BUICKS @ Niftee500es Sept. 24, 2016

[86TexasT]

I talked to Randy Shannon last night, We set a date Saturday September 24th for the Buicks @ Niftee50ees Car Show, including : Grand Nationals, Turbo Regals, Turbo Trans Ams, or any Buick powered vehicle. I will get there early to set up, we will have 2 rows reserved for us . . V8 cars on 1, Turbo cars on other. I will bring cold bottled water. Weather should be cooler. There is an admission fee $ 10 ( I think) . . this covers Insurance & security. Come out & join us if you can. You have plenty of notice, no excuses. . . - Robert Mahnke

David...are you serious? At least I could see you again, since PowerTour didn't go the way I had planned.
Anyway..I will be there! I think there was 13 TR's last time. and many other Buick powered cars.
Jerryl / ChuckD /GBGN1 (bring that 3800 car)/ come on down!! As Robert said...you got plenty of notice!

 

[fast86gn]

Yeah I'm serious sounds like fun. I'll see if I can't get a few guys to come with me?

 

[JAMCAR223]

That would be cool. Out-of-towners at a local street meet, outstanding! On a nice night, there will be 200+ cars.

David, That would be great to see you guys, come on down.

For those of you that have not seen the "block party" table (last pic), its a Buick v6 engine block with (6) wine bottles inserted in the cylinder holes to support a glass table top. Its actually so simple, but so cool, especially at a car show setting.

Might want to check their website. They lost the contract on the parking lot where the show was held a few days ago. I belive they are looking for a new venue.

 

[JAMCAR223]

If thats the case, Randy Shannon(, the promoter) and Robert Mahnke ( the ex- Buiuck club Pres.) will be posting a new location asap. No worries here, Niftee 50's has a huge membership following for years.

I got the message today from Randy, he is looking for other options, I am checking for a backup plan also, have guys from Dallas coming down, wanna keep it on the north side of town, suppose to be a gathering @ a Lowes on 1960 near 529. I WILL RESPOND WITH DECISION ASAP. - ROBERT
