Wonder if the "Left Coast" accomplishments in the Buick world will finally be recognized for what has been done over the years?

Some impressive records are from our part of the country:

First NHRA Super Stock car in the 7's, 210 cu. in. V-6 Buick

First stock block [109] Buick V-6 in the 8's.

TSM MPH record

TSM ET record

Fastest & quickest TSM in BG ever

And of course the above fantastic record!

Bet you guys also can come up with other achievements to show "we do Buicks RIGHT"!

Lee, we have a great group of talented and hard working guys over the years sharing the good stuff and the bad.

The "learning curve" has been steep and expensive. Lots of thanks needs to be given to the few with "deep pockets" [and patience] that have allowed us to go beyond our known limits and try new stuff.

What was unthinkable a few years ago, is now an easy build, not cheap, but easily doable.

There are many people that have given their support, knowledge and help in these these achievements, including some from the "Right Coast"!

Yes, I am proud to have played a small part in this and especially proud to know and work with these people and count them as friends.
