What happened in the meeting?

Attendence: 70 GS Stage1 convertible, 78 Electra 455 (11.9 car), and 6 GN/TRs. A bunch of other guys showed but did not bring their cars.

Discussed the GS Nationals in Bowling Green and who is going to Indy at the end of June. The Gateway Club had a great turn out in BG plus had good results in the car show and racing! Also talked about the impending MO emissions legislation that will take effect in 9/07.

A club member brought a bunch of "go fast" and rare OEM parts which went in a hurry. That was cool!

We're looking at some dates to meet at GIR as a group to race. We are also looking to rent the GIR for our club only. Updates to follow.

I will be checking with the Gateway BCA to see if we can partner with them on car shows.

It was neat to finally get to meet other turbobuick owners and see my GN parked with others. I too drove off with a great deal on a bunch of parts. Lots of good info to listen in on, although I'm not really into the racing aspect of all this yet. That is awesome theres people out there like Scott (I assume it was Scott) who organise and structure these type of meetings. I'll def. be at the next.
