Check Google for Belton MO location. It is actually on mainstreet in downtown Belton. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&q=Belton+Mo&fb=1&gl=us&ei=slvzS6F2kPzMBIr7qMAD&ved=0CBcQpQY&view=map&geocode=FTE5UAIdxo5d-g&split=0&sll=38.815007,-94.540535&sspn=0.062386,0.101007&iwloc=A&sa=X

Also check http://mainstreetbelton.com/South71CruisersCarClub.htm.

What time are folks thinking of showing up?

Josh, I won't be there on the 22nd, but if you can make it, look up Mark (GSXNUT) or some of the other guys that have posted here. You can't miss that retina frying yellow GSX Mark drives. I rode along with him to the Goodguys meet at Kansas Speedway a couple of years ago, had a great time.
Take some pictures of the Buicks there and post them here on the board so I can see what I missed! Later, Randy

Hey Josh, this is Brad with the Grand National. I was trying to get a hold of you guys and see what car shows you were going to be attending this year. I tried to get a hold of Brandy too but apparently she doesn't have an email at the school. LOL I saw this post about something this weekend and if it's nice, I might be interested in going. Let me know if you all are doing anything. Shoot me an email or PM if you want to. Take care,
Brad

Hi KC area V8 guys,

I will be at Belton, I know from past years we need to be there early to park together. Can anyone meet around 4-4:30 at the Target parking lot south end near the Long John Silvers/ A&W???

The Belton cruise can draw over 300 cars and is seven blocks long one of the biggest in KC. Last year only 5 or so Buicks would come, its a dream of mine to have a BUICKS TO BELTON event this year!!

Thanks to all that can make it,

Ricky

Hopefully everyone can stick around for a while. I do not think we will be able to make it until about 6:30.

The Target is fairly easy to find. It it on the north side of 58 Highway heading west after exiting 71. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Long+John+Silver%27s&sll=38.814054,-94.521491&sspn=0.042735,0.076046&ie=UTF8&hq=Long+John+Silver%27s&hnear=&ll=38.813718,-94.515425&spn=0,0.076046&t=h&z=14&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=38.813734,-94.515719&panoid=f7JFyDcrrJ-GiXkJR7faIw&cbp=12,16.55,,0,1
I plan to be there around 4-4:15.

Mark, if you still have the same cell number. I could call you around 6:15 and tell you our location at the cruise. So it would be easier to find us.

Can't wait to see all the Buicks!!

gsxnut

05-21-2010, 11:25 PM

I still have the same number. It will be good to meet some more Buick folks. We seem to fairly few and far between.

Well I thought the first Buicks to Belton was a success Rick, Mark M, Josh, Mark P, Myself, Brad, and several other Buicks had a good showing at the Belton Cruise!!

It was great to finally meet everyone and we should get toghether again.

Note if anyone heard reports of a yellow GSX and a Flame Orange Stage 1 racing all out on Interstate 435... it was just a coincidence!!

Note- Mark started it...

Sounds like Mark and Mike's drive home was more exciting than mine! Driving 40 miles with barely functional headlights is no picnic. It was really nice to meet everyone and I was proud to be part of Buicks to Belton. We'll have to try to get together again soon.

Check out some of the pics my daughter took last night.

I know my wife and I had a great time. We got there a little late but it was still a lot of fun. I was happy to meet everyone. I think Mike got th better of us more often then not but it was very very close to evenly match. I don't know that either of us pulled on the other too much. We will have to get together again sometime this Summer.

Mark

Whoever got the jump won, neither car could close on the other. You could say that Mark had a disadvantage with two people in his car, but I weigh as much as them combined...LOL!

first time to the Belton event and there were 100's of cars there, and it was nice talking to folks that have lot's of Buick knowlege and history.
