Huge thanks to Mr. Richard Clark for putting on such a wonderful FREE event, even free food! Even the rain Friday night didn't damper this great event. Still got runs Sat. morning with Mr. Cotton taking the Buick Cup home!

Sat. afternoon brought the best of the best out for seminars and just open question's! Had everything a GN enthusiast would ever want or need to know. From Engines, Trans, Suspension, Engine Management, Turbo's. etc... As Clint said at the track, there isn't a problem in the world with a TR that couldn't' be fixed with all the knowledge there!

Mr. Clark was gracious enough to provide full access to his facility and we were all able to see a number of GNX's, GN's, T's, etc... Also had the dyno going Friday night and Saturday with a Big Screen set up so everyone could see what was going on!

Dennis Kirban and his staff came down and was a huge part of this also, big thanks to Mr. Kirban, his wife and crew. And as always, great to see Pete Hoffman! While having lunch Mr. Kirban played a game of TR Trivia, that was cool!

After lunch tons of door prizes where given away. Some very expensive and NICE parts were donated by many of the TurboBuick.com sponsors. I hope somebody posts a list of what all was given away!

I got a change to meet many members I haven't meet before, it was great to meet you all! I also got to see some great members I have meet over the years at other events etc... Nice to see you all!

Big thanks to the Turbo6 group for showing up in full force as usual. Big shot out to Cherly!!!!

Got a chance to talk with all the TurboBuick.com sponsors that were there, all gracious and fine people. It is nice to see these guys in person every so often. There was Dan from DLS, Jack Cotton, Cal Hartline, Jason Cramer RJC, Chris from CK, Juilo aka RAZOR, Paul from H&R, Mr. Dennis Kirban, and finally got to meet Harry from Precision Turbo! I thanked each one of them for supporting this board and the community in general! All of these help keep us going in these cars and making us faster. Hats off to them!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to JayC and Randy and Eric from BWR coming out and showing off our new car!

Thanks to Clint aka Sydwyndr! He put his heart into this!

Please post all your pics in this thread, I want to see them all. I was so busy talking I didn't get a chance to take one picture...


Finally, I want to thank Mr. Clark again. What a gracious host and outstanding gentleman! Thanks for everything you do for the Turbo Buick community Mr. Clark. It will not be forgotten!!!!

The event was great...!!

A big thanks to:

Vince Janis for the help on the tranny repair Fiday!! Nothing like getting dirty when on "vacation"...

Cal Hartline for the tuning on Kevin's street car Friday (443-HP @ 20.5-psi), and then on Corey's car I brought Saturday. I don't think anyone expected that out of that car from an appearance stand-point. (505-HP @ 22.5 psi).

And lastly to Richard Clark for hosting the event!! Most gracious as always!!

I just wish things didn't get shut-down the way they did Saturday night... :confused:
