    2023 nationals latest.
    Everything is on par so far for this year. Since everyone got the latest issue of the gs extra we had an update. With some negotiations and work myself, Richard, Ron Joseph and a few others behind the scenes were able to lower the pricing a bit then first estimated.
    Wednesday is 15 to enter per person. Kids free. Additional 100 for a race ticket.
    Thursday thru Saturday is 30 per spectator and Additional 40 for a race ticket per day.
    This is official and locked in.
    Currently the staff is still working on a car show ticket price but it's gonna be 25 or 30. Trying to find the best pricing and quality on trophies and supplies for this price. I wanted to keep entry fees very fair for all. That is difficult being just buick only so I felt with the handful of cross breeds now and some open test and tune for the diehard Buick guys with other models this will help offset the cost and not interfere at all with the program or current race classes at all.

    My next goal is to raise some additional funding to help for way better track prep. Glue is expensive and track materials are expensive. I have had a few racers, sponsors and people ask how to help for my Wednesday rental and this is one way. 10 and 20 dollars goes along way. Any profits from Wednesday will be put towards prep and the extra Friday night costs of racing longer as well. With the added racing Wednesday and Thursday this year it gives people the chance to make it a 4 day event again. If anyone is interested in helping out or has any ideas please message me or call. 914 469 8617.
    I'm very thankful for all the great comments, suggestions and donations already towards the Wednesday and the extra payouts for the classes. Without people like them and sponsors this stuff would not happen.
    Next year is not promised so let's make this year a great one. I have gotten some calls from some diehards that haven't been in years and are planning the trip this year. Even if you can't bring a car please come out and spectate to keep this and other events going and enjoy yourself.

    This should give adequate time for everyone that wants to double enter classes. Also this will speed the program up and help ease the track prep. With this layout the overall prep will be easier because certain classes need more prep than others.



    Comments are welcome.



    This seemed to be the most fair way and majority way after the polls were taken.
