    Alright...
    Super Excited to announce. I have a firm date set in stone for an
    All Buick Test N Tune Day here in Texas.

    May 11, 2019

    Test N Tune will be from 4pm to Midnight for us.
    $20 Gate Fee
    $10 Tech Card

    The track manager, Gaylen Smith has been very generous to us and told me last night, anyone that comes to the all Buick Test N Tune Day can feel free to stay after our event for more Testing if they like, for No Added Cost!!. Because of this, I would encourage anyone and everyone to give him a nice thanks when they see him, plus spend some money at their track for food and drinks, plus maybe some awesome track apparel.

    This track has Amazing Prep, you will not be disappointed!.

    They also do test n tune, plus grudge racing on Friday nights. Gaylen said, anyone that wants to show up on Friday can leave their trailer and car at the track overnight.

    PLEASE HELP SHARE THIS TNT DAY WITH ANY AND ALL OTHER BUICK PAGES.

    Rich, I wish.... Always tuning issues. The 72 is getting a fast fuel system and the GN lays over after warmed up. So I will be there to support everyone. And visit with good friends.

    It should be a good place to bring the GN , should be plenty of guru types to help get it where it needs to be.

    Ken is in talks with the track. As soon as I know, it shall be posted.
    I was looking FWD to. Would have been epic to have a Texas event again. And if I know Ken it will happen. Just have to get it ironed out with the track.

    Ken W has posted a tentative date of August 10 from 4-midnight for the TNT event at Xtreme Raceway in Ferris,Tx
    It was also posted that this will probably be a multimake event with the Cadillac guys. The Cadillac guy that was in the talks thought he could get fifty cars so I am hoping us Buick guys can show up with at least that too.
    Either way this is tentative so far. Will post again when it is made official . Hope to see all y'all there.

    Here is ken's post from facebook

    UPDATE ON TEST N TUNE EVENT

    Talked to the Track Manager a couple weeks back about a make up day for a TNT. He asked me if we would be opposed to having the Cadillac Club and Camaro Club join our TNT. After some discussion with him and I also talked to the president of the Cadillac club last night, I’d say let’s just do Buick’s and Cadillacs. He said he can get at least 50 cars together and that’s just here in the DFW area.

    The Event Day We Are Working On Is

    August 10th and would be from around 4-Midnight.

    Everyone please chime in and let me know your thoughts and if this is something you will still want to do.

    Thanks

    Looks like they nailed down a date.

    BUICK/CADILLAC CTSV TEST N TUNE

    Finally got an answer back from the track manager.

    Time is 5-Midnight. Track manger is very generous and said if we still have people there wanting to get some extra time trials in, we can possibly go a little later than Midnight!.

    Gate Is $20
    Tech Card $15

    The Track is 15 Minutes from Ennis, TX, for those that need or want to make Hotel/Motel arrangements.
