St. Louis Turbo Regals

[excobraguy]

Hey,

I'm south of St. Louis Missouri and looking for any turbo regal owners in or around the St. Louis area. I would be interested in meeting up and possibly sharing some tech tips with people to find out what parts work and how they were to install them. I'd also be interested in sharing knowledge of any local reputable shops........

If you're in the St. louis area, let me know!

Thanks, Dean

Hi Dean.......There's a bunch of us in St. Louis. Check out our website:

Gateway GSCA Home Page (frames)

Our next meeting will be the first Sunday in January. I am sure someone will post the date and location in the "Midwest" section of this website.

Also check out Turbo Regal Web Site which is moderated by Scott Keller of our club. It's the "bible" of the Turbo Buick community.

Prior posters,
Forgive me if we have met before, but have you made it to a Gateway GSCA meeting yet??

It's not easy to match faces with screenames anymore.

Hi Jim.......I have the blue/white 70 GS convertible and 87 GN with the GNX badges. I am good friends with Jeff who has the house where we have had the last couple of meetings. Going to the Easter show in Forest Park?

 

[Electrajim]

Hey Bob,
I know you, and I'm glad I do! . I was trying to dig up the other guys in this thread and hope we can expand the local meeting numbers.
Thank you Jeff for putting up with the group too.

I don't think I will be participating in the Forest Park Easter show this year.
I let the plates lapse on the Electra, the only car close to show worthy.

What about you?

Some of us (FBI) fat boys from Illinois. are only 50 min.
from downtown St.Louis...... But nobody wants to play with us.

 

[Brad T]

What part of southern Illinois are you from?I am near Mt Vernon.There are a few guys from Herrin and Desoto with GNs.

 

[rmar]

Centralia.

 

[Brad T]

Have we ever met? I have a GN that I used to race at Benton and have been to Gateway a few times with.It used to run 10.0 but the last turn on the boost knob on the way to the nines put it on the sidelines.It should be back out this year and ready to hit the eights.

We should all get together down at Benton.I know the guy running the track this year pretty well.He will work with us if we want to do some kind of Buick thing.We will be testing Catagory 6 and a TSO car when the track gets some rubber down.Come on down we are always glad to see Buicks at the local track.

Brad T,


I'd say if we met it would have been years ago.
I just got this GN but no stranger to fast cars.
But this year we will be regulars. Eric(TT) and I are planning some trips down.

A do alot of work for some of the faster door cars and dragsters at both.
I would love to see what ya got.
Look forward to meeting with you and good luck.

 

[Brad T]

We might be running at Benton Sunday.We are going to test but they are running their King of the Street class.They do a 20 mile drive and come back to race.Looks like 65 and sunny come on out.

*Bringing this thread back*

Brad you are talking about Benton, Il I suppose? I haven't been over there yet this year. I hear it is pretty nice.

Benton, Mo just reopened this year. Its near Sikeston. I have ran my '01 Z28 there some, the have an EFI class that you guys may be interested in.

I still don't have a TB yet, but I might trade my Z28 for a TTA pretty soon. Then we'll see about trading for a TB.
