Seafoam65 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Just wondering if anyone on the forum is going to Springfield , Missourifor the BCA nats June 10-13 2015? I just sent off my registration today.The host hotel is booked up but I got a room at the LaQuinta a coupleof hundred yards from the host hotel for less than the special conventionrate at the Ramada.

msdminc Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Winston, there are several people from the KC area (BCA Club - Riviera and/or Buick GS Owners for the most part) including my wife and I that will be attending. Some are staying at the Ramada and there are a few at the Hampton just up the street, including us. Our rate was about the same as the Ramada. It is only a 2.5-3 hour drive for us.A few weeks later we will be off to St. Charles, IL for the ROA Meet.Rock Ongord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She use to love my 93 and "the way it hugs the road". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dship Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Won't be making the BCA Nat this year, but will be driving the '92 Riv to the ROA Nat in St. Charles, IL. Am planning on making the 2016 BCA Nat in PA. Edited March 20, 2015 by DShip (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Lamar,I'll drive my '93 down and leave it with Rita; I can hitch hike home. Just make sure you bring your check book. If you'll give me Rita's email address, I'll mail her some pictures of it and the awards it's won.Ed - Here's a preview you can show her. Or if she'd rather, I'll drive the '90 down and leave it with her. Your check book won't need to be as fat. The '90 is just as nice plus it has the sun roof. I'm just not into it as deep as I am the '93.PS- Are non BCA members allowed on the grounds to look around? Springfield is a day trip from my place.

MrEarl Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ed, drive the 63 down, I'll bring the check book and you can bounce all the way back home. Of course non bca members are allowed but hey, members have privileges..... join back up!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I wont be in Springfield this year, but you can count me in for Allentown, PA in 2016 for the 50th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just wondering if anyone on the forum is going to Springfield , Missouri for the BCA nats June 10-13 2015? Winston, Are you asking for info on all forum members or trying to find out how many Riviera guys are going? Lamar almost has me talked into it. (As long as I don't get bounced home.) For us it would be a day trip. Just need to know the best day (or two.)Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdminc Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ed, Susan and I are going. I think you should go and I am with Lamar, you really need to re-up with the BCA. You should be able to pass the background investigation. We will be at the ROA meet in St. Charles too.Rock Ongord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Lamar.......we need you in attendance, somake your hotel reservation now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Lamar belongs to the ROA even though he doesn't own one - yet. We need to find one for him (or Rita.)Lamar, Here's part of the deal. I'll come to the BCA meet in Springfield if you'll come to the ROA meet in St. Charles. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 After receiving this years tax bill, doesn't look like the missus and I will be making it. :mad: But since my wife is from Savannah and her brother still lives there, we may try for the Southeastern regional there though, maybe....

RivNut Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Lamar,I think I'll be making a day trip out of it anyway. I've not yet written a check to the BCA to renew my membership so I'll probably just be going as an observer. I really appreciate the efforts you made to get my original number reinstated for me. However, I'm having a difficult time getting it through my head that the $5,000 scholarship is a frugal use of club funds. That means that me and ninety-nine other guys' dues are not going into anything that are good for the masses. We're just supporting one individual. I'd rather spend that $50 on my grandson. I also know of other ROA members in the BCA who have contacted the BCA office to end their memberships in the BCA. Hard to believe that your board would do something like that. :confused:Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is not unprecedented. The Pontiac Oakland Club has had a scholarship program forabout twenty years.....never heard of any complaints about it. The cost of the POCI program figuresout to about 50 cents a member......about the cost of a cup of coffee. I would assume the Buick program is about the same cost per member. In POCI 's case, the interest on the savings accountsthe club funds are in pretty much pays for the program. I too wonder why a car club would get involved in a scholarship program, but it doesn't bother me one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) This is going to the Nationals.This slide was taken by an amateur photographer. It is a very rare Kodachrome of the very rare Buick Wildcat I. It has never been published to my knowledge and to the knowledge of some whose thoughts I solicited.It was taken at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield in 1953.I was extremely fortunate to have been able to obtain it.I will be posting in other Buick Threads so as many Buick fans can enjoy.
