    There were finally a couple other Buicks there, so I hung out with them and didn't take many pictures.

    Over 500 hundred cars attended this year. Down about 100 from last year. It was announced over the PA that the Hornets from Charlotte, NC are planning on bringing some cars next year (I am assuming they meant the car club and not the ball team).

    I was still the only turbo Buick there that was still turbo powered (the white T had a SBC). The gray primered '70 was an original 350 with 4 speed GS. The previous owner bought the car in 1979 and really surprised everyone when he sold it to the current owner a few months ago. Still a 4 spd, but has a SBC now. New owner hopes to find a 455 and make a GSX clone. The '68 GS was bought at a local dealer about 3-4 months ago. I believe it came from NC. Really nice looking car.

    I guess the strangest/coolest thing I witnessed all weekend was the BMW Isetta in the burnout contest.

    That's what I think, Hector. The guy announcing it wasn't very specific, other than saying they were trying to get rooms reserved. If I hear more about it, I'll pass it on.
