The goal of combining Buick Race Day and The BPG Nationals is to eliminate and extra "Buick" themed event. Move the BPG event to a better facility. This will be the last year Bill Wills will be running Buick Race Day turning over the Event to the BPG in 2016.

Lets make this 25th Anniversary of Buick Race Day a great one and show the track that The BPG can continue this tradition.

Planning to participate in the Show, Test and Tune, and THS class.
Please confirm the below:
Looks like Friday the track will open early for Buicks till the evening crowd shows. Then open to all makes and models till 11pm
Saturday, open early to Buicks for the car show only, then in the afternoon, open to all makes and for the tracks Points Event.
Sunday, Buick only day. All classes, ran that day, qualifying and eliminations.

Is that about right?

Is it possible to test and tune Saturday?

Is it possible to test and tune Saturday?

Looks like they are having the regular Bracket Race Program on Saturday, so if go early you could get some time trials in before the race.

What heads up classes were you planning on running?

I was assuming TSM would be run and have advertised it as such.

I'm hoping for 8-10 cars.

 

[gbsean]

BPG is not in charge of Race Program this year. Bill Wills the Race Director is hoping to have a xTSM class. I saw on FB that Cal Harline is going to the Event along with Mike Licht. I will be talking to Bill in the next few days and make a post out the Schedule and Classes...still recovering from the Holidays.

If you still have my number would you have Bill call me sometime soon? I'm working on sponsors already.
