Cash anyone??

There will be some cash prizes given away at the event in October... The 3 people who drive from the farthest distance will be given a "LONG HAUL" cash award. The car can be ANY VEHICLE and does not have to be a regal. We will also have a 50/50 drawing as well for 1 lucky winner. For those that did not attend earlier this year I can tell you that you have not been to any event like this one, you can ask anyone that was in attendance earlier this year and they would agree. We have assembled the most knowledgeable group of buick enthusiasts to answer any questions you may have about the Turbo Regal. The amount of knowledge would rival ANY tech session that you have ever attended anywhere. So if you are thinking about buying a TR then please feel free to come and ask questions. We are expecting the attendance to be in the 200-400 range and I promise you won't be disappointed. There is already a war:D that will be decided at Piedmont Dragway and we have a surprize in store for the fastest V6 powered regal at the track on friday nite. I wish everyone well and will see you in October.

BTW, if you have never seen a 5 MILE GNX still wrapped in plastic and one with a FACTORY ASC SUNROOF then be sure not to forget your camera:cool:
 
If I ride my bicycle from Garner to Burlington, can I have an award?
 
The member from Canada is probably leading so far!

Mr. Clark never ceases to amaze me:biggrin:
