As in previous years, owners are encouraged to bring along a cooler with water, soft drinks or their favorite adult beverage to be shared with the participants. Anything that you bring will be held for the owners only. Thanks for your support..BKH

[Postsedan]

AWESOME line up Brian <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

Dan

[Big Block Bill]

&quot;Roster as follows:
1968 GS Stage 1&quot;

Having owned a 1969 Stage 1 GS 400. I have never heard of a 1968 Stage 1 GS before.

Bill

[bkhpah]

Set up will be Thursday starting at 9:00am...BKH

[bkhpah]

Your the Buick guy, so I guess I made a mistake. We will just say Buick 1968 GS..

[Big Block Bill]

Brian,

No harm, no foul intended. It looks like you have put together a fantastic line up of cars from all manufactures. Buicks were always the &quot;Bastard Stepchild&quot; even back in the day &amp; NEVER got the respect they were due. I surely never did with mine @ Lake Park High School in Medinah Illinois back in 1972. Fast forward 40 odd years and all the magazine articles come out of the wood work of the birth of the &quot;Stage 1 &amp; Stage 2&quot; history. I thought maybe you had found a &quot;Skunk Works&quot; 1968 no body has ever heard of. It's amazing more of the Buicks weren't more popular back in the day. History shows a properly tuned 1970 Stage 1 Buick would beat a Hemi or an LS-6 car in the 1/4 mile and ride and handle a WHOLE lot better! I am sorry if I had offended you. Keep up the great work! It is people like you that make Yenko.net the site it is.

awesome idea!..be glad to bring some beverages.

[Postsedan]

Well said Bill.

Dan

[bkhpah]

You certainly did NOT offend me in any way. I am sorry it read like that. I am not versed in the Buick language even though I once owned a 72 GS convertible...BKH

[bkhpah]

Also Saturday night there is sprint car dirt track racing at Lincoln Speedway @ 30 minutes from the fairgrounds. There is a group that go to the event every year. If you have never been to a dirt sprint car race, you really need to check this night out. Plus the famous Lincoln Chicken make the evening perfect. A group of trucks will make the trek starting @ 5/5:30..BKH

[bkhpah]

Loaded and ready to roll... We will see you all there. I should be at the building ready to receive cars starting at 9AM. Looks like the weekend is going to be great...BKH

[Xplantdad]

Have fun Brian!!

[Postsedan]

Brian,

Please take lots of pictures <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif Don`t forget the Buicks <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[Plowman]

What a great day! Weather was perfect and more of the same in store for Saturday. If anyone was on the fence, here is your push!

It was great seeing Brian and Joe and the group they assembled. Cars were awesome, people were great and some fun gems were found already in the swap meet area. Matt's spot at I27 had a nice spread. I should have taken more pics, help me recapture the day and post them up here. Thanks to everyone today!

[Xplantdad]

Nice!

[Hawkeye]

It was a great day. Brian and crew managed to put together another awesome show. Great to catch up with friends and make some new ones.
Here are a few from today. I will post more later.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Looks like a serious display of old iron. I wish I could attend more shows, looks like this is a consideration for the 2014 short list.

Ryan

PS: Is the Garnet Red 69 L78 Vert the one that is coming to NOCC?

Ryan,

Yes, ofcourse.....just wait until you see her in person.....STUNNING!

Plus, every 1969 Chevelle at SLS is attending the NOCC <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[brent396]

What a great show the boys put on !!!!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

[CC Rider]

SLS is probably the best part of the GM Nats. Looks like a great gathering guys.

[70 copo]

WOW what a terrific event. Just got back-and this Years SLS was one of the best because of the spontaneity--I mean COPO's that you just do not see...a mostly original paint car and a barn found low mile car joined us mid event-one of these cars came from the other show at Fredrick MD and decided to join the SLS display. Fantastic show guys...well done! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[twertsy]

Did a walk through Friday afternoon. Some amazing rides you folks have!

[Bill Rose]

One more picture. We had a &quot;draw from a hat&quot; for the showroom participants, to see who would bring the SLS #5 banner home, and I was the lucky winner. All the SLS showroom guys signed the banner over the weekend. It's proudly displayed in my shop.

This was my first Solid Lifter Showroom and I had a great time. I hated to see it come to an end.

Does anyone have any photos of the 700 mile white COPO Camaro that stopped by? I missed it and would love to see a couple of pics.

Thanks,
