Most beautiful Jack,

Have you been breathing in exhaust fumes from the "most beautiful bus"? Dude you sound like you have a bad case of the "Timothy Leary syndrome". Lets hope its not contagious!  c23 c23 c23

Hey Punch Buggy was a blast! lots of great cars and good folks and as usual I had a good time. It was really good to see members and their cars come out in force. Looks like we have some trophy winners but I don't know who, we decided to leave a bit early so I didn't get to see who won what. If anybody has an idea please post as "inquiring minds want to know".  bronz_cup-winner silver_cup_winner goldwinner

One really good surprise was to see Jays "Louie V". The car is incredible! way better than the posted photos and this was backed up by the crowd around it all day. Of all the cars there it gets my vote as the best! Now i never thought a water pumper in an air cooled car could look and sound so good but think about it, this could be a look into the future of our hobby, when something this fresh and new shows up people stop and take notice!   $61$

 :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Hope everybody made it home safe, hope to see ya all at the next one!

  But if I hear what Jack is saying, that would have been ok, rain would be beautiful...... 888

No way. Even if I was a complete idiot (don't answer that  I1t ) & knew nothing about cars or VW's it would be obvious that Jay's car was Best of Show  bronz_cup-winner. That car belongs on Magazine Covers....Speaking only for myself I don't need no stinking trophy :icon_puke_r: but I love those little dash palques (love Atco was the first show I've ever been to that did not give them out, boy talk about cheap &m&

I know it seems cheap of Atco but it actually would have been CJVW's that would have had to pay for them. CJVW is the club that runs the show. For things like trophies, dash plaques and goodie bags, the club has to come up with those funds, either through it's members raisng money or finding companies willing to sponser parts of the show with a cash donation. As we all know the economy sux right now so money is tight. These are some of the reasons why you'll hear some of directors saying it's not so easy to put on a show. People want to get paid, insurance has to be bought, etc.

Post by: njgt-1 on June 23, 2008, 07:54:42 pm
there was some controversy over a member of CJVWS who has won about 4 or 5 best of show trophies. Seems they didn't feel Jays car was"finished". Stupid yes!

Don't know about the class but the car that was down from our tent that had the radar wheels & the magazine article was the one I'm referring to he won best of show.

thats the guy. The people I helped judge wanted to give Jay the best of trophy since they felt this guy had already gotten quite a few. Some big guy in a "porsche" hat came over and started mouthing off how he judges porsche shows and Jays car would never pass muster at one of them. I just said "it isn't a Porsche". The porsche dude then complains "its a show car and its not finished". I guess he had more pull than the two guys I was with. Too bad,

they also passed up Martins red 64'. that was the second time he showed it and got nothing. there was only 5 cars in his class.

 Guys, chill... 
 Hey What can I say. I guess being in the "Society" has it's advantages, but all-in-all I understand, and never thought that I'd be thrown into a stock class. Hey my cars a Bastard, full out Custom, powder coated pan off build, no bolt on stuff and too many years and hours of fabication to even think about recalling. If the judges can't see a modern day work of art then there be stuck in 36hp land forever. This is why I attend the Big Shows, NOPI etc where car building art is reconized, and truely appricated. Best of Show NOPI 2008, and that is against the really big dogs some of whom traveled 1000's of miles. That Porsch dude probably is just pissed because so many porsch owners are now converting there 911's to Subaru power.

 What I feel badly for are many of our Club Members that should of won somthing but got Zip-ppppp

 If you read the PunchBuggy Web page, it looks like it reads that there were approx 20 classes and three winners in each class. If I remember correctly I don't recall hearing anywhere near that many cars called out at awards time? The weather held out and we had a good time. Peace out..  Hey somebody wake Jack up.. stoned#

Wow, I find this all so depressing. A trophy has no meaning if you did not earn it. S**t if you take one just because your bro’s are the judges you might as well just go buy one for yourself. It’s a shame as the Atco show was so nice.

I went to the Flemming show in the spring, and you know what was cool about it, NO TROPHYS ! (they did have dash plaques though, I love dash plaques  (love )

I have no clue what it takes to put together a show. But even taking that into consideration….
Why can we put one together. Personally I am would be more than happy to kick in funds to make it happen. No I’m not rich but it means but it means that much to me to have show where all participants are truly welcome & appreciated for bringing their rides for us & spectators to enjoy.

