SUMMARY:Buzzy Award Car Show and Nostalgia Drag Races -Clarence, NY
DESCRIPTION:The   award is named the “Buzzy Award” after Dwane �
 ��Buzzy” Krause. The   inaugural award will be presented at this y
 ear’s (2011) nostalgia drags   at Lancaster Dragway (DUNN TIRE Rac
 eway Park). The DTRP nostalgia   weekend is August 5-6-7. The car sh
 ow will be Sunday the 7th.\nThe winner of the award will receive over 
 $1K total of cash and prizes.\nRich   Kozak and Buzzy debuted their 
 “Midnight’s Madness” Gremlin Gasser (YES   GREMLIN) at the Clu
 tch Artists Automata in Buffalo in 1972. They won   best paint, best
  engineered and a special award for first time shown.\nThe   winner 
 of the Buzzy will be the car that best depicts those categories.   (
 The first time shown deal is a bonus but not a requisite).      
       Here is why I am doing this.             Buzzy 
   Krause passed in 2007. The Buzz I knew was quiet and reserved but 
   always willing to help, especially when it came to building somethi
 ng.             I knew Buzz, or should I say Buzz knew me, 
 since I was born; he used to change my diapers!            
  Buzz   never had any kids of his own but as a kid I always liked be
 ing around   him. Being partners with my Dad (Rich Kozak) Buzz was k
 ind of forced   into a semi-parental role when ever my brothers and 
 I would be at the   track or go to Buzz's parent’s house, where th
 e Gremlin was stored and   worked on.\nBuzzy was always patient with
  me and my   brothers and never short. He would explain things to me
  when I asked   questions and even waited on the return road patient
 ly as me and my   brothers fought over who would sit next to him in 
 the Gremlin on the   return to the pits after a run. Buzz, my Dad an
 d the Gremlin made a   lasting impression on me that still has a str
 ong hold.\nWhen Buzz passed he didn't want any attention. The quiet re
 served man asked for no funeral.\nI can rationalize in my mind that Bu
 zz didn't   want to be a burden or cause pain to anyone but I can no
 t let the   memory of him die. When my Dad told me of Buzzy's decisi
 on; my Dad, told   me that Buzz was like a brother to him and withou
 t a funeral to honor   his life it was almost like he didn't matter,
  like he never existed.\nFast forward to late 2010; I was invited to 
   the Clutch Artists Club house and noticed that, while Buzz was not 
 a   member of the club, Buzzy was remembered there and honored with 
 his name   on their \"in memory of\" board.\nI   knew of the Clutc
 h Artists as a little kid. They were the shit! I'm not   sure if it'
 s that my memories from childhood make everything seem   grander but
  those shows, first at the Buffalo Armory and later at the   Buffalo
  Convention Center, were jaw dropping. In recent years I have had   
 the opportunity to go to many car events around the country and very 
   few bring me back to those early Clutch Artist shows.\nI hope that 
 in some small way the Buzzy Award   will honor Buzz's memory and sho
 w the next generation of Hot Rodders   what the Clutch Artists are a
 bout. It’s not all side burns and rolled up   jeans. It’s the pe
 ople and the cars!-Rob Kozak\n\nFor more information visit https://nor
