GM TURBO 6 October meet update

[Sydwyndr]

Guys we hope to use this thread throught the weekend to keep everyone updated on what is going on. We had at least 70 people at RC's here tonite and was able to witness Jack and Cal workin hard on the dyno. It is good to see new faces and remember that we will be at the track at 9am to begin racing and we will run until noon. Then we will be back at the shop with all guests working hard to answer your questions. Dont forget we have everyone in every aspect of Buicks so the only stupid questions are the ones that you dont ask. I will see everyone at the track/shops over the next 2 days. Be safe everyone and good nite.

Sunday Results

Well a great time had by all has come to an end. This was the SINGLE LARGEST non-racing Turbo Buick event ever put together, we had well over 300 people on Saturday alone. We finished with a little over 100 folks to end the evening. What more could you ask for than free food, free technical advice from the best names in the business, Free track time, as well as free dyno time. With that we would like to give thanks to all who help to support the door prize giveaways and assisted with the 50/50 drawing. Someone took home $350 on Saturday and $250 on Sunday. We also had a long-distance award winners for the individuals that drove the farthest to attend in Burlington, NC

$100 3rd place prize went to:
Brett Wallace from Kaukauna, Wisconsin
1,062 Miles

$200 2nd place went to:
Austin & LaDonna Kendall from Del City, Oklahoma
1,147 Miles

$300 1st place went to:
Fred Baker & Dick Walker from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
1,160 Miles

Man I tell you what, it was REALLY great day for my bud Jack Cotton from Agawam, MA. Jack not only took home the 50/50 drawing of $250 but he ALSO was awarded the Turbo Cup. This was sponsored by ZDDPlus and had a $500 cash prize. Jack will have to defend the cup at an upcoming event in 09. He won this by being the fastest full bodied turbo v6 regal to attend the dragstrip. He ran the best of a 5.75 at 125mph to receive this award so congrats to the Cotton crew for a great showing here in NC:

And finally we would like to say thanks to the main crew that made all of this a reality for everyone.
Dennis and Eileen Kirban, Pete Hoffman, and Richard Clark

In closing I hope everyone has a safe Journey home and I think that the Oklahoma Crew might be home by Wednesday morning and I will see everyone soon in 2009.
Regards and thanks for your support:

What a great meet!!! Thanks to Richard Clark for openning this shop, feeding us and getting the dragstrip!
Clint, Cheryl, The Kirbans, Mr Hoffman and everyone else that helped organize this meet, you're all the best!

It was absolutely the best meet I've ever been to and can't wait to see what's next.

I don't have an exact figure, but I believe I dropped around $300 on the vendors. Got some really cool stuff.
