  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

    Guys on September 15th the X Bash will take place at Little River in Temple Texas.

    We are planning a 2018 Brand X Bash. We currently have excluded October because of Noble and the GS Nationals. We may look at late May or Mid September. This is a no frills event. Bring your chairs, BBQ grill and Friendship. We have started a page on Facebook called Texas Buicks. Join the group if you FB. Join the Group! I will update information here as we determine essential information regarding the bash. It will be located at Temple Academy Dragway, AKA Little River

    I'll try to make it and see if I can get some DFW guys to come. Good test-and-tune for BG.

    Do you know if they will prep the track or will it be no prep?

    Spoke to few local Buick guys and they knew nothing of this event. They are facebook guys and not on this forum or the TB.com forum. Can someone stir up the pot on Facebook?