In regards to awards, everyone gets a participation award. Best of  show etc. Peoples Choice only & strictly regulated for no cheating or favoritism.

In my experience SJVWC is the best there is. I would like to see us show the way to others how it should be done.

Post by: njgt-1 on June 23, 2008, 10:23:24 pm
Jay and guys,

I have to say that the real judges were the crowds around Louie all day. Now if the bone head in the porsche hat didn't notice then its his ( and clubs ) problem. Now how important are trophies? not very much. I have a gang of them but over the years the people I've met and the stories I've heard make the $6.00 trophies worthless. I ran into the "Uber people" early on with the Bradley. I pretty much stopped doing VW shows with the car several years ago because I was tired of some of the attitudes I got.("its not real he took it out of a box and bolted it to a pan" - or "mister you killed a good VW to build that horrible thing" - and my favorite 'You bought it like that! you should have put the VW body back on" ) Unfortunately theres lots of people who wouldn't know originality if they fell over it! When it comes to judging its really subjective and dependent on just what the judge sees. this crap goes on at all car shows not just VW.

I remember Punch Buggy back 10 or 12 years ago at that time the guy who owns "VW customs & restorations" in manassas VA. would come up with a team of guys and do all the judging for the show. these guys were independent and had no ax to grind or even favorites so if you got a trophy it was because your car deserved it. Very few shows have ever followed that formula.   

We build and drive our cars to please ourselves, trophies and awards are nice but its not the whole picture. Theres nothing better when somebody has a fit of nostalgia while checking out your car. The magic is that your ride can invoke a feeling, memory , or just a good experience in someone who identifies with your passions. No trophy can replace that and its sad how many people place value on just a trophy! If thats the only reason you have a "show car" then you are in the wrong hobby and should start thinking about taking up knitting or stained glass!

The only trophies that matter are the ones given out at the monthly  sjvwc.ico Dairy Queen Cruise...  P#3 

I agree that Jay's was the cream of the crop, so let those other guys take it uber serious; as usual we just have fun and enjoy the shade by the love bus,  (love

Next year we'll bring the grill and show them how it's done...  (-)

 Marc stoned#

PS on a different buy similar note maybe we should put together a thread for planning a show, if that is still on the table, it might be good to get what everyone would want to see in a show, and a good mental dump now so we have the info, I don’t know about any of you but my mind is like a sieve.  Like now, my idea that I need to get out b4 I forget would be a free club sponsored hydration station by the tent, free ice water 4 everyone that wants it. All the club would need is the water, cups and ice(easier said than done I know), and a big  sjvwc.ico banner)...  Now we return you to your regularly scheduled rant

 Hey any word on the Racers, they were still racing when most of us left. Did any of our Club Members win? Hopefully The "Society" of Idiots wasn't judging the races too?  m-d

 Also any word on whoelse from our club may have won anything. I still think that they didn't award the amount of wins that were advertised. I realize that winning is not everything, but if your going to persent awards then be fair about the judging.   :icon_puke_l:

I didn't hear of anybody else.

Guys,

just a second thought, I hope I don't come across as trashing VW shows. Some of the best times I've had in this hobby has been at those shows, some of the best friends I've made also has been through the hobby. It just rubs me the wrong way when something that we should do for fun becomes much less. I've had crappy judging experiences at regular car shows also so the "Bone Headed Attitudes" aren't just found at VW shows but every club has some elements of such ( except us of course! ).
For me Sunday was a great time, with people I respect and identify with ( yes even you Jack! ) and it goes without saying I'll remember that as a good time. Trophies are nice but should never be a goal!

OK enough already!      rant

Hey all. sounds like its all politics when it comes to the judging. Since there were only two Things at the end of the show I got a 1st place. I LOVED the louie V and i think he was robbed. As for the Judging Frank got a trophy.  Louie V got two. a 1st place for the Dune buggy. and LOTS of UNCLAIMED tropies. The judge did not know what class was winning only the number of that class. so no body knew which cars were winning. always best to put class # and ACTUAL class announced when presenting trophies. I bet members won but had already left. at least they did the air colled first.

