former marketing director at Pontiac. Nice guy, seems like if you're at a national show he's always around.

Ask any blue blooded Poncho guy who he is and he'll look at you funny like jeesh, you don't know who Jim Wangers (not Wagner) is?? He is the "Godfather" of the GTO, Pontiacs advertising fanatic of the late 60's. He's like BASF, he didn't make the GTO, he just made it better. IIRC he has a couple good books out right now.

Nice! Ponti-Carlo is in the fore-ground. Seen it "in action" a few times :)
