The BBOMG-4 feature event will be the GM Powertrain show and plant tour on Friday August 10th.
This represents another opportunity for you the buyers and enthusiasts to interact with, build relationships with and THANK the fine people that build the cars we are so passionate about.
This results in a different kind of event that must be experienced to be appreciated.
This is why we say, BBOMG is more than just a car show.... It's an experience!

This year, BBOMG is proud to team up with GM Powertain to raise money for local charities which focus on local youth. 100% of all money raised will be passed on to our charities.
