I ran across these today old tickets today. They sure bring back memories. Do you have any tickets from the other years? If so, let’s see them. 1988 was the first GS Nats we attended (I was only 14). We were just spectators and didn’t even own a Buick. After that event we were hooked and by November 1988 I had convinced my dad to buy a wrecked ‘67 GS 400 convertible that I had spotted (that car is now mine). For the 1989 we took the repaired ‘67 GS 400 convertible to the event (I don’t have the tickets from that event). We displayed it in the show and even made 1 pass down the drag strip (14.80). For 1990 we took an Apollo White ‘70 GSX that my dad restored for a customer/friend. At that time there was no judged Concours class at the GS Nats. The car show was 100% peer judged, aka “popular vote” where each person that entered a show car got a ballot to go around and pick their favorite car in each class. We were thrilled to get a 2nd place in the GSX class because it had a dozen cars. I recently race across the photos of those events as well as some homemade video of the 1990 GS Nats car show. I’ll try to get those uploaded sometime soon.
I'll have to look through my stuff. I was there from '85-98 (was 18 in '85 & drove my '72 GS) & '17-23.
My dad found this '92 ticket last week. I was an 18-year-old that was a month away from graduating high school.
