Car Show pics on a Road Trip to the Buick Nationals (Lots of PICS!!)

TORQUE
Pics start out with a car show in Tennessee, then some pics of drive through back roads ending up at the Buick GS Nats in Bowling Green.
Got a pic of a 69 Firebird and my car, it was a random car parked in Western Ky. Six TTA's showed up at the event. One pic is of a friend of mine (on the board) from High school, just got a TTA and then some others at Beach Bend Raceway. The Street Rod pictured at the end was an LC2 drivetrain. Enjoy.

Great pics! thanks for sharing. Did you make any passes?

Thanks. No passes. I 'm not a GS member, didn't want to spend the extra $$$. To tell the truth, maybe earlier in the week was better, but Saturday was kinda lame. I may skip next year. There wasn't any vendors. I remember back in the day when there were enough vendors that you could have built a 10 second car in the parking lot. This time I only saw one swap meet dude with a used stock turbo laying on the pavement. I miss the halcyon times.

Beach Bend still has a few weekends this year. May still go.
 
The buick guys are cannibalizing the sales. tb.com is having an event the first weekend of may this year. Seriously, WTF are they thinking?

Norwalk, Bowling Green, and TB.com in the same 4 week period.

I'll be in Ohio this year and next year it is all LS for me.

I don't know why I didn't think of this, but I should have given away all the tickets I bought. Dad and I had 2 spec passes perday, race and show PER day....money down the drain.

Alright. Enough of that. Sorry to hijack.

thanks. It was a nice Firebird. It had 400 c.i. badges on the hood. What makes the difference from 68 to 69?

The 69 has the skinny chrome front bumper and is painted around the headlights, 67 and 68 have the full chrome (which looks better IMO). Then 68 has the arrowhead on the rear quarter and 67 doesn't. I was just giving you crap about it, I love 1st gen Firebirds and the one you saw looks like a nice example of one.

a 69 for comparison:

After looking at the 69, I think I like the 68 better too.
