Well at this point, I wouldn't hold my breath about a strong buick attendance this year. I've talked to everyone I know with a fast buick and they are either going to the GS Nationals instead of the shootout or they just aren't interested in the rivalry anymore. It's really too bad but more and more people are just putting our cars away for value reasons I'm guessing. Forget all the GS guys from showing up. I've posted till I was blue in the face begging them to bring some of their cars but they would rather race Buick on Buick. Bunch a cowards if you ask me. They won't even reply to my posts on their websites. I guess if we get smoked from lack of cars then maybe we should entertain the idea already mentioned of it being All GM vs Ford. Of course less Buicks would attend but so be it. Its not fair to the Ford camp to bring 60 cars total to their 90 plus. They want Competition! Prove me wrong boys, I'll be there with my car going for broke.
