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

    It was great to see you all and have time to spend together, one of the big things i enjoy about MWBC is how laid back and less hectic it is than the bigger badder national events.

    Thanks for the pics, so cool.

    thank you, you are to kind. you know i am a big Da Wagon fan as well.

    the window, well i made the decision to push all the shattered glass out Sunday morning and make the move twoards home and try to dodge the rain drops. good news is the rain never fell and i checked my parts door and it has the glass intact, but...

    the final 60 miles home was on the back of a flat bed tow rig. it appears one of the adjustable pushrods decided it was much to tall and wanted to be as short as it could be. it was making an incredible amount of noise and did not want to start hot after 2.5 hours of driving home. so i wanted to be safer than sorry especially after the bad window luck.

    when it rains it pours so to speak.

    but my car made its quickest pass both in ET and MPH and i had a great time Friday and Saturday nights with all my friends so i still rate the weekend a big :TU:

    Sorry I missed it:ball:
    Friday just didn't work out, I had to work until Noon Saturday, and to top things off, my wife failed to tell me until 7:00 Friday night that we had her family reunion Saturday, and my side's family reunion Sunday:Dou:
    Talk about a totally screwed weekend, I even had the new Buick plated,insured,washed up, and full of fuel:Do No:

    Will this event be returning to Osceola next year?
    What did you think of our little track?

    You didn't have Joe tagging along with you on the way home??
    Sorry to hear of the trouble on the way home.

    Overall I had a great time even though I didn't get to race. Placed 2nd in GN/Turbo Regal show class so at least took home some iron.
    I'll definately be back next year. :TU: :TU:

    Wish I could have made it, maybe next year. I'm not a racer, but love to hang out with other Buick people.
