Anthony, can you email me or message me please? I want to include a little expose on CR.com in the next issue of the Build Sheet and need to gather info and pics. This will be the only issue that will go out before the event so I want to make sure our members are aware that CR.com will be joining us.

Hi everyone. I am on the Board of Directors for the BPG and I am the editor of our quarterly newsmagazine, The Build Sheet. Sean has moved the BPG in a direction that is mush more open with reference to "doing what the club wants" (and sometimes needs). We love Buicks, of course, but we also just love cars in general and the PEOPLE who love cars. One of our oldest members acquired a 1964 (I think) Pontiac Bonneville or Catalina wagon. Originally owned by a Pontiac exec, it has Buckets, console, and a 421SD. If you consider yourself a car person, yet don't think that is a cool piece of automotive history, you should reconsider what you think is cool. We love it! We also love wagons, coupes and convertibles. Stock, slammed, custom or raced. So come on out to the BPG Nationals and show us your ride! I own a 4500 lb 1969 Riviera that runs consistent 12.90's on the east coast. I drive it 9 hours to Ohio every year and beat the snot out of it! What is funny, is so MANY of our Buick family actually drive their cars to Ohio. We're sick, I know. But we have fun! We run a tight race program, but we also are very loose with respect to just hanging out. Join us at NTR the 1st weekend in August and have a blast!

Thank you. As soon as I am allowed to peruse your site I will talk with Anthony. Cecil is dead flat, but it is actually BELOW sea level, and in the autumn air we can get mine shaft conditions. Sometimes cold and dry air with a tail wind. Everyone will always run their best times there. You should come out in September when we do the track rental there. It is an open day but the Buicks have their own race side-program and car show. I run consistent 12.90's at Atco, but again, we are spoiled with tracks 100 to 200 feet above seal level. Not sure if you all know it or not, but the BPG is having a car show/BBQ/Band jam on the Friday before the Nationals at our host hotel, the Metropolitan in downtown Newark. The hotel does the BBQ - great food and the prices are OK. We have plenty of cars in the lot with the hoods up, endless beer and slushies and a local Cincy band called Northside Garage. The bass player is a club member. It is a real riot of a night and the shenanigans go til the wee hours. Come on out to the hotel and have fun on Friday August 1st! Bring all your friends, then bring them all to the track on Saturday!

Hi CR Gang. I am the editor of the BPG Build Sheet, and also sit on the Board of Directors. I am so looking forward to meeting you this August and doing some racing! I have a '69 Riviera that ran 12.87 last September at Cecil County, MD. I am consistently .5 seconds slower out there in Ohio with the elevation and humidity, but I still run it as much as I can. For the next issue of The Build Sheet, which is the only one that will go out before the Nationals, I'd like to include some information and a couple of pics about ColumbusRacing.com. Can somebody give me some background and some other pertinent info about your club? You will find that the BPG is an "open arms" club. While we are a Buick club, many members own other marques as well and we actively help each other in the pits then line up against each other for the money. We've done engine swaps in the pits to two street cars that were unlucky enough to blow up on the way to Columbus on separate occasions. We pull together and party hard and play hard, Hope to see many of you at NTR in August! Yardley Check out my ride: http://www.1badriv.com
