Hello&happy Thanksgiving . my nane is RUSS RUSSINKO from Hardyston NJ. I own a 1970 GS Stage 1 which I bought from the origial owner my brother GARY who bought the car from Brekhus Buick in Rapid City SD. when he was in the Air Force. I raced the car in NHRA C/SA in the mid 1980s best time was 11.70@115mph The car was also in a poster printed by Power Graphics in 1986.(black w/centerline wheels).For the last 18 years it sat in my garage(due to divorce&child support). Currently is going thru a frame off & update to run NHRA D/SA. (nhra lowerd the hp from 400 to 390 after 25 years. Hope to be racing by july. Any one running running stock eleminator out there please e.mail me @russrussinko@aol.com

Hey Russ I remember you from a Buick meet at Island Dragway 1985(?). You were kinda fed up with the way the car was running that day. Was that the last time you ran it? I've got the pics from that day..... Man time flies doesn't it? Bruce
Welcome aboard Russ! To echo Al's (GSThunder) comments, there are quite a few of us here from the good 'ole 'Joisey area, and we like to get together at least a couple times a year. I'm from West Orange. I also run a factory Stage1 registry, trying to document the surviving cars. Please consider registering your GS. All information is contained at www.stage1registry.com or you could e-mail/PM me your phone # and a good time to call. Thanks, and again welcome :TU:
Hey Russ, Where have you been? I havent seen you since the heater repair. Give me a call and hope I can help you with your car. Thanks , Rob:beer
RUSS! Long time no here. I'm glad to hear you never sold your car, and kept it. December 6th is the NE Chapter xmas party, why don't you come out? Greg PS: Check out the December issue of HotRod!
Russ! Welcome aboard and don't be a stranger!. We have some long time Buick history here with you, since the early days in 1980. Glad you managed to keep the GS. It's a piece of Buick history! Rick Martinez
