 I didn't understand from the posting that this is being tied in with the BPG event--I was thinking the 65 GS 50th was it's own event.   I got it now!

So I can put you down as a "Hell Ya I'll be there"? 

I'll bring you a cooler full of ice and maybe even drop in a beverage of two of your liking.   :occasion14:

If I could get my car on the road I would bring it to the BPG nats.  But I am kinda slow worker.  Typically I am on the track racing

I will hopefully be there. Have a possibility of three to bring. GS. Sportwagon. Skylark race car. Unfortunately they are all in pieces.  They might not look pretty but surely I can get one of them there.

Just a heads up that the BPG is considering having the Gran Sport's 50th anniversary celebration in 2014. There is currently a straw poll asking member for their thoughts on this. Not sure if it will happen, but typically the BPG tries to have a theme for each years event.

I forgot to add that BPG might not be in Columbus next year. For those not at the 2013 event, we lost Saturday due to Mother Nature having a hissy fit. :icon_biggrin:  NTR made the decision to close the track by 0800 due to rain, and recurring water seepage. Thus no racing or car show. So we partied most of the day at the host hotel. :occasion14:

The BPG executive is considering a different location for 2014, but likely staying in Ohio.

Brians post today about the 50 year anniversary made me start thinking about what has actually been planned for next year.  Has anyone heard of any commitments from any of the clubs that the 1965 GS will be the "car of the year" next year at any events?  Next year no only marks the 50 year anniversary of the GS but also Buick performance.  If none of the groups have considered this, we need to start planting some seeds now if it's to happen.  I would still love to see 50 cars show up at one of the events and selfishly I would love to see this happen at the BPG show in Columbus.

I will definitely be there with my 65 Vert, it's about a half hour from my home.

Yes - I'll attend with car in tow. By the way where is it? At BPG Columbus? Any chance we could get a race class. I'm proud to show the old girl but it would be great to race against other Nailhead powered Gran Sports. OK we could have a class for the 445 conversion guys too, I guess....
