Great show once again guys! The fam and I had a great time. Sad to say with my pending move this year this may have been my last Bates show... Stashed my Stage motor, trans, and all my other parts until we are back and I can pick up another turbo Buick. Maybe someone in Hawaii has one that will need work. I did score one of the Powerloggers, and probably won't be using it so if someone else scored something they want to trade shoot me a PM.

This car was a unanimous favorite in my family. Very nicely done!

You are welcome sir.

Mike and I spent countless hours to ensure that everything fell into place and all of the attendees had a wonderful time. All of the volunteers went above and beyond and we thank you. Great job!

Planning has already begun for next year and I can't wait to invade our sleepy little venue once again.

Mike and I thank everyone for coming and we look forward to every year to come.

Many thanks to Mike, Eric, Mikes shop guys, John Saleeby and all involved in setting this up and making it one of the best Buick shows ever! I don't think it could have worked out better, the weather was great, the car were looking sharp, everyone was having fun and the raffle was epic! I still can't believe how much stuff Ralph won but it couldn't go to a nicer guy with all the support he's given to the So Cal Buick scene over the years. Thanks to all the vendors for supporting the show and their donations. I'm already looking forward to next year!!

Thanks again.

Many thanks to Mike & his crew, Eric, & Sheriff John for the best West Coast turbo Buick GTG ever.
I am envious of many of the cars there. Even the meanchicken's car looked great.
I am definitely stepping up my car's appearance for next year.

Big thanks to everyone who made this thing possible.
I think we had about 45 turbo Buicks, a hand full of other hot rods and gave away just under 200 event T-shirts.
Nick, Eric and I have already sat down to to talk about what we need to do to kick things up another notch for next year. It was totally cool last night at dinner (thanks Nick). We were a bunch of grown men, acting like little kids, trying to out due each other, with fresh and crazy ideas for next year's event. Do to this year's raffle and the support of everyone, we are now in a good position to do even more fun new stuff next year.

HUGE thanks for all the vendors who supported this "Mother of all raffles".

This was my first Bates, and i want to say i loved it. I've done a lot of car shows in the past, (other cars) and frankly kinda burned out on them. I had a great time at Bates, and really enjoyed myself. I didn't even have enough time to see all the cars. Spent too much time meeting new people, talking, and learning about our cars, and just didn't get around to all of them. .....guess i'll have to go next year so i can see the rest.

Was a real pleasure meeting Lou, and Mr. Spoolfool himself. Thanks to all those that put on the event. Cheers !

Here's a couple more pics from the event.

Still having fun on the way home.....

More and more vendors are inquiring about "social status" to determine the legitimacy of the event and posting your pics and experiences there as well will help boost this event into the stratosphere.

The "more bigger" the following, the "more bigger" the vendor interest and contributions for future events.

Thanks again for coming!
