West Coast Nationals, Las Vegas, NV this year?
- Thread starter turbo6man
- Start date
I talked to Jon a few weeks ago about this. The last I heard, the track wasn't being very cooperative. I know there's quite a few great people that attend, and have been very tolerant of the bad things that come up; but there's also some that are saying they will never return. So even if we get a date set, is it worth it? Looking at this post, it seems like +2 anyhow.
The website expires in June, and I don't know if I'll renew it or not. It switched providers and just has a generic welcome screen, until I get around to restoring my backup.

I really hope this event continues also... I look forward to it every year.
Even though we havent brought cars in the past (broken)
Our little group of 5 always attend (have since the beginning).
This year we plan to bring 2 cars, and have started early so they will be ready...
I love this event....

I guess that makes +3. I called Jon a little bit ago and re-affirmed that it doesn't look like it's going to happen this year.
As many of you know there's this particular person that I can't stand that continually takes credit for WCN. Even within the last month, I've heard several people telling me that he was shooting his mouth off at a recent event. Who knows, maybe he'll try to return to glory and (using his words) "make this a real event."
Another person (that is 180 opposite of the last guy I mentioned) seemed like he was going to do every thing he could to help promote,etc. the next event and beyond (and since he is well liked in the Buick community, so I know he could). I haven't had a chance to talk with him to see what his thoughts are.
So basically, at this point, I'd say chances are fairly slim.

I'm with you here Otto! I love watching you turn wrenches while I drink beer Just kidding. I do really enjoy the bench racing, the BS sessions, and yes the beer. This event has been awesome in the past. The cars are great, the track is the nicest I've ever been to and the big names that attend are inspiring to the new fellas. Watching Helicker and Micale showing their tranny pans to the audience is something I just can't compare to watching up here. I am truly dissappointed to hear that the event looks unlikely. This is one event that the guys can bring the other half to that can go do a million other things while we live and breath C-16. Jack, I am really dissappointed but we gotta do what we gotta do I suppose.
Regards,
Jim

Wow, I see you're being yourself Steve. This makes what, the 4th time that someone has had some discussion about WCN over the years and you inject an ad for your crap, because you know it has a better chance of getting noticed here instead of a starting a new post???? Definitely won't see you there! I hope someone wins those raffle prizes.
Everyone, welcome to club S.H.I.T (Steve Hurst Is Talking)!

Not sure what the issue is with the track. They have us on the schedule for Sept. 30th. Go to www.lvms.com and check it out.
They'll give us our own staging lane, all we need to do is show up and go from there.

Have to agree with Jack 100%, last Fall they did not even relay to the track operating personnel that the "Buicks" would be there on Friday night and Saturday day.
After and hour or 2 of waiting in the parking lot, they were finally able to "accomodate" us in a small area by the FAR fence line.
It is a great event, with great people, and a fun time in the city. Just the race program sucks because of track indifference, in spite of all the hard work of the Las Vegas guys putting on the event.
Too bad we are not a "fun destination" city, as our local track would be willing to work with us for a weekend Buick race event.
When you get a turn out of maybe three or four race cars and the president of the club doesn't even run his car just to participate , I don't even bother anymore and I live in Palmdale CA. That says something about your club.hurstbuick said:Gee it must be fun for that guy to shot his mouth off, even in the off season these guys can't let it go, just got to keep digging.

Otto was correct. We are on the schedule for Oct. 15th.
Len, I seriously considered trying to take this on also, but, As you well know, it is VERY hard to be a racer and an organizer at the same time. I'm positive Alicia would be willing to help out quite a bit, and I'll help too in the preparation. I'm sure Jack would still be on board also. Let's Do It !!
