38Buick 80C Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Since the main thread is locked by Peter I will start this one so that I may help answer questions. I'm excited to chair the Buick portion of this event and very thankful to Steve, AACA and the BHA for embracing it , in the spirit of the overall promotion of the hobby. We hope to have a large turn out of Buicks for those who are comfortable partaking in the activities planned.

38Buick 80C Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Oh and I need class judges. Please contact me if you can help. Buick judging will be from 9-11am so as not to interfere with AACA. Buick judging will be relatively simple (not 400pt) so while AACA or BCA judging is a plus it is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'll be there and would be happy to volunteer. Is this separate from the AACA show or are all the cars going to be in the same place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in the same area as cars can be judged in both shows, but the Buicks will have their own display area. I haven't yet specifically seen the overall showfield layout.

Matt Harwood Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I still owe you a meal, too, Brian! Melanie and I will both be there and we'd be happy to help. You should take advantage of Melanie's incredible logistics and organizational skills. She really makes things happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cxgvd Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Booked at the Sure Stay by Best Western in Auburn, I missed two years ago because the Meet was a Grand National and last year due to the virus. The US/Canada border will have to be open for tourist traffic, here's hoping. Regards, Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moskowitz Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 No, John this is the beauty of the event which we have done for several years with other groups. Join in the fun and show with the Buick guys but you do have to register with them, however, if you want to take advantage of the 1/2 year AACA membership at only $20 you can also register to be judged in AACA at the same time. Totally your call. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38Buick 80C Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 This was noted in the other thread but wanted to highlight it here as well. Judging will take place on July 3rd at the Auburn Buick Celebration. Please note that we will not be using BCA, AACA or any other club judging programs for this event. Our judging will be unique to this show. All Buicks must be on the show field by 9AM for the start of judging and complete by 11AM. Judging will be conducted by a judging team per class and 3 vehicles per class will be selected for a class award. There will also be special recognition awards for various categories (e.g. Outstanding Pre-War, Post-War, etc.), these cars will be selected by a distinct judging team from any class team and who will look at all Buicks on the show field. At 2:30PM on the show field we will recognize the winners and distribute the awards at this time (COVID restrictions will dictate how we actually do this). The AACA BBQ dinner will follow as per the schedule and AACA’s awards will follow that. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to be judged, close the hood and lock the car and go enjoy the rest of the Buicks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Roberta, we hope to have info from RM about our spaces this week and will get them posted and Fred will have. Working on several ideas and locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 What we do know is the spaces will be 10 X 20 and all on black top. Brian, we can provide Display Only Windshield cards for anyone who needs them. We use DO Not Judge windshield cards to help the judges but can label them anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What “”unique judging” will be used? I think it would help owners and be useful to know before registering in order to know what class to enter or whether to enter period. The modified class should be for modified cars The regular classes would be for authentically correct cars. The "unique" phrase was more an indication that it is NOT AACA or BCA 400pt judging than it is anything particularly special. I'm still finalizing the exact nature of how we will conduct the judging but for the regular classes it would be authenticity and condition based, for Survival class authenticity and preservation of original features based, for Modified class condition and degree/skill of modification. In my opinion Modified class is always the hardest to judge as it can be the most subjective and hardest to create an objective judging format. Does that answer your question because keep in mind we have to complete judging in a 2 hour period with a potentially limited amount of volunteer judging teams. Respectfully I am not willing to make the Buick judging overly complex for that reason. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moskowitz Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The tallest of the three awards will be given out to the lucky winners of special glass awards at Auburn. They are much prettier in person and were used at the Elegance at Hershey Concours in 2019. Really gorgeous and unique! Hope you folks can join in on the fun. The gold/black award is the class award being given out ( 3 per class). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I had inquired in the AACA thread about possible RV/Camper parking at the RM site and received the following pm from @Steve Moskowitz Thanks Steve Steve: To use their spaces where they will provide electrical hook ups they want $50 per day. They would be close to show field and only room for 5 or 6. There is a major development with the site that will add some challenge to our event but we will make it happen nonetheless. Lamar: Thanks Steve. and water? But no sewer or pumper? Steve: No sewer or pumper for sure, not sure about water but will ask again. Sorry. Not our property and there are going to be some renovations affecting certain areas that were formerly used for all the big RV's that came to the fall auction. Lamar: No problem, thanks for looking into this for us Steve. I'll continue looking for a good camping site in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Late registrant here😁 It was a bit of a pain booking a hotel room...the AACA blocks must all be booked, because no one wanted to honor the price on the AACA brochures. I ended up at Tru Hilton for $135 a night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
