I thought about going but haven't decided yet. If I go I'll probably drive down the night before and stay one day.

Wow.. how did that happen?

I was answering back to another thread about attending the GS Nats this year.

Of course I'll be at BPG in 2015... I'll be the one running around trying to help organize the 65's and loving every minute of it.

Wow!, you had me concerned there for a minute.
We also will not be able to attend the GS nats this year due to a college graduation. The LAST one!!!!

Looking forward to next years.

Gee Chris, I was thinking that I might have to round up a few "posse" members, and hogtie you into attending.

But then I noticed you corrected yourself.

I will be there with my 65 GS convert 4-speed,hopefully I will also have my 65 hardtop 4-speed there also.

The idea is still alive guys and I'm going to push this year to get things started.

A strong showing of cars at the Columbus show this year would really help make BPG realize how many of use 65 guys are out there.

I am still planning on attending this event.

Now to get some cash together so my car will show itself better than it currently does.

Four more years to save Tom.

Do you think you'll be driving your car down for the 2015 event?

I know it's been a while since I last logged on, but I plan on trailering my car down. At least by 2015, my mortgage will be paid down enough for me to draw a line of credit to finish the restoration.

Awesome, I'll keep the coals stoked on this one and I'll be talking to the BPG guys this year.

18 cars planned to be there according to the polls.

Maybe 50 cars isn't as crazy as it first seemed. n

Chris,

This is a lame "soft maybe". Yes I'm very interested, but it just depends on where / if I'm still in the Navy at that time. I'll commit to yes so long as I'm within a one day drive, maybe if it takes two-three days and probably no if it takes any longer to get there. Only time will tell.

Any way possible to consider moving this until sometime in the Fall so the weather will be more enjoyable. My favorite time to get my GS out is in late Sept/October. July and August are going to be smoking hot outside (having flashbacks to the BCA show two weekends ago where it was 106).

Chris · « **Reply #29 on:** July 09, 2012, 04:02:10 PM »

Unfortunately Brian I think the Buick Performance Group is stuck on this time of year due to track availability and weather that's more conducive to drag racing. I had originally suggested the BPG since they recognize Buick performance of all years and they traditionally honor a different year and make every year (I don't think the 65 has been recognized yet). I also leaned more towards BPG vs. the GS Nats because the BPG crowd seems more dedicated to the hobby and owners and the organizers of the GS Nats has ran many members away. I stopped going to the Nats because they always treated the 65 - 67 owners like second class citizens. I'll never forget the first year I went and they placed the 65's near the portable toilets. Dennis Manner was there with his camera crew and they wouldn't film most of the cars due to the scenery in the background. Adding insult to injury, a large part of the show field was empty and they spaced the 70's and 80's cars far apart to "fill in" the rest of the field.

We could consider organizing multiple events across the country so everyone has a chance to join in the fun however I know that for most of us, time off work and the cost of gas will probably limit us to one of two shows.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
