Title: 2018 GS Nats dates are October 24-27th!!
Post by: GS66 on October 25, 2017, 07:37:39 PM
Found this on the internet, always wanted to go to the Buick GS Nationals. Assuming it?s in Bowling Green at Beech Bend Raceway. Maybe I?ll be in Bowling Green twice next year! Maybe we should get a group of 64-66?s and attend!

  Hey not an entirely bad idea.  And it's after the wedding in September.  Wonder if I'll have any money left ?   :icon_scratch:

I was a regular at the Nats in the early years starting with #2 in 1982. Haven't been there since 1996. Always had a good time, I gotta get there again!

Title: Re: 2018 GS Nats - Head Count
Post by: GreatScat1965 on October 21, 2018, 08:47:27 AM
Good morning all. I started getting ready for the trip to BG. NWS is calling for clear to partly cloudy and COLD. I figured it might be nice to get a headcount so we'll all know who to look for. I'll be there Thursday afternoon. I plan to go straight to the track. I'll my white '65, "Rusty" the Suburban and a shiny new aluminium car hauler. I'm looking forward to see how a 1350# trailer pulls on a long trip. It weighs almost 1/2 of the old one weighed.   See you guys there!   :rocker:

Dear Jim and mid-60s Buick owners who venture forth, . . . .

This beautiful 66 GS ran 10.70?s and reminded me of Bills car.

Thanks for the photo!  So how much rain fell during the GS Nationals?  Was it much of a factor?

One tenth of an inch but it ruined any racing on a Friday as it drizzled all day long. We still had a good time.
