Hoping everyone has a great time out there in Texas today, be sure and look for John Schmidt, with the Lil' red Opel, he shoud have it ready to run strong! and hes got some BPG shirts for sale as well Club membership forms, and a few newsletters for you all to look at. Have fun and be safe!:grin: Bruce
the event turned out very well, We had a field of 24 cars from around texas not to bad for a first time out event. a drawing was held and we have several new BPG members as well as some who decided to Join the BPG. The Lonestar star buick performance club also recieved some new members from this outing. There will be a feature article in the BPG Buildsheet if you are intrested in more info.
What a great time!!! What a good time. This will have to be an annual meet. Talk about a great group of people out, and a great mix of cars. I can't wait till next year!!! I had a great time on the track for the first time in my life. My wife is afraid that I have a new 'bug' for racing. I guess so when you come home talking about a new posi unit and slicks! :grin: I would like to say a big thanks to Phil for making this happen and the BPG for helping out with the event. Also to the others that help get this thing a great turnout. The BPG gave away some memberships, but I didn't win.... so, I joined right there on the spot with John Schmidt. He was a great guy to meet, and certainly fun to see his Opel close up. I even won a membership to the Lone Star Performance Buick Club. :TU: Absolutely Fantastic
The event turned out awesome, very cool to put some names to faces. Thanks to Mark (Captain Mark) for grillin some hamburgers for us! I think everyone had a great time and it should be even bigger and better next year. And John's Opel is every bit as cool as I imagined it:TU: What a cool car...
Looks like you Texans did it up big! just the way you do everything, glad everyone had a great time. John Schmidt is a class act and a great guy to know, Go BPG!! Now for some facts. Who won ? best ET? how fast was that Opel? As you may know John Schmidt is on his way to L.V. for the Oct 3/4 event, and then will bee line back home for a day and refuel to get to the Cecil County Maryland event! I think he gets the long hual award!! hope all had fun and hope to eventually meet all you great folks, Go BPG!! Bruce,
Bruce I am going to hold off on the info so we have a little for the buildsheet as they were 1/2 of the major sponsorship:TU:

Phil and David, major props to you guys for making it all possible:TU: And David.... Man....I dont know what to say about you..... To put your trust in me to take that sweet ride down there. And on top of that, to allow me the opportunity to take it down that scenic narrow little 1/4...... wont be soon forgotten. You da man David!TU: :TU: :TU: Other than knocking your OWN car out in eliminations, all went perfect.:laugh: And to all the others that I met hope to see you all again:beer .