Guys. Sorry for the Rant. But after reading and seeing how much support that many, many of you fellow SJVWC members have given Louie I just feel the need to explain Louie to you one last time.   

 You see much like a race car was built to race, Louie was conceived with two goals in life. One was to compete at SEMA Las Vagas “The Largest Car Builders Show if it’s kind” the other was to build a car that would make the VDub Community step back and take notice! Due to lack of funds distance etc, many of the planned build items were scaled back or deleted etc, I couldn’t afford to continue to travel to So-Cal to build this car so I moved it back here “home” where it now roams. So needless to say the SEMA plans are now history. This car has won Best of Show at NOPI “with no dispute” those are the folks that recognize a quality build and the trick stuff that went into it. The upsetting thing is that I wanted to unveil this car to the East Coast VDub Community along with SJVWC so that those in attendance and others who may have seen the pics can step back and say “WoW” that’s a VW? I realize that none of you really seen the car before the show and hopefully those that did attend can contest to the quality of the car and the build. That in itself speaks for the wholesomeness and appreciation of our members.  I am not upset that I did not win 1st place in my category, but as time passes and I read all of your compliments I too am starting to wonder why this car that was truly different and appreciated by all in attendance wasn’t awarded Best Of? It wasn’t just one thing about the car it should have been judged by the entire package. Please think when you may have seen one better done? Things like this is what will sour against CJVW “ Society” and their unfairness or inability in honest judging.

 Sorry about the Rant, it’s just the more I think back and the more I’m told I was robbed gets me more upset. Afterall it’s not just me that was Robbed, it was many of our members and their cars, and Louie that is also part of the Club! So in short SJVW “Club” was Robbed! Thank you to all that appreciated this car, I realize that it may not be everyone’s taste, but all-in-all it is truly different. It's a BugaRu, half Bug Half Subaru.

Jay,

One was to compete at SEMA Las Vagas “The Largest Car Builders Show if it’s kind” the other was to build a car that would make the VDub Community step back and take notice!

From the looks of the crowds around the car Sunday and your trip to NOPI I think you accomplished both goals. There is absolutely no question about the quality or originality of that car. I've been a v-dubber for at least 14 years and I've never seen anything like it.

Now with that being said I hope this experience doesn't turn  you off to car shows in general. Just because the guys at CJVWS didn't have the balls to go up against their fellow "Uber" members its their loss. If its favoritism then its turning a blind eye to something that is unique and special and I'd hate to be a member, of their club and have your kind of vision when it comes to building special vehicles. I know theres a place for Louie and it might not be at the local VW shows. Quality and innovative thinking can't be challenged
just because somebody isn't brave enough to accept something new ( or old ) and different . You might want to try some of the local "all makes" shows. I've found that sometimes original thinking that challenges the old standards really freaks some people out. They can't understand why this unusual car doesn't fit in their narrow minded mold. As I said before I got this with the Bradley and in the beginning it was tough to get a straight look from some of them. Now when "they" realized that some of the spectators were climbing past rows of Corvettes just to see the "weird kit car" suddenly
they took a better notice to what I was trying to accomplish. Until the GT hit the streets it was rare to ever see anything but the occasional Cobra ( read that assembled hi $$ kit car ) at local shows.

In a couple of weeks we will be doing Merchantville. This is an "all makes & model " show and I'm 100% sure Louie will be more than welcome at that one. Over the years that show has hosted close to 1000 cars all in one day. I've seen some things there that I only knew existed in magazines and had the pleasure to meet the owners. If Sundays stupidity and single minded thinking didn't turn you off then I hope you can bring Louie out for that one. I think he will feel at home!

No one has to tell me that our club are winners, each and everyone and their VW's are. Where else can you find a better group, who can poke fun at each other and then the next minute you are right there to help one another out when in need.
I am sorry I have missed out on a lot of things this season and I missed seeing Louie.
From the pictures I saw, you all looked like you had a good time, even with all the kidding we gave Greg his VW was there and looked good.
Now as far as giving away free water, I'm sure we can beat that. How do you think others would feel seeing some of you "eating" a snow cone? WHAT a snow cone  shocked
Long story but I own a REAL snow cone machine, (Not a toy) runs on AC but can run on 12 volt. I still have my connections as to where to buy the  cups and juice wholesale. We used this for all the "kids" parties etc
A couple of big cooler boxes and some ice and you are all set to go. This and a some other things would fit right in the "dung" bus. I can even show you that you don't have to charge a dime and still make enough money to pay for the supplies plus.
No catch here the machine now belongs to the club.
But it is up to you guys if you want it.  ???

