Well remember that next month is the Texas Buick Nationals so if you want to cone down for some fun bring the Apollo and do some racing.

Glad to see you are coming to the event. Looks like you have a car that will run with the faster Fords.

Please send me a PM with your real name and your state.

Thanks.

TX John Bottkol will be there! I drew Blake last year, need some 9 and 10 second Buicks out there to put the Fords in their place guys! We had a lot of Buick power there but just not enough in the 10 second or lower range..

TVRP may be switching to drag boat racing for a short while. The nearby river spilled out of its banks in spectacular fashion. Hopefully there was not any significant damage to the facility and equipment.

Hope it clears up by the weekend. It's been a nonstop hosing down here for two months!

Maybe we should turn it into a fishing tournament Carl.

Wow. If that doesn't recede quickly the track could be done for some time

Damn I hope Little River Dragway doesn't look like this but I got feeling it's Big River now. 60% chance of rain on the 30th for the TX Buick Nats.

Noble has until Sept. to dry out that should be plenty of time... I hope.

Good2win22 posted a pic of little river on another site and it looks like the river got on part of the shut down area. Might want to call and see what's happened to the track David.

I spoke with Kirk this morning. We'll make the decision on Thursday.

We made some passes last night at Thunder Valley on our small tires. Track is as good as it has ever been, you would never know it was under water if you didnt see it a few days before.

Put me on the list, we plan to show up, hopefully with the Pumpkin and the LS powered Grand Prix...

Thanks, Jack. Glad to see you will be bringing some of your cars to Noble to support team Buick.

Noble event is 3 1/2 months away so we all need to make sure Team Buick is ready to win the event this year.

The Pontiac is my son Brian's car. We are also working on bringing several customers and friends out with us... trying to get more 9-10 second cars..

Right on! That is great news for this event. That would definitely make it more interesting for the Buick side.

Carl: Are you going to bring your GN this year? I recall that you had it running like a scalded ape several years ago.

It will be the Supercharged Caddy I bet.

I had one of those jump me in my C5 and he did out distance it. Hope I can find him again when I'm driving the GN.
