2012 BPG Event - August 3rd and 4th

[Chris]

2012 BPG Event will be held on Aug. 3 - 4 this year.

Anyone planning on attending? 

It's time to talk to the board of directors again about turning 2015 into the year of the 65!  My dream is to get fifty 65 Buicks (all makes) to attend.

[Chris]

Are you really Jan?  This is the Buick Performance Group show in Ohio and it would awesome to finally meet you in person.

Ted, Tom, Jimmy or anyone else planning on making it this year?

[Jimmy Stewart]

I'm interested.  That's smack dab in the middle of two other trips I have planned so I may be a late decisision and/or arrive late on Friday.  I have family in Tipp City so I'll probably sleep there and "commute" up to the events each day.

Yep Chris, I am a member of the BPG too as well as the GSCA. We booked hotel in January for the BPG, arriving in the states 15th July and leaving again 5th August.

No worries, I will be there for the show Saturday.    Car=not sure, but I am working on the 65 Skylark GS.    That would be amazing to have that ready.  Hmmm

[Chris]

Well, since Tom, Jimmy, Jan and Ted are all showing up, I have to go and keep these guys out of trouble.  :)

Anyone else planning on making it?

I could use the support to help influence the board of our seriousness for the 2015 year.

I will be there. Really hoping to drive one of my cars down. The new one has a lifter tick that needs to get sorted out prior to committing to a 2500 mile round trip trek.

I'm thinking that in order to stay close to my car at night I'm leaning towards tent camping at the KOA at Buckeye Lake.  But it's nearly $50/night just to sleep on the ground.  Not that I mind, but I'm not above shopping around.  Does anyone else recommend a good "safe" location nearby where your car won't get molested?

Chris,

Are people still going on the 3rd and 4th to Hebron?  I've got my plans set to arrive in the afternoon of the 3rd and I'll drop by that afternoon and stay all day on Saturday the 4th.  Is there a good rally place to meet up at the show?  Should we try and park close to each other or just park and meet up somewhere inside?  I can pass my cel number seperately if you want.

Jimmy

[Chris]

I'm still planning on it Jimmy.

I'm anyone going wants to organize a meeting, please private message me your email and cell phone number and I'll send out a email to that group with everyone's information on it.  It's pretty easy for anyone bringing a car to be recognized however for anyone else this is a way to connect while there.  Sharing this information is also good in the event anyone needs help.  I live in Ohio so I can help anyone in the area that might need assistance.

Thanks

Still going to attend, but not with the 4 speed car. The engine issue has been fixed, but I'm not ready to drive it that far until it has more local road time. Sooooooo, my other 65 that's not much to look at just very well might convey my arse to Hebron. Going to check it over later today and tomorrow, and try charging the AC system.

I will be there from August the 1st in the blue ?66 Wildcat. We will be staying at the Newark Metropolitan Hotel. There is still rooms there, mention promo code Buick2012 and the nights will be $85.

[Chris]

I'm driving down the morning of the 4th and I'll be there most of the day.  I'm debating if I'm going to drive my convertible down after I noticed a tapping sound in the engine after I took it for a cruise the other day.  I'm sure it's something that can be fixed by replacing the lifters however I won't have the time to replace them before the trip.  I might try running some mystery oil through the engine and do a oil change with the zinc additive and see if this helps.

See you guys there,

Chris
