84-85 GN T-Type Hot Air registry

[racemybuick]

Hey all. I have been so interested in finding the Hot Air cars in my area, that it dawned on me...We need a Hot Air Registry. It would be so nice to be able to find a local Hot Air to see, talk with the owner, meet up at diners possibly, show off, and so on. The info about our cars is so valuable to each of us, that I think it would be a great idea to create a list of where to find our cars!!! Who has one? Where are they located? What mods? Timeslips? so on!

Only requirement would be the years! 1984-1985 Buick Grand National, T-Type, turbo regals which were created without an intercooler.

I just need someone to find a host, or some way to make a registry page so that people can enter their info, for anyone else to see!

Anyone interested???

i posted in the northwest forum and asked if the guys knew of any local hot airs and they named my car so i figured no hot airs in washington?

Try looking up local chapters of the GSCA. Our chapter (Chicagoland) has quite a few 84/85 Turbo Regals. Several of them race on a regular basis.

I have a really nice one which is stock except for the air intake and exhaust. I have never raced it though.

Hey Guys,
You can add me in too I'm in Hawaii - '84 GN

 

[fullahotair]

It would be cool if we could get a site up like the Wh1 registry, or if thats too elaborate an basic excel spreadsheet with people/cars seperated by state....unfortunately i am not very internate/webpage design literate... If we want to do a excel file type listing, i would be more than happy to collect the data, i just don't have the capacity to post it or anything like that.... but i think something like the WH1 registry would be pretty cool...

if you guys want an excel file and need someone to compile the data, let me know....


my two cents....

Excerpt from Byran C's post on T6P:


"Again, I would be more than happy to create a registry on my website. Like Jamie said, a simple list type registry should suffice. It can be created to link to a photo as well. Let me know what you think. I could have something up by the end of the week. The info needed would be a name, location (city & state), vin (to verify uniqueness, this would not be published), what it is (GN, T, regal, Ltd), purchase date, color, options, build date,a short list of mods, a picture if available, and an email link (yes or no). Submission would be easiest through email at the present time. This would give a basic start. Am I missing anything? Any thoughts on this."

Exactly what i was thinking....my only thought is making the fields/entries optional...just thinking along the lines of getting the most participation. Some people probably only want enter the basics (stuff the know off the top of their head) with going into a lot of effort....

Ultimately it would be nice to get the Registry as a "sticky" in the forum i think...

let me know if i can help out...

The information submitted could be as brief or detailed as the registrant would like, but the basics need to be covered. The basics would be the first few items I listed.
