I know Starc wanted to make it but was unavoidably detained. But overall a very nice representation of Buick’s. It was nice to see some AMC’s and Mercury’s too along with the rest. Always some Studebakers there as well.
The FoMoCos overall tend to lack a presence there. 'Tis a shame. Last year there was a Boss 429 but he broke. I was hoping he'd make it this year but nein.
The Boss 429 is a local guy that we get together with a few times during the year. The car is together and running. Trying to find replacement parts is a tall order since so many parts are special or specific to the car therefore he doesn't want to risk breaking anything. It took him 15 + years to gather parts to put it back together after being rear ended.
Diego, I did miss being able to visit with you. It is a bit tough to do since there is so much going on in such a short time. Saturday morning after my 1st warm up run the car developed a miss which ended my day. It's either a bent valve or loose valve seat insert. Won't know for sure until after I tear it down.
That's a bummer.....your best hope right now is MCACN next year, as I think I have a family wedding and may have to miss the PSMDR.
This event is like a hidden gem. Get it on your calendar for next year. Very laid back event, great people, high quality and great variety of cars.
Here are a couple of youtube videos of some of the action. The second video is pretty cool because it's a guy and his little girls first trip to the Pure stocks. .
