Who is attending the Brand X Bash In March?
The V8 Buick boys are compiling a list! How about the V6 camp?

Me? I'm bringing both! That's double the a$$ wipping on the Brand Xers that brave the confines of Temple Dragway on BIG BAD BUICK DAY.

Here is the link to the V8 board, if your so inclined
http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=65160

Also for more info on the event go to www.lspbc.org

Hey Dave, did you track down your gremlin in the GN that was causing it to pop/cut out?

If I think my truck can pull the car on a trailer all the way there without burning up the tranny in it, I'll bring it, I want to bring it, but don't want to drive it all the way down there. I may be making a 4000 mile round trip to Washington State pulling a boat so I guess if that don't burn it up, nothing will

It is bracket racing. It is a Street Car meet for the track, were just bashing there party!

All street cars one class, 14/ mile bracket style. Of course we try to take out all of the Brand X's before taking out each other.

Year before last there were about 70 cars in the street class with 32 of them being Buicks.

Last year we had more Buicks, but less Brand X.

The track is playing it up as a Hugh Buick meet.. US vs. them
So they'll be waitng for us!

There is Buick money and track money to be won.

Thanks alot. I prolly won't be able to start doing much to the car until the summer since I don't have a job right now. I do need to know if you know of any good car painters around here. I was supposed to get my car painted for christmas but we haven't found anyone yet. Thanks again for the help.

hehe, by the time you drove from Dallas to Ft Hood, you could have left the state by driving that distance in any other state in the nation Try driving to El Paso, you could be half way to New York in a shorter amount of time....only in Texas!
