    I wasn't really sure where to post this. Any moderators feel free to move to a different location if desired.

    I received an invitation from Olds Club President and BCA member as below.

    The Oldsmobile Club of America will be hosting its 2012 National Meet in Des Moines, Iowa from 4 July to 7 July. The event will take place in the Iowa Events Center - which will be our first indoor national meet. We are expecting between 400 and 500 cars for the show along with the requisite swap meet, activities, and events.[/FONT]


    [FONT=&quot]While there may not be much interest in the show (Buicks are not invited), we want to let you know that we will be hosting a race at Eddyville Raceway Park in Eddyville, Iowa (and Buicks will be invited). This is a 1/8 mile drag strip located approximately 60 miles southeast of Des Moines. The track is sanctioned by NHRA and has some excellent support facilities. [The facility reminds me of Field of Dreams with a drag strip.] For more information about the track, you can go to the following link:[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]If anyone is interested in seeing the facility, there are a number of YouTube videos of the activities - the following link provides access to a number of videos:[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]We have reserved the track for Friday, 6 July and want to invite some Buicks to join us. We have a lot of 442s that are looking for Buicks (including but not limited to GSs, GSXs, and GNs) that would like to share in an evening of competition. I wanted to ask: "Are there any Buick racers that would like to join us in Iowa?"[/FONT]

    OK Jerry was much more polite than me with my thread title, sorry Olds guys. For those that are interested you can PM and I will get you Jerry's email and phone, or check your BCA Roster (if you are a BCA member) for his info or visit their website http://www.oldsclub.org/
