THis weekend I attended the Turbo Buick.com Nationals in Burlington NC. As it was a nice event with great intentions the attendance was less than par. What concerns me is the first sign of a dying breed of vehicles ( turbo buick) because of the economy and maybe parts availability and costs to operate the brand. I proposed to a group of people that we need to bring in and include all other makes in the Gbody line. We know that the Turbo Buick is a little more of a different mentality but the truth to the matter is we all love our cars and it is one of the last true RWD vehicles mass produced that you can still work on for a reasonable budget. Me and Brian from Gbodyparts.com are thinking of an event either with Turbobuick.com or a seperate function that would include a variety of different events and or a show, etc. I would like to know if there were those of you out there that would be willing to travel a distance to have an event for that weekend. We are looking to incorporate all lines Gbody. We would ask for vendor support to offer deals during the event. We would want a car show, we would want a performance event, we may want to think about including a family style atmosphere where you would feel comfortable and have activities for your other family members. I know if we dont create a buzz about our passions that we will soon no longer create a want and need for what we love to do. I just want to know if our Gbody family would come together for a few days of conversations, events, business commerce, and comradery to keep this platform alive.


Please give me your opinions and how far you may travel to go to such an event.
 
I don't live too far from Burlington. I'd go to a GBody event but not really interested in a Buick event. Mainly, I'd like to see a swap meet and car show.
 
The Turbo Buick guys are probably still a little salty from last year when all of those GNs got stolen from the BG Nats I think.
 
"..attendance less than par..."

What kind of attendance, specifically?

I went to the GN show at Old Town in Orlando (Kissimmee) a while back and there were probably 20-30 GNs there.

I'd consider the drive. Family orientation sounds good. More than a one day event is more attractive for those traveling some distance.
 
I will say this, the guys in California really have the gbody thing down to a science. They have love for all gbodies from el caminos to regals. I'm in the midwest and there is only a couple of guys trying to do the gbody meets. Go to YouTube and check out the Cali guys. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32114
 
How about a GBody show in Oklahoma....everyone meet in the middle? Plenty of things to do....
We could see about holding it at the Hard Rock Casino, there's a local dragstrip we could try and reserve for the day?
Just some thoughts?
We could cruise down Peoria Avenue and set up at a Sonic Drive in at night?
