Any vehicle powered by a GM powertrain is welcome....yes there have been a Jag with a Vette RAT motor and a BMW w a 350 before. 3 years ago a guy had a Harley with a 350 chevy on board Shocked ... a few Drag and Race cars too. So far we have 60 GP's registered from OQCGP. There will probably be 300-400+ vehicles there in total.

They have engines and parts on display, and a few Vehicles too....this year, the new ZR-1 will be on display.... Many clubs (Corvette - F-Body - J-Body) including those from your side of the river attend this. They have prizes too...
some of which are:
-Farthest travelled to show (I think one of ours from Quebec won one year)
-highest mileage on stock engine (330K again one of ours...lol)
-oldest vehicle (1910 Chevy one year)

Gentlemen and Ladies, it's 10-15 Minutes from Lewiston, 20 from N.Falls NY and 30 or so from Buffalo.

Support you GM Vehicle with 100 years of GM!!!.

Here's a copy of the message from Tom Laing:

We have vendors and a BBQ available and proceeds are given to charity. There is no charge for registration and it is a one day event, rain or shine. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Please mark this date on your calendar and hopefully your club will be able to attend! Registration can done electronically from our site (www.gmpowertrain.ca) or e-mail me (tom.laing@gm.com) with your information. I need name, address, phone and postal code as well as year make and model of vehicle that is being registered! There will be a club participation award so tell me what Club you belong to. Goody Bags will be given to the first 300 people that pre-register! We build Corvette and other great Engines!! Visit the GM Powertrain St. Catharines Web Site at www.gmpowertrain.ca. and see what we are all about!
Spend the weekend here in the Niagara Peninsula and get a taste of wine country and if you wish, a little bit of the Casino Niagara.