This will be a present from the whole Ward family

Buddy. That's a great idea I'm sure it would be a hit. On a Hot day it would surely keep the crowd  $61$ We can put Jack incharge of it then he'll be the "IceMan" plus it might help to keep him awake.

One last word, Eddie did win a 1st place in Dune Buggy,
talked with him today and he said they forgot to call the class so he
went up and reminded them that there were only 2 cars in the class.
Guess they were just forgetful !

That just goes to prove what many of us thought. If you go back and read the PunchBuggy Addvertisment there were approx 20 classes in AC cars with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each class. That would be about 60 cars that should have won something. "No Way in Hell" did they call out that many names. Gee's Poor Eddie had to go up and Beg for his just due. It's the Freaking Fracken "Society of Higher VDubs" Cheaters that they are! :icon_puke_l:  777  :wallbash:  .///  m-d2

HI FRANK HERE,
 I ENJOYED THE SHOW, THE BEERS, THE GUYS COMING OVER TO MY CAR AND SPENDING  SOME TIME AT OUR LOCATION MAYBE ITS BECAUSE IM VP OR THEY JUSTS KNEW ALL THE CRAP I WENT THROUGH TO GET THE CAR THERE. THIS YEAR THEY HAD NO CONVERTIBLE CLASS, LAST YEAR  I GOT SECOND IN THAT CLASS AND FIRST WENT TO THE GUY WITH THE GIRL IN THE SHORTS, THIS YEAR WITHOUT THE VERT CLASS I GOT PLACED IN THE MODIFIED CLASS SOMETHING OR ONOTHER I WAS NOT SURE IT DID NOT MATTER I WAS GLAD I MADE IT , AND I GOT THIRD PLACE , THE GREEN SUPER GOT FIRST IT WAS A NICE CAR. AS FAR AS BUGARU I DONT SEE WHAT WAS MISSING, THE CAR IS GORGEOUS I DID NOT KNOW IT BELONGED TO JAY TILL AN HOUR OR SO AFTER I GOT THERE, THAT CAR THAT WON BEST OF SHOW IS A VERY NICE CAR AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED EITHER ONE DESERVED BEST OF BUT TO THINK HE WON OT BECAUSE OF HIS AFFILIAATION WITH THE CLUB DOING THE SHOW WELL THATS A DIFFERENT STORY. IN MY BOOK THAY ARE BOTH GREAT CARS BUT I WOULD RATHER DRIVE THE BUGARU, IT DEFINETLY LOOKS A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE.

Wow.. Now I'm starting to get the picture and understand some of the events that took place at PunchBuggy. I had two different people ask me if my car was forsale. My answer was "No" to both of them, but one of the guys said are you sure????? I said no it's not forsale. He then pointed down the line of cars and said that guy will tak 45 for his car but I want your car, it's more modern, and updated etc. Would you take 45? I replied 45 what, he repiled 45k... I chuckeld at him as I was confussed what car he was speaking of that was 4Sale because I hadn't seen any signs on the few cars next to our Club Tent. I guess now I know why he may have won Best of again. Thanks Marc you helped me put the pices together and the forsale ad on the Samba confirmed it.

 Thanks again. Jay

If I can't register and pay the day of the show I won't be going to Dubs On The Boards. I'm not about to give up $25 beforehand with no rain date. If it rains your out $25.

I wish I was a Society. :icon_cheesygrin:

That last time I went to punch buggy day was 95 or 97. I was expecting so much more, I planned to stay the whole day but after watching a couple races, chatting with the guys in the club, checking out the slim picking vendors, checking out the cars, here wasn't much to do. Did they ever do the tire toss? Burn out competition? Ms. Punch Buggy? The one thing I can't stand about atco is the poor PA system, I remember that as a kid going with my dad, and saying did you hear what they just said...dad: nope. I guess my expectations weren't met. There's always english town.
 ;D

I'm starting to collect my bloody body parts, and whip up a batch of fake blood.  ;D
