the organizers of the hot rod reunion are from a Pontiac club in the area and a few shots have been "fired across the bows" already in regards to the Buicks and Pontiac sharing the same "turf" on Sunday..there is a "street legal"(Garrison style) G.T.O coming that could get into the 9's. are you listening Mike G. ? and also a there is a chance of a 2nd generation camaro coming from Colorado that uses a BUNCH of NOS and is gonna get into the 8"s this year in the thin air of Denver. i am thinking mid 8's outa him at Kearney and he would love to do a little "grudge racing" instead of joining the regualar field.
PERHAPS John Schmidt or Rod Hendrickson could be persuaded to attend and learn him a thing or 2 about Buicks. if anyone would be interested in doing a little "match racing" with these guys let me know and i will get a deal worked up with the track for a 2 outa 3 deal or something Just make sure you try and bring enough for these guys.(or at least enough to keep it close for them, ).
