I understand this. The answer to that dilemma is still the same. More Buick racers need to show up and move the slower guys down the ladder to a more appropriate position relative to the Fords. I know several times I've raced Fords significantly slower than me in the past. Just defends on the...

As far as the lack of competitiveness on team Buick's part it falls on our team to organize and have the will to win. For years the real answer was the turbo Buick had a performance advantage. Easy mods netted 12's when it took real work to get a 5 liter to run that number. The average hobbyist...

To all racers and fans this is pretty much the hardest post I've ever had to make. I am cancelling the Buick vs Ford race scheduled for October 13th. I know many of you had been wondering what was gonna happen since the track appeared to be having trouble opening for the 2012 race season...

Ok fellas. Been off the grid awhile working to solve a little dilemma with the track.....being open or not. LOL. As of this week I have been informed we will indeed be able to run the event at Ark City. There was a fair bit of drama with the track even being open and I have much respect for...

Took the words outta my mouth about the Sig. They'll have to put my 220 in the casket with me when I go. LOL.

I have three T's at the shop right now. My brother's 80,ooo mile 1 owner 87. My Burgandy 87 and a White 86 we're currently doing up for the wife. My brother's car and the White one are both slated for a little paint wokr this summer. Once a week or so I get a....let's call them hood types...

Come on Texas guys, it's just a little further. Besides, don't they say everything's bigger in Texas? If true then does that include your hearts and your compassion for the Northerners that drive farther than any of us getting a couple hour shorter drive? How bout showin some love to the...

Glad to see some of the usual suspects committing as well as some guys who've missed a few coming back. Funny thing is I was worried when I stepped into DW's shoes that we'd have a bust of a race since we moved the event and HOPED everyone would stick with it out of the same love for the show as...

Check updated flyer post for host hotel discounts and Friday t&t.

Bushmaster Superlight. Bushmaster basically put a Red Dot on an ORC and changed the name. Weighed it when I got it, came in at 5lbs. Stayed with that light theme and it weighs 5.9lbs as pictured(no rounds in mag). Every time I shoot it the damn thing does it's best to convince me I was shooting...

Check out the attached flyer for the 2012 Buick vs. Ford Shootout. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the race. Spread the word. We need all the racers we can get guys! Gonna do running updates right here in this post: For all the racers asking about Friday night testing as it's listed TBD...

Currently working on an all infornative post with track info, maps and hotels in the area as part of the "formal" Buick vs Ford event notice that we will be posting on the net wherever we think we can get racers. Keep your eyes peeled as it WILL be here first.

Glad to see we have some early commitments going on. Guys, Ark City is a cool little track. For those from the North it's a little closer than Noble and for those from the South it's only a little further North. I know several from the Northeast make long hauls to get to this race so to all the...

Last time I posted I mentioned I was working on something to keep this event alive. We have succeeded. This is fresh off the presses news and I haven't even had time to make fliers and any advertising. I have contacted the major players and the same familiar faces will be greeting entrants and...

Working on something. I love going to Buick/Ford. Matter of fact it has been the ONLY race I have been able to get away from the shop to attend for the last 2 years. I prefer racing other brands and just don't get the "whoop" from racing other Buicks. I respect everything Dick and others have...

And others. :wink:

Sounds like a freak failure to me. In 400 miles I'd blame that on a defective part more than anything, not the "engineering" of the motor. As far as a reliable 8 second street car...Better break out the checkbook and then still pray no matter what motor you have. It takes a ton of power to run...

As I stated in the other thread, count me in the no V8 in an original Turbo Buick. However, If like the OP I bought one already hacked and I just wanted to go fast then whatever makes you happy. Owning a shop and building tons of LS cars I can guarantee you anyone that thinks they are gonna...

What I don't get is...how fast do you wanna go? A stock block LC2 will go 10's all day reliably if you know what your doing. A Stage anything V6 will go 9's in a full weight car reliably. Yes, it'll cost more but so what. If I want cheap I'm buying a 4th gen Camaro with an LS and going to town...

I keep wondering if it wouldn't be possible to move it up one more week. Two weeks separation from BG would give those who travel time to go home, decompress, make some more cash at work and THEN travel again. Also easier sometimes to get shorter chunks of vacation at a job than trying to take a...
