you need to have the quick 8 program at norwalk,these are the QUICKEST buicks in the world.run them heads up .4 pro tree!! let people see just how fast these monsters can go.and last but not least PAY them some REAL money as the cost of racing these cars is MIND BOGLING.

BOBBY DON, have you ever been to Buick Race Day in Norwalk, OH?? We have been sponsoring the TSO (Turbo Street Outlaw) class since they were invented some years, 5 or so!
 
Bobby Don raced TSO in Norwalk in 2007 and will hopefully be back in 2009. The pic on our T-shirts in 2008 was Bobby Don's car at Norwalk in 2007. I have the dates marked and look forward to being there in 2009. Thanks for all your support!

I will be there for sure this year. The in-laws live in Toledo area:) How you been Bobby long time no see.
 
hey tony! good to hear from you dude.congrats on the street car shootout record in st.louis.sounds like you got the ole buick cookin pretty good.
were working on both my cars right now."CATEGORY 6" is getting new cage,goining to fast for the old one.also some new stuff that i can't mention here,if you know what i mean.
the tso car is also goining through some big changes,again can;t talk about them in here.spending my childrens inheritance.(smile)
i hate the winter,already wanting to get in those race cars!
well thats it for now tony,take care, GO FAST &KEEP IT OFF THE WALLS ok?
your friend,

bobby don (the ole man with the slo buicks)
 
I hope to build another GN or buy a Car already built :) over the winter. I have the need for speed myself!! Winter as not even started yet. I will be going somewhere nice this winter with the car. I will never get enough driving time.

That means the fastest BUICK powered cars still have to stay home!! How about dragsters/altereds get a .5 handicap. Protree comes on , you can get a .000 green and we would have to be .500 to be green?? That puts you at a .5 tenths spot. Just a thought!! Let the beating begin!! Mike:cool:
 
Bobby, this is some exiting news you are coming back to race TSO. I enjoyed our little sit down at Columbus and had a great time with Brad T at Osceola. Looking forward to seeing both of you at Norwalk. I would like to run TSO and quick 8 if possible but I know with the time restraints it will be very unlikely.

Don has always been generous with sponsorship to TSO and he is a asset to the class for those who don't know him he is a great example of going fast with class.

it will be the same format as the big gun at bowling green.

Need tires from Harlow at Norwalk>

Anybody that needs new racing tires and expects to pickup at Norwalk from Harlow, please order them in the next couple of weeks before Buick Raceday, due to the Memorial Day weekend before BRD, they lose a day in shipping and I was harassed by the Harlow folks, "You Buick People always wait to the last minute" Cause I did last year and supposedly several others. Here's their link:
Harlow Racing Inc.
Thanks!
