Just saw this .... AUGUST 15, 2019 THE 1970 BUICK GSX REUNION "Come on Baby Light My Fire" -- Jim Morrison of The Doors* A special Reunion at the 40th Annual Buick GS Nationals at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, KY on Oct. 21-24, 2020 GS Club of America Founder and GS Nationals Director Richard Lasseter along with veteran GSCA member Roberta Vasilow, owner of 1970 GSX # 14, both proudly invite all owners of 1970-72 Buick GSX's to celebrate its 50th Silver Anniversary at the 40th annual GS Nationals. The actual Car Show date is Friday, October 23. We'd greatly appreciate your assistance with this communication via your publication(s) and also extend the invitation for you to attend. This will only be done once in our lifetime. GSX's in attendance will include everything from all-originals with their 50 years of patina to full Concours 400 point restorations … and everything in between. Many of these same cars, along with hundreds of other Buicks, will be racing on Beech Bend's drag strip throughout this event, per the usual venue at the Buick GS Nationals.

So the reunion will only be in Bowling Green and NOT in Strongsville Ohio in July of 2020 ??? I know there was talk of both places . I'm in for both .
My GSX attended the very first Nats and it will attend this one as well. Better get started on that resto...
I don’t know about the 2020 BCA reunion that was being contemplated ... maybe Roberta can comment on that? GSCA Nats seems like a great place for such an event!
It is my understanding that there will be two, one at the 2020 BCA event in Strongsville, Oh and another at the GSCA in October.
Thanks Brad . Ohio is closer to me but by next year I would have time for both . If I'm still living !
It will be in 2020 in Bowling Green, we can maybe do a "mini" one in Strongsville, but there was some concern about overwhelming the parking there.
I'm going to talk to a local fella with a one owner 71 350 4speed X in cortez gold tomorrow,..car hasnt seen sunlight since the late 70's real early 80's. Gonna try to get him on board to let me get it up and going and bring it I will have my 70 Apollo stage 1 auto in attendance as well,...as mentioned a once and a lifetime opportunity
So, I know several guys around Atlanta that have GSX’s that probably are not in the registry. I know a guy here in Sarasota that has one as well, and a guy in Michigan who has owned his 70 yellow car since 1976 . I’ve made contact with them and I am trying to get all of these cars to the reunion. There’s one here in Sarasota as well that I’m trying to shake out of the bushes. We’ll see how many I can get to respond to the call. David Mcintosh has his record holding “GSX“ race car still. This record holding “GSX” and its owner needs to be at the reunion this year. I’m doing my best to persuade these guys to join us! I think the best thing we can do is to encourage everybody that we know who owns a GSX to get their car to this reunion!
Plan on being there. Hopefully they will have a survivor class. Bought mine from the original owner back in the mid 80's. Came from a local dealership. Got all the paperwork with the car.
I will be at the GSX 50th Anniversary event in Bowling Green. I hope every owner plans to attend. The last time this happened was 10 years ago and I would venture to say it will be a long time if ever when another one is done. The event at the GSCA Nationals will be the event to attend if you own a GSX. Don't plan to come and see everyone else's car. Plan to bring yours to the event no matter what the condition.
