I looked at the website and it is in Concord, NC (Charlotte) in 2012.  2011 is in Danvers, Mass.

The 2011 BCA is in Danvers MA.  Dates are July6-9,2011.
I'm already planing on being there.
I heard there is talk of the 2012 BCA nats going to Charlotte.

AWSOME pictures. sure beats the 77 Nats. in Ohio, (4 cars).
Finally can put a face & car with some of you fellows and girls.
I'm glad I didn't have to judge at this show. ALL 1 st. PLACE.

Congrads on a beautiful bunch of cars.

I looked at the BCA website and it has the 2012 nats listed as being in Concord, NC(which is where Charlotte motor speedway is).  I think I may actually be able to make it to that one!  Last one that was close enough for me to attend was in Richmond, VA back around 2000.

You're correct Al, I think we determined that 1 of them should have had the small badge. I think it was Rob Keena's.

Unfortunately no Buick shows for me this year so I have some catching up to do next year.  Hopefully things have settled down enough.

This really was the show that any future show will be judged against.  My hat off to all of you that made the trip and especially those who helped pull that many cars together for a really strong showing of our breed.  :notworthy:

It can only get bigger and better guys.... more cars nearing completion, economy picking up and our network of owner only increases.

Our hobby is very healthy and it shows!

I think it was determined that Jay's car could properly sport the small badge.  My car is an April car.

There was so much car talk with so many beautiful '65 GSs, you are most likely correct.

Anyone heard about the flooding in Ames this week?



Those who were there just 10 days ago will recognize some of the locations.
I know there's some pretty fresh news footage on youtube, but couldn't track it down.
