jscheib Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 You're welcome. I suggest you join the BCA, to be able to meet some members, rather than feel like someone outside, looking in. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe phrase it a little differently, John: Even outsiders looking in will be made at home. Then they'll want to join the BCA! The friendly treatment should begin even before they join.

lancemb Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Does anybody know how the cars will be organized this year? By category again or by year? Sure would be nice if I could bring both my 57s in different categories and park them together... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) The organizers should make sure that all of the cars should be parked by year just like Allentown. Edited January 29, 2017 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxBuicks Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Wildcat1562, You do not have to wait for an official BCA membership to fill out a registration for the upcoming National Meet. On the form, where it asks for a membership number, just write PENDING or NEW, and register as a member. We will double check all of the numbers with the National Office before the show begins. Welcome to the BCA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxBuicks Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hello Everyone, Just to fill everyone in, while the host hotel block for the discounted rate has been fulfilled, they do still have rooms open, but may be a little more expensive rate. For example, they are out of Standard Kings but upgraded Kings are available. Also, the Sheraton still has a few standard doubles and upgraded doubles as well. They would be delighted to have our group essentially take over the hotel. Rates are: Standard: $114 Deluxe: $134 Club Level: $144 (includes breakfast and evening hors de oeuvres) I just wanted to bring everyone in the loop.

TxBuicks Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I talked to the head judge for this meet and he said you will be able to park anywhere you want up to Saturday. However, on Saturday the cars will need to be parked according to the judging. This means that the cars judged in the formal 400 Point system, Driven class, and Display will be parked together according to the 400 point classes. But since the Modified cars and the Archival cars are judged differently, and by different judging teams, they will be parked in their own areas. This is the same format used in previous National Meets where there has been judging. Allentown did not have formal judging, so they were able to park the cars strictly according to year. This is a judged event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for being sort of the event liaison and keeping everyone "in the loop" here Roy, it for sure helps everyone, especially newcomers, know how things work at the meets and keeps us abreast of current hotel availability and event registration numbers etc. and I'll go ahead and say it...just so the above subject of "parking" doesn't bog this thread down, anyone wishing to comment on that subject should start or post in a thread dedicated specifically for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I haven't seen any other comments about the dates conflicting with the Iola WI swap meet so I am guessing I am the only BCA member from MN, WI, IL,IA and other states that goes to Iola. A few years ago little Iola was getting about 100,000 people to the swap meet and it is still almost that large. I set up the annual Reatta Rendezvouz at the BCA meets each year and will do so again this summer but most likely will not be attending the Rendezvous or the BCA meet for that matter. Who in the BCA picks the dates and don't they confer with the local chapters when setting the dates?

TxBuicks Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 JIm, I hear you about the dates conflicting with Iola. That is unfortunate. But at this point it is too late to change. As far as who picked the dates, I don't know the direct answer to that for this particular meet, but I do know that the dates for any National Meet are decided upon several years in advance.

This year will be the 45th Iola Car Show and as long as I can remember, it started on the first Thursday after the 4th of July and I would venture a guess that if that wasn't the case in the very early days (1972 +), there might have been just a couple of exceptions. It is advertised as a Thursday-Friday-Saturday event this year, July 6-7-8, and just like any other Swap Meets, most of the goodies usually 'sell for the first time' on setup day Wednesday or early Thursday morning. Only during the late-1980s and 1990s, did I have good luck finding 1950s Buick parts and literature.

60FlatTop Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have my room reservations but I haven't registered.I don't know what I will bring. I know I will not be able to finish the '64 Riviera at the level I want. I really want to paint one fender on the '60 and put new carpets in. The '86 convert needs an equal amount of touch up at the surgery points. I hate to register both and only bring one. Any alternatives or anyone like to see one in person? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
