Performance Years & Pypes Exhaust hosted their 2nd annual Openhouse Event on June 15-17 and you wouldn't believe the turnout. The weather was beautiful (maybe a little toasty) and the Pontiacs and musclecars were everywhere.
The openhouse was officially kicked off on Friday with a cruise and cruise-in. Lots of great cars showed up and cruised Lansdale's Main Street and enjoyed a free BBQ at the PY and Pypes headquarters. It turned out to be a casual way to meet lots of great people and check out lots of great cars. But Friday's surprise hit was the Pypes muffler box domino rally. The Pypes employees setup several pallets of boxed Pypes mufflers in a domino-style course. At about 5:00pm, the first box was tipped and the expected chain reaction caused all of the remaining muffler boxes to fall along the planned course. It was very impressive and lots of fun to watch. Click here for pictures and a video of the dominos falling. Saturday was the main event with 3 car shows drawing people in. It was obvious from the pre-registrations that 2012's show was going to be bigger than last year, but the turn out was double what was anticipated. By the time registrations closed at noon, there were 238 Pontiacs and 127 other musclecars & trucks registered. But more cars continued to roll in all afternoon. The final total of cars in attendance may not be known but this event is now obviously among the largest car shows in the North East. Click here for the results of all 3 car shows. Along with the staggering number (and variety) of cars to check out, photograph and talk about, there was lots of other things to do on Saturday. Tours to take, food to eat, merchandise to browse, bands to listen to, games to play and other fun to be had. It was a great day to be a car lover (as long as you remembered your sunblock). Click here for pictures from Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the event moved to Maple Grove Raceway for an all Pontiac day at the track. Just like at any race; thrills, excitement and upsets were abound. Racing fans got a full day of Pontiac racing and a great show & shine to finish out their weekend. Performance Years and Pypes Exhaust hope that everyone who attended all or part of the 2012 Openhouse event had a great time. Anyone who didn't make this year's event should now see the folly of their decision and be making plans to attend 2013's Openhouse. The goal is always to make each year bigger and better than the last. Mark your calendars to spend June 14-15, 2013 in Hatfield, PA with PY, Pypes and hundreds of Pontiac and musclecar lovin' friends. You won't be disappointed. |

SATURDAY: BANDS & ENTERTAINMENT We heard nothing but compliments about the band, Life Without..., who played our open house last year. So we are proud to announce that we've booked Life Without... to return for the 2012 event as entertainment all afternoon. They rock a lot of our favorite songs, some old and some new, so we know you won't be disappointed.
This year we've also invited a 2nd band to add more entertainment to the afternoon. We are proud to have steppingSTONE, an indie rock band from North Jersey, performing in the late afternoon. steppingSTONE is known for playing their own material as well as covering renditions of the songs that made us all fall in love with music in the first place. Their sound and influences consist of Tom Petty, The Beatles, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Van Morrison, just to name a few.
