An early heads up! We just announced the date - Sunday August 16th, 2009 And a new location - Pearson Air Museum, Vancouver WA This is a great location, close to downtown Vancouver and all registered cars get family admission to the museum included free. More info later.
Tom We will let anyone in who has a Buick! Even you guys from up North! We usually have a few Canadians show up - so it would be great if more came down. It is not that far - remember you are driving Buicks. We could park your '68 next to my '68. Hope you will come down and bring some of your buddies.:beers2:
Ill put the imfo in the Puget Sound chapter newsletter so maybe a few from up here can show up, Tammie and I are planning to go to Pinks all out but as far as I know its on saturday the 15th so maybe we can make both events that weekend
Its the 14th & 15th & will most likely not get over with until well after midnight. Then the ride home lol, Since we are planning on racing.
Just going to watch here and the drive home from pacific raceways is only 10 minutes:grin: so if the weather is good Ill try to make it south the next morning.What are they doing friday th 14th?
Test & Tune runs & culling some of the pack, They are expecting about 500 cars to show up, They need to weed it down to about 300 or so. YOuguys going to make the Puyallup show this year? Tammie shipped me a newsletter last year before the show with the fliers. Ended up taking 3rd with my 72
I think that if they are going to have a limit of 300 vehicles, they should start with a pre-computer years only. Maybe 1972 and older. I just walk right on by when I go to a auto/classic car show and see 1978 Cadillacs or 1973 Ford Fairlanes or even a Buick GN. Sorry, just need to show that real classic cars need to show up instead of filling up spaces with 1998 Riviera's and such.
We are talking about racing its open to all race cars including pros, NOT classic cars, I am sure you will see alot of classic cars racing & trying to be in the top 16.
I think there might be some confusion Iroczlover and I got off on a little bit of a side conversation about pinks all out tv show at pacific raceways on the post about the portland car show which is the same weekend.Im sure dukec can answer any questions about the Portland car show as this is his post.
Gee talk about getting off track - no pun intended!! No racing at the Portland BCA show - also no limit on number of cars. All Buicks welcome - All years welcome. If there is enough interest we may have special parking for Buick street rods and we of course will have special parking for '68 GS converts.:beer Maybe we could have a special parking spot for V8 Buick cars?? This will be a great show at a great new venue - Pearson Air Museum in Vancouver, WA. 50 miles closer to Seattle - so you don't have to drive as far. Hope to see everyone there! Let me know if you have questions. I will post an registration form as soon as it is out.
Duke, That is a great venue for a show! Thanks for snagging it. I used to be part of the Fort Vancouver Pipe Band and we used to practice in the hangar every Thursday night. Cool old buildings, cool old planes, cool old trees...it's just a cool spot! And the best part, it's only fifteen minutes from my house in Orchards! We'll see you guys there...and if a major miracle occurs I might even arrive by Buick (but let's not get ahead of ourselves).
George Why don't you come and hang out at some of the chapter meetings? I'd love to have another local "stepchild" present. We have some really fun things planned for the year.:TU:
Hey Duke, I would be interested in attending a club meeting if I'm in town. Let me know when your having your next. I hope I can make the show at Pearson as well, I could park next to your car to make it look even more spectacular:laugh:
We would like to see both of you guys at any and all of our events. Bret - you should try to make it to the Feb event. Watch for the newsletter in the next couple of days. Steve - pm me your email addy & I will get you added to our newsletter list. I hope you can come to some of our events. Is it cold in DH? The way it's been down here for the last month, I think I'm up there. Cold & snowy - keep it in AK.
Being a California boy, something I've always wondered ...how and why do people live in minus 36 degeees below zero weather?
