Ae you going to let Cnadians in????..:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[dukec]

Tom

We will let anyone in who has a Buick! Even you guys from up North! We usually have a few Canadians show up - so it would be great if more came down. It is not that far - remember you are driving Buicks.

We could park your '68 next to my '68.

Hope you will come down and bring some of your buddies.:beers2:

[fishboy003]

Lets see how things go.....Cole in Kamloops also has a 68.....................Road trip anyone.???

Test & Tune runs & culling some of the pack, They are expecting about 500 cars to show up, They need to weed it down to about 300 or so.


YOuguys going to make the Puyallup show this year?
Tammie shipped me a newsletter last year before the show with the fliers. Ended up taking 3rd with my 72

[Mr62Buick]

I think that if they are going to have a limit of 300 vehicles, they should start with a pre-computer years only. Maybe 1972 and older. I just walk right on by when I go to a auto/classic car show and see 1978 Cadillacs or 1973 Ford Fairlanes or even a Buick GN. Sorry, just need to show that real classic cars need to show up instead of filling up spaces with 1998 Riviera's and such.

We are talking about racing its open to all race cars including pros, NOT classic cars, I am sure you will see alot of classic cars racing & trying to be in the top 16.

I think there might be some confusion Iroczlover and I got off on a little bit of a side conversation about pinks all out tv show at pacific raceways on the post about the portland car show which is the same weekend.Im sure dukec can answer any questions about the Portland car show as this is his post.

[dukec]

Gee talk about getting off track - no pun intended!!

No racing at the Portland BCA show - also no limit on number of cars.

All Buicks welcome - All years welcome.

If there is enough interest we may have special parking for Buick street rods and we of course will have special parking for '68 GS converts.:beer

Maybe we could have a special parking spot for V8 Buick cars??

This will be a great show at a great new venue - Pearson Air Museum in Vancouver, WA. 50 miles closer to Seattle - so you don't have to drive as far.

Hope to see everyone there!

Let me know if you have questions. I will post an registration form as soon as it is out.

[1969GS350]

Duke,

That is a great venue for a show! Thanks for snagging it. I used to be part of the Fort Vancouver Pipe Band and we used to practice in the hangar every Thursday night. Cool old buildings, cool old planes, cool old trees...it's just a cool spot! And the best part, it's only fifteen minutes from my house in Orchards! We'll see you guys there...and if a major miracle occurs I might even arrive by Buick (but let's not get ahead of ourselves).

[dukec]

George

Why don't you come and hang out at some of the chapter meetings? I'd love to have another local "stepchild" present. We have some really fun things planned for the year.:TU:

[bullisbm]

And maybe my work schedule will actually allow me to make some of the meetings this year Duke!

[whamo]

Hey Duke, I would be interested in attending a club meeting if I'm in town. Let me know when your having your next. I hope I can make the show at Pearson as well, I could park next to your car to make it look even more spectacular:laugh:

[dukec]

We would like to see both of you guys at any and all of our events.

Bret - you should try to make it to the Feb event. Watch for the newsletter in the next couple of days.

Steve - pm me your email addy & I will get you added to our newsletter list. I hope you can come to some of our events. Is it cold in DH? The way it's been down here for the last month, I think I'm up there. Cold & snowy - keep it in AK.

Its a little cold...... only 36 below zero.

Being a California boy, something I've always wondered ...how and why do people live in minus 36 degeees below zero weather?

Ah, I see. I guess that might motivate me too. Maybe I should check it out. After all, I've already traded the California sunshine for the gloom of the Great Pacific Northwest, so I'm already half-way to Alaska I guess.

[VandaLL]

yeah but you also traded a ridiculous government, asinine laws and a $40B deficit so i would say you traded way up :pp

count me in for this show! hopefully my 72 will be show-worthy by then. :TU:

[dukec]

The registration form will be ready in the next couple of weeks, I will post a link.

We are working on a surprise for this show that will be truly unique. Watch here for more details.

:TU:

[dmfconsult]

I'd like to attend this one as well as I'm going to miss the BCA show in Puyallup. Sounds like a great venue! Anybody have hotel info for the area?

[dukec]

Here is the hotel list close to our show.

Recommended hotels:
Holiday Inn Express, Jantzen Beach 360-576-1040 (Mention Buick event to get special Holiday Inn rate)

Hilton Hotel, downtown Vancouver 360-993-4500


Hope to see you there.

Pre-reg. form will be out soon.

[red67wildcat]

Ill pass the hotel list along to Puget Sound chapter members

[Iroczlover]

OFF TOPIC AGAIN. Sorry guys I cant make it.
I made it in to PINKS ALL OUT in seattle. so I will be at the track all weekend racing.

[1967GS340]

When the pre-registration forms are out maybe you could scan and save as a PDF that you could post here. It could save you the trouble of emailing it to everyone who asks. I am planning on trying to make it if it's not the same weekend as the rod run to the end of the world in Ocean Park. Sorry, but I've been going to that for 20 years and there are a bunch of hot rod buddies that I only get to see one or two times a year at the show. That and the Hoquiam Pushrods show are the only two that I can't miss, (well and maybe the local one).

[dukec]

Finally!!!:3gears:

Here is the registration form and flyer for the Portland Chapter ALL BUICK SHOW - Vancouver, WA August 16th.

[dukec]

tt

Going to be a great show!!

[dukec]

Have you registered yet?

Great fun - Buicks and antique airplanes and museums and a short tour.

OH did I mention Buicks???:laugh:

[dukec]

Any interest in a special V8 Buick parking section?
Who is planning to attend?

Let me know so I can make it happen.
:beers2:

[1967GS340]

I am planning on being there! If someone doesn't buy my car without me having a chance to replace it in time.
I would like to see a V8Buick parking section. Nice to make sure that you get to talk to the guys from the board.
I loved the Puyallup show and getting to see everyone.
I would like to see the V8 section not be too far from the porta johns for the sake of my wife!

[dukec]

David

You're the first - are you pre-registered yet? Looking forward to meeting you as I didn't get the chance at Puyallup.

Anyone else want to see a V8 Buick section?

:Do No:

[bullisbm]

Duke,

It is looking like I should be able to make it. I am not going to pre-reg because things in my job can change to quick. Save a spot for me.

[cjp69]

I am planning on coming down Duke, as long as my wife doesn't have a race that day. A v8 buick section is fine with me if there are enough people that want to park in it, I can even wear my v8buick t-shirt. :>)

I am hoping to see some cars that I haven't seen before.

[whamo]

Hey Duke, I am going to see if I can take a little extra time off to attend. Hopefully I can make it.

[garys64wildcat]

Dukec,
Thank You for the form. I plan to be there barring any unforseen problems:pray: I will know before 8/1. I`m looking forward to meeting some of you guys in Oregon that are into Buicks. v8 section sounds good

[1967GS340]

I'm not registered yet. I will be there though. If I had issues and couldn't get the car there I would come as a spectator. It's going to take something pretty big to keep me away from this show!

Looking forward to seeing you, any other board members, new people, all those beautiful cars, and the air museum!

[whamo]

I'm taking some extra time off work, so I'll be there. I'll preregister.

[1967GS340]

With a little luck I'll be there in a black 64 Skylark. No one will know who I am without the silver 67!

Any word on a V8 board section?

[dukec]

At this point there have only been a couple people who said they were interested.

I won't go to the trouble for a couple - but if we get 8 or more, I think I can get it done.

Who's coming and wants to be in a V8 special parking location?
