Guys,

This is some of the best headsup Buick racing in the Country.

Shootout information here: http://www.okbuicks.com/shootoutflyer 2007.pdf

It's that time of the year again to find out who are the "players" and who are the "posers" at the drag strip. The Fords are up 7 to 5 of the first 12 years of this event. It is time to get even.

We need all Buicks to show up! Let me make this clear! It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you think your car is. If it’ll make it down the track, I bet that there will be a Ford on the other end to be beaten. You don’t have to risk beating up your car to make a difference in this team event. We were beat last year because we did not have 9 cars to cover the 9 - 14 sec and SLOWER Fords that didn't have a buick to race. The same point system counts towards a win for a 8 second car as for a 13 second car.

Anyone on the bubble about going, please get with me directly - email me at jnguyensmu@gmail.com or call me at 817-706-8658 in the later evenings.

HERE is the list of racers from last year and new racers this year that already commited. I look forward to adding YOU to this list.

Thanks,
John Nguyen

Go to this link to download video from the 1998 Shootout. It's about 220mb big though! and in MP4 format.

You can play it using Apple's Quicktime or any MP4 player
 
im planning on making it there this year... for sure

Do you know if you have a RV if you camp out at the track over night??
 
John,

I'm bringing two cars...a ford and a buick....Mark Wallace is gonna drive my buick...11 sec car...
 
Sweet I can't wait!!! Last year was fun met some cool folks.Wish my GN was ready but not anytime soon.Gonna have to bust out the Lightning.;)
 
what's stopping you from bringing the GN?

Dont' really care for you racing for Team Ford!

Buicks need a win this year.

You know I'm in San Antonio now? Maybe I can help.

I think it's OK, you just have to ask the track owner for permission. I know Art Freeman did that a couple years ago.
HTH
MIke.
 
Yep.. generally, they plan on us testing and tuning Friday night and leaving our stuff there if we want.

John
 
ill be there with my car and hopefully my dad will be bringing his. Both will be tetering on the 10-11 sec range. Hope to get a couple of wins for the buicks.
 
Well Dad came home today and said he couldn't get off work so it looks like I will be coming alone. Still hope to have a great time. Will leave about 2AM Saturday and should be there at opening time.
 
John,I am trying my best to get the GN ready.

Chris is welding my downpipe this week,and by this weekend I will have both stop and go. The rest is minor button up work.

I plan on taking off the week before Noble to make sure it can make some strong passes for the shootout.

If all goes well,maybe I can add myself to that list of single digit racers!
