Buicks at Bates

June 5, 2011

I went to this show 2 years ago, it's small & most trophies go to Buicks, but they do have a non Buick class. It's a peoples choice show. There were about 40 cars last time, maybe a dozen non buicks & I got 1st place with my BBGAMX ! Pretty cool ! But I didn't go last year because it took almost a year to get my plaque.
That's Dave in the pix (red shirt)

So this year, nothing was going on & it's maybe 20 minutes from me, so I went, again the only AMC. Even smaller this year & I was going to leave, but Dave Bon came driving in in his 429 Cobra Jet Torino, Bitchen Car ! It's red with a black hood....so I had to stay, they look sooo much alike ha ha....
His car is Beautifull, there were 8 non Buicks there & we got lots of attention. I thought we might have a chance at some hardware. They called Dave for 2nd place & I figured one of the other cool cars there would be first, But it was my Machine that got it ! And guess what ! I'll get the plaque sometime in the future....Again !
I have to mention, they have a Best of Show non Buick, so it's kinda like we got 2nd & 3rd, but we got wood ! Well...eventually..
