As far as I know you do not need to be a member to race or show. Sean, Alan, Yardley, or Marco can confirm this, but im 99% sure you do not. Of course, I joined when I showed up at the front gate last year and for the price its totally worth it. I know the Holiday Inn you're refering to, just hoping to get into the Host hotel for the security aspect and the fact that we'll be hanging out in their parking lot at times anyway.

What the duece??? They hold rooms for diamond members I assume??? Well I certainly feel like a second class citizen all of a sudden....
Definately not ... ... but event pricing is discounted for members. If you are going to be there racing both days and have a person or two with you spectating, membership is practically free. Last year I remember helping a few families actually save money by joining at the gate
If you are serious about camping out, there is a camp ground directly across from the track entrance road - dont know much about their rough-camping provisions (showers etc ...) but it is a definate option
this campsite is bare bones with few hookups and I did not see any showers or a dump station.. The Camping Spot 2340 National Rd. Hebron, Oh. 43025 (Right next door to track) Mail to: P.O. Box 1364 Email 740-928-0335 There is also a KOA 10 mins from the track http://www.koakampgrounds.com/campgrounds/buckeye-lake/ and another a little further away http://www.koakampgrounds.com/campgrounds/buckeye-lake/http://www.lazyriveratgranville.com/

Wow things are really shaping up for the Buick Performance Group Class of 1987 event...We have Doug Nigro from GNXRegistry.org doing a power point presentation on the GNX We also have Brad Conley's GNX prototype as well as Rick Hunts GNX and all the information he can provide as well as Luis Infante who was VP at ASC McLaren and owns the car that was used for quality control at ASC. there also some other surprises that the BPG is going after... we are trying to acquire a GNX engine on a stand from the Sloan museum,. We also have some of the engineers and production staff that were involved with the GN coming back as they had so much fun last year. We also have Lawrence Gustin who authored book on complete history of Buick and also about founders of GM. He is a genius and probably will do a presentation for us on history of Buick. He is getting me in touch with Mike Doble, head person in charge of GNX project and also David S. Sharpe, Chief Engineer of the GNX. Also Rick Hunt who has more GNX prototype and memorabilia than anyone will be there and former VP of ASC McClaren with GNX 000. Also going after Lloyd Reuss former Gen Manager of Buick and who actually became President of GM and his son is now head of N. American operations. He was Chief Engineer of Buick when GN came out as well. Also going after Bill Porter and Wayne Kady who designed the cars and Marty Schorr who wrote GNX book and was big in the <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> version. We will have Wayne Sherman to do a presentation on tech for the Turbo cars and hopefully his friend Al Tomka will attend with his 79 Turbo Coupe again and talk about his work as Rod and Piston engineer for 3.8 block.
It looks like I (we) will attend again this year :bglasses: ...and hopefully in a big boat. Can't wait.
