  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Birch Run Mi 2019

    Birch Run Michigan a sleepy small farming town. then in the mid 1970's they started holding snowmobile grass drags about once a month every summer.

    I suppose a developer saw that nice big chunk of land in a different light. By 1980 the grass drag raceing was gone and a huge out let mall came into being. With the out let mall came a car dealer ship and many fast food resturants out side of that sleepy little town

    the Car Dealer ship was a Chevrolet dealer till GM started whacking dealers and brands. today it is a Buick and Chevolet dealer owned by Andy Suski.
    They have put on a car show there this years being the 20th.

    No one knows Buick V 6 engines here?

    Guess I should check on a Jeep site since they used a Buick V6 engine in some models.

    No that was Gene Simons, he owned the Espree.

    There were probably at least 65 Corvettes there most were newer like 2000 and up.
