    First, is the gentleman that bought a lot of things, including the metal mesh bucket on here? I need a conversation with you about some parts you bought. I have more information that might be useful.

    Second, thanks to everyone that helped me disperse my late brother's hoard of Buick parts and pieces. His widow will be grateful that she can reclaim her basement.

    Finally, I thought the swap meet area was a pretty good turnout despite TA Performance not showing up. I'm glad CARS showed up. They always have the stuff you need. Todd Miller also had a nice display of his kits.

    It was a good turnout of vendors. Not sure how I missed you as I took a swing through on Friday.

    I was selling off the maroon Honda truck beside John Osborne. The Buick historical tent was 30 feet to my left if facing the circle track.

    We had logistics issue Friday. I didn't arrive until about 11AM on Friday. We had to drive to Leitchfield (hometown, an hour away) to load up as much stuff as a Honda Ridgeline would hold and drive back to Bowling Green. We left BG at 7AM but still took quite a while to figure out what to load.

    Saturday, we started 90 minutes earlier on our drive to Leitchfield and got to the track before 10AM. The rear tires were bowed out and the bed was full with three 455 blocks, a 4.1 block, two cranks, six 455 heads, a 10-bolt housing and everything we could cram in the nooks and crannies of the bed.

    To answer the unasked question: We couldn't go over the night before as I didn't have a key to the house and the guy that did was out of town both nights so he could only meet us early in the mornings.

    l remember seeing and checking out the parts in the Honda truck.
    Someone captured a picture of me (standing on the left) talking to Danny (setting in the chair). John is standing to the right of Danny.

    Yep, we had a little time to talk. You were telling of your trip where you came home and left again on a plane before supper was ready. LOL

    This is an official THANK YOU GREG for getting that box from Summit delivered to your house and getting it to the Nationals for me. Thanks again. Mike

    No worries. Being a local should have some value to the cause.
