Hope the flyer comes thru all right.
It didn't - I'll try again.
Can't seem to fix it.
Go to Test and Tune forum and look for "test" by 66bonne.

John - that's it. I'm not very computer literate; guess they I saved the flyer as a text only file [?].
But as much as anything just wanted to get the word out.

Thanks, Jim

David Holmberg · 09-02-2009, 12:46 AM

Thanks Jim (and John) I need to hire some out of work elf's to get my car ready in time.

joes455 · 09-02-2009, 12:03 PM

I have to agree with p-dude,the BOPC Racing event,should be called" the everything bring what ya have except BOPC" .Last year was not good.

joes455 · 09-02-2009, 12:08 PM

BOPC reps need to stand by the entry gate and make sure this will truly be a BOPC powered event.

Hammertime Mike · 09-02-2009, 01:06 PM

I'd be interested in making a trip to the sunshine state if I knew that I'd get a fair number of runs to make it worth my trip.Be nice to extend my race season!

EVIL_TWIN · 09-02-2009, 09:17 PM

I know this will cause an uproar; but why not let chevy's in so you can have a respectable field of cars racing, (more than 6 S.Pro) and of course a nice purse.
If you let miatas do test and tune why not let chevys race?

Superstock will be running? How many of those are Pontiac powered?

Since I want to Race I WONT be there.

Mike - although I will be going I don't know that I would encourage anyone from out of state to make the trip. P-Dude and others make a good point. The "BOPC" event has been expanded to the point that "BOPC" has actually taken a back seat to all the other classes of racers that have been brought in.

I talked to Alverez after the meet last year. I did not get the impression that the event would make many [if any] changes this year.
Having the open TNT was a ball buster. I watched a red 70s Vette make many passes while the BOP crowd waited and waited.
Still going to give it a shot.
Jim

Hammertime Mike · 09-02-2009, 11:20 PM

Thanks for the heads up.We'll see what developes.

David Holmberg · 09-02-2009, 11:26 PM

Humm, I delayed the elves at this point.
But, I will be at Sunshine Sat night, helping out.

gto/gn · 09-03-2009, 07:36 AM

Also Nov 6th and 7th in Reynolds GA. The event formerly known as The Southeast Muscle Car Challange. Now being called the Southern Buick Shootout. Still open to all BOP.

How about - Instead of calling it a "BOPC Race" calling it "The end of the year PY Forum social event"?

I like this idea. Sounds like a good opportunity to drink beer with friends and tell lies about how fast we could go if we could only get on the track !!

360Rocket · 11-12-2009, 09:51 PM

BUMP! for an awesome event. I just come across a picture of Fernando's GSX. Fernando puts on this shindig every year and its a great turnout.

grandville455 · 11-12-2009, 11:33 PM

Jim Is your ride going to be ready?

prostreet64 · 11-13-2009, 08:55 AM

Yea, last year was a circus but a lot of that was due to poor organization, imho. I can see the 'need' to allow other cars because of the costs involved in putting on the event, but there needs to be a priority given to BOPC cars before all the other makes get their runs. Why can't the first 2 qualifying sessions be limited to BOPC cars? The guy with the Chevy, or whatever, who only came out to test n tune should not be ahead of our guys. Hopefully some changes will be in place. Curtis and I will be there but it is easy for us since we are in G'ville.
