Buicks Dominate the US Nationals

[SS/GN]

I know they are not turbo cars but my favourite muscle cars and in a sea of Chevies they dominate 3 classes. Just an amazing accomplishment. Congrats boys

Cool. Stock Eliminator............if you don't cheat..........you don't qualify. I looked into running my GN years ago and was told straight up......"If you don't cheat.............you WONT qualify!" (From a class record holder). I opted out, even though I came up with some great ways to cheat. Coulda been fun, but cheating isn't my thing. Alcohol injection (hidden in the heater box, use red food coloring to mimick Water Wetter, micro drill/EDM the throttle body into the water passage in the throttle body), gut the intercooler tubes, turbo mods, acid ported heads, milling heads/block, lots of pin holes in the turbo inlet hose, IAC mods for more airflow past the TB at WOT, and few cool tricks I will keep under my hat. Oops.........talked too much already. Ton of chassis mods are needed, too. Not cheap to run Stock Eliminator.

^^^ Nothing cheap about stock eliminator racing but the skill level is unbelievable. In a see of Chevies and Fords these Buicks really showed there stuff. I always thought I would get into it when my daughters were done JR's but the costs are just too much to justify. These are very high maintenance cars and most events start on the Thurs so time off work and cost to travel is another factor. BUT they sure are impressive. It also makes my Buick seem like a cheaper alternative
