TurboNova Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 interested in expected car count as well.. I will most likely drag my junk out there for some testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Here's the flier for the event from the BPG site. Anthony/Tina. Will this be straight all day test and tune or will there be brackets and things like that? On their flier it says it's $60 non-member? Is that.. member of CR or BPG? I'm assuming we'd just tell them we're part of CR? http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/BPGeventFlier2014_zpsc53f9274.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Expected count is 200+ cars racing throughout the weekend, us included. The $40 is for CR, tell them at the gate. The racing is a mixture of TnT (all day, at least one lane) and bracket eliminations. There will be Buick PG specific, CR specific, and Buick PG/CR racing available.

gbsean Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) There are different prices for "Buick" members and non members as they are racing for prizes and trophies...Just tell the People at registration tent you are with Columbus Racing and tell them either race or spectator. The reason for the expense is the BPG also has to provide track insurance to the tune of $2800. Saturday you should 200 plus cars. Nothing compared to the Mopar Event but we are just Buicks.

gbsean Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 We will also have a swap area and a vendors area if anyone want to sell their used parts and vend at the event. If you all want to pit together please let me know so I can reserve you some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Sean, a reserved pit area would be great. I also have a set of '87 GN wheels and taillights for sale, where would I put these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawboy1647545515 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks to everyone who put this together, it's a very affordable way to get out and get some track time in and see some big bad Buicks at the same time. Should be a great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
