Hopefully by now everyone realizes that the 2014 BCA National Meet is being held in Portland, OR. Who's coming? Are you driving your car? When are you getting to town? This is the absolute best time of year to visit the Portland area. Warm temperatures - 80 / 90 degrees, light breezes, low humidity, many local micro-brews. I plan to be there all 4 days doing various volunteer activities as well as judging the show. I also will be participating in many of the activities including the Wednesday cruise-in - a fun event where there can be more than 1000 cars on any given night. Please let me know if you have any questions about the local area, hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. It is my understanding that the host hotel is sold out. Looking forward to seeing & visiting with as many V8Buick.com members as possible.
I'll be there. Planned a visit to the grandkids, with a day at the BCA Nats as well. Wish it could have been longer.
Hay Duke... I'll be there with both cars and ?... I too will be volunteering for various positions and all around grunt work as long as I get my deputy tag! If you guys haven't been to the "Beaches" cruise-in at Portland International Raceway on Wednesday nights in the summer...it's an opportunity to see 1000 to 1200 cars and lots of motorcycles (mostly Harleys D's). Plus there is drag racing 1/8mile from everything to snowmobiles to muscle cars to new stuff like Mustangs Corvettes, Camaros, Challengers, Vipers etc. even a Buick Big Block or two! Should be a great time getting together with all the Buick buddies. See you there... Maybe we will see a 70 Stage 1 GS 4-speed convertible or two...who knows? Buick Eric / Oregon :3gears:
Duke if I in Portland I plan on being there ! I will know more as the date gets closer . I drive in and out of Portland and Seattle all summer long ! :Brow::TU:
I'll be there with my '59 Electra and '96 Riviera. I''ll be leading the 1959 Division's driving tour on Wednesday, and I'm on Mark Shaw's list to help with parking on Thursday and Friday. Really looking forward to being there with all my Buick friends!
Looking forward to seeing all you guys. Be sure to look me up! Brian are you going to the NW chapters picnic tomorrow? If so I will see you there.
I'm in.. I'll be driving what ever Enterprise gives me... A few days at the Beach, and Multnomah falls hiking ..:TU: DL
Hi DL... Looking forward to seeing you again in my town this time and sharing notes!... Buick Eric / Oregon :3gears:
And Duke pointed out to me to let you NW guys know that you can't just show up and gain entrance to this BCA event like we do at our local Buick events. You must pre-register with the form provided by the Buick Club of America. Go to their site and print it out and get it submitted as the event is only about 8 weeks away! Buick Eric / Oregon :3gears:
