If I count correctly we have 12 Bonnevilles, 4 Grand Prixs, and 1 LeSabre. (Did we have more cars last year?)
The Expedition, F250, and Silverado are welcome to join, of course, but I don't know if they'll all be at Woodburn.
I've ordered the cars here ascending by year and then by ascending style, with its color and owners.
We'll use this as a starting point as a guide for arranging the cars for the annual photo.
Bonne's:
89 LE [red]: Matt & Wendy
92 SSEi [color?]: Keith
93 SSEi [green]: (Zilla): Bill
94 SE [white]: John & Margaret
94 SSEi [black]: Ray
95 SLE [green]: (SLEeper): Bill
96 SSEi [gold]: Jordon
97 SE [silver]: Mark & Heidi
00 SLE [white]: Jared
00 SSEi [red violet]: O'Neil
00 SSEi [black]: Matt & Wendy
02 SSEi [charcoal]: Keven
Non-Bonne's:
88 LeSabre T-Type [color?]: Freddy
97 GPGTP [white]: Landon
97 GPGTP [red]: Celin
98 GPGTP [black]: Thomas
01 GPGT [blue]: Mark & Heidi
Are we missing anybody?
My Expedition will be racing Friday at Test n' Tune. I will also be driving up saturday, probably as a supply/people hauler

My truck will also be at Woodburn Friday, and is available Saturday too for anything that we need to bring with us.

This is the time that I usually love...the "pre-meet excitement". But it sucks to watch it go on knowing I won't be there. Hugs to all of you - be safe on the road and round the campfire. Lol...you're on your own in the tents.

Sure glad I've got A/C in the trailer.
That alone is going to be worth the added cost of bringing two vehicles down there.

I'd love to reprise the FE2 swaybar upgrade that Margaret's car got last year, with an FE2 swaybar upgrade on my 97, but I have been unable to locate a set of FE2 sways. If anybody is game to acquire and bring a set (no, not from stripping them off Margaret's car), I'd be game for bloodying up some knuckles and upgrading my SE. I was also considering a Yella Terra rocker upgrade on my SE, but I wanted to check out John & Margaret's. I didn't order the parts, so that's off my wish-list for now. Bill & the gang will be happy to know my SE is now blissfully Dex-free, with a new radiator (got the `93 rad with the engine-oil-cooler from Radiator Express, can EOC be added to an L36?). I have a full set of spare tails for my SE and a 6-case of nightshades. My Silver Shadow will be getting tinted tails!
Mrs. Bugsi's GP needs the wiper part of the fuel sending unit replaced, but I haven't ordered it yet, so that's probably going to get done post-WCBF.

That wiper is usually stocked at the dealers. I got mine without ordering it. If it is the same as the one Hans did, they stock it right here. I can check for you if you want, only cost around $40.

That's what I did. $43 bucks with the tax over here and in stock that day. You have to buy the whole kit, but only need the little wiper piece.
Depends on if the car actually comes up or not, but I'll have a few minor things to take care of before race day.

I just called my dealer, it wasn't in stock and they quoted $51 for it. I just ordered it for $31 with shipping from gmpartsdirect. I've read the writeups and watched Hans' videos. If it shows up before we take off for WCBF, I'll bring it with us in case anybody feels like smelling like gasoline. Mrs. Bugsi keeps B*TCHING at me about her fuel gauge. *snicker*

Heidi and I are bringing our two boys, Andrew (age 4) and Adam (age 2). I hope to get Heidi down the track in her GPGT on Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping there will be some people around to keep an eye on the rugrats for at least one ride down the strip so I can ride shotgun and do my best impersonation of P-Mom screaming "GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!" when the last yellow light goes off. Alternatively, someone else can break her track cherry and do try their own impersonation of P-Mom. (Oh P-Mom, how are we supposed to break in the track newbies without you?????)
She keeps looking at me askance with a "yeah right" expression when I tell her she's going to race her kid-hauler. Little does she know the addiction of the adrenaline rush!

I'm bringing my two as well ages 6 and 3. My Bville was the kid hauler for the past five years. The wife says she wouldn't like it, but we all know she drives crazier than I do.
