Buick scene in Jacksonville

[trbochV6]

I am finally getting out of the military and was wondering how is the Buick scene in or around Jacksonville?

i lived there for past 4 years and there are a few hard core guys, who like to go to the track and other major buick events, there is a BOP club that i think still gets together once and a while too, at one time i attempted to see if a turbo club was possible but i didnt get a feel from a lot of the TR guys that they were interested....orlando seems to have a way tighter group...but enjoy jax, i have sinced moved back to pensacola

Hey Fred, you'll have to get on IRC and talk..haven't I seen you on there before?

There are a bunch of us around the Jax area, or in Orange Park/Middleburg. There's a BOP club that is more or less plugging along; web site is www.boldcitybop.org. Drop me a line when you're coming back to Jax; we'll put you to work on somebody's car.

Which track to you go to? Jax raceway is a 1/8 track, right? Thats the bad thing about leaving El Paso. The race scene is crazy here. Right now I am a member of a car club that has the fastest street cars in town. Im talking lo 9s. Im debating on trying to make a Jax chapter of the club. Any ideas??
Hey Kendall, I talked to you probably about 2 years ago. I really need someone who knows how to tune this damn thing. Ill defenetly get ahold of you when I get there which will be around the beginning of October. Later on..

I'm still here,Hopefully I will be getting my sorry butt outta the garage and back out in public .Been doing a lot of home improvement stuff and a jeep projects the last few months.hopefully this winter will liven things up a little for the racing/tuning and cruising scene.

I've been out of the scene for alittle bit. But I'm still here. I was gonna get the car painted by a friend, but that fell through. So I gotta put some parts back on the car. Sad thing is, I was gonna work on it this weekend, but because of the storms, I probably won't get to it.

Buicks are becoming rare in Jax, but there are a few people such as myself that drive their TR daily. By the way I heard Jax raceway is closing at the end of the year. Good luck on your move.

 

[Addicted2boost]

They are all getting rare because they all eventually get stolen.

I'm still here......my schedule is a lot more hectic now but i usually can find time for the Buick.

Rob,

several of us from OP drove out to the beaches cruise-in last weekend..got there and you had apparently already left. I might trailer mine out just for the heck of it next weekend if the weather's nice. It's not running under its' own power yet but it at least looks like a car again. Give me a call if you want, 272-8661.

Hey Kendall, Sorry I missed you guys. I had made plans earlier in Aug. to go to The Comedy Club with some friends not knowing if I would even have the GNX by then or not. The shippers got it here real fast. I would have called you, but I didn't know if I was even gonna go up there or not. The weather looked good so I blasted up there real quick 5:15-6:15. Try to make the FCCC show if you can. Rob. 509-5095.

Welcome Fred.
It's been a while since we all got together. Anyone planning on the OP cruise this Sat? Maybe we should have a cookout again.

Scott

BTW, Happy B-Day Kendall.
