Your the Buick guy, so I guess I made a mistake. We will just say Buick 1968 GS..

Brian,

No harm, no foul intended. It looks like you have put together a fantastic line up of cars from all manufactures. Buicks were always the "Bastard Stepchild" even back in the day & NEVER got the respect they were due. I surely never did with mine @ Lake Park High School in Medinah Illinois back in 1972. Fast forward 40 odd years and all the magazine articles come out of the wood work of the birth of the "Stage 1 & Stage 2" history. I thought maybe you had found a "Skunk Works" 1968 no body has ever heard of. It's amazing more of the Buicks weren't more popular back in the day. History shows a properly tuned 1970 Stage 1 Buick would beat a Hemi or an LS-6 car in the 1/4 mile and ride and handle a WHOLE lot better! I am sorry if I had offended you. Keep up the great work! It is people like you that make Yenko.net the site it is.

You certainly did NOT offend me in any way. I am sorry it read like that. I am not versed in the Buick language even though I once owned a 72 GS convertible...BKH

Also Saturday night there is sprint car dirt track racing at Lincoln Speedway @ 30 minutes from the fairgrounds. There is a group that go to the event every year. If you have never been to a dirt sprint car race, you really need to check this night out. Plus the famous Lincoln Chicken make the evening perfect. A group of trucks will make the trek starting @ 5/5:30..BKH
