5 more days till July 4th, Woodridge car show.Just checked the forecast and as of today it appears to be rain free,partly cloudy

 

[NVRL8]

To those that are going... Are you showing your car, or just going to look? Is there a good place to park for non-show cars? I've obviously never been, and am wondering if the TR cars meet in a specific place.

 

[DIAZ 87]

im going to show/look.parking lot is huges,pretty much the buicks are allways
at the front of the lot by the chicagoland chapter GSCA Tent which is in the main entrance to the lot.All other cars are some what in the back:biggrin: of the lot, where they belong:biggrin: :biggrin: Should be a great turn out this year i hope. also every car that enters the lot is for showing, every one gets
a number

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

The show is free, so why not park your car with the other Buicks? If you don't wish to, there is parking outside the lot for visitors.

But as Diaz said, there is designated Buick parking inside - we keep them all together. There are also Buick specific trophies. And a nice goody bag.

No comment about the other makes - :biggrin:


Weather's looking good - keep your fingers crossed!

Hey Rick, yep that was my Black T.I still have work to do on her. I didn't see you at the show? What time did you get there?? The show was great!

 

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

Well, it looks like all went well with Prasad! He moseyed in later in the day.

We had 66 Buicks registered, with probably at least another 10 non-registered. This was one of our biggest shows ever - 300 cars registered!

How did you guys like the goody bags? Did everything run smooth for you? And I wish you had introduced yourself - I would have loved to put some names and faces together!

Thanks for showing up and sharing your holiday with us!

The goody bags were EXCELLENT! Full of cool stuff that will get some good use. I had a great time. It was nice to meet so many like minded individuals. Wish I could have met everyone. Next time:biggrin:
