BCA Nationals, who gonna be there?

[nut465gs]

The BCA Nationals this year will be in South Bend, Indiana July 17 - 20. How many '65 GS will be there? Who's going to be there, but without their '65 GS?  At the 2010 BCA Nationals in Ames, Iowa, we had a gathering of eight '65 GSs plus about three owners who did not have their car there. Who's going to be in South Bend?

John, I'll be there sans GS, but with a GS. Riding shotgun with Rob Keena in a red 65 4 speed convt.

John, will be there with the Turquoise convertible. Are you going to make it with the red convertible ?

Dan,

I would like to be there, but I have a scheduling conflict. I don't see anyway around it. However, I will be there in spirit. I'm hoping that there will be a number of '65 GSs there as this is a little closer to where many of the '65 GS are located. Registration deadline for the BCA Nationals is June 30. Dan, I expect daily updates.

I will be there with a white 65 hardtop. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

Unfortunately the closest I'm likely to get that week would be I-94 heading back to Canada in my big rig.

Mark & Rob

Have you decided what day you are heading for South Bend yet?

I am part of the Gopher Buick Chapter as you know and we are helping support registration this year so I will be their Tuesday night.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the new and old faces.

Well made it on Friday and it was like a oven hot! I think there where 7 65 there? Dan's  convert ,Rob's convert, Glen's hardtop,Al's hardtop, Roger's's hardtop, Harlee's post, and Bill's hardtop lark all great looking cars WOW! There were also some very nice 66 to 72 GS's to ! Got to talk to almost everybody and had a great time and even found some needed parts! Nos door handles ( already got them on the car!), 2 used nice tri-shield rear view mirrors, a gs air cleaner in great shape! My buddy Ron picked -up a red sport steering wheel, and a nice knee knocker tach! Mark Ascher also picked-up some rare dealer only gs literature! And I think Milt picked-up a hard to find color and trim book! Way to go guys!

Update from Dan Ankeny; Roger Sears won "mild" modified first place with his black 4 speed; Al Jones won a senior preservation award and most points for a 61-72 A-body with his blue/white auto 65; and Dan won a senior gold, 390+ points with his 4 speed convert. There was a great showing of 65/66 GS cars at the show. Congrats to all the winners! I'll post up some pics today.

Oven hot pretty much describes the weather.

Saturday was the cool day - 84 degrees and a 68 dew point. Thanks for helping me load the trailer Mark.

Way to go Dan! Was it your first judged show too? right!

[dsags]

Yep, first judged show. The BCA plaques are sure nice. Somehow managed to lose my camera  otherwise would post pictures of the show.
