I could use some help/advice with my car. I'll be at the event, look for the black & gray '86 t-type with black Delaware tags. I have a silver Durango with a black double axle trailer. Should have a tent with a blue top as well. Let's talk.

Thanks,
-Banning.

Man, what a fun event. The Buicks lost to the Fords in the heads up races, but we won in the Team Buick vs. Team Mustang brackets.

I've posted the photos. They are mostly of me (sorry), but maybe there will be something there you'll like.

I'm looking forward to next year!

Is there any way to know if it's going to be cancelled again due to rain . . . I drove all the way out to Ennis in May to find out it was cancelled 10 minutes earlier

Does this event still take place? I remember driving down from rhode island to spectate 10 years ago now & it was a good time....driving home north thru new york i remember just gawking in amazement at the enormous twin towers, couple days later...gone

nope , no buick events at etown , but there is a buick vs ford event at atco raceway in the spring and again in the fall . they are in march and november cool weather which is great for turbos to put down some nice numbers , but the buicks that attend are dwindling
we are way outnumbered by the oval guys , last event i think it was 50 buicks to 150 mustangs
