I had a great time! Couldn't find a nicer group of people to hang out with, and a lot of really cool vehicles were there. Nice turnout even with the rain. A good day :0)

Am I the only one NOT sleeping?

What a cool show. The rain could have ruined it. But VW People are awesome!!!
Everybody, 'cept old #53 whistleegi , hung in there and when the rain stopped we had a great show!

Thanks to everyone for coming out to support us. clap2-*

Now Tracy took 511 photos. Everybody always busts my chops that I never post ALL of the photos.

Great Job everyone!

It's really amazing when you weigh in all the pitfalls of the event, the weather, a new and strange placement on the track and this being only
our second year doing this.

WE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB! =+grouphu9

My hats off to each and everyone. Especially when we have to consider that the event was almost a "it's not going to happen this year thing".

Great Job John, we would not look so good without your planning and leadership.

Thanks to our President Shawn, who, several times at the last minute had to collect extra judges for analysis and awards.

And lets not forget JACK who had to trudge all that swap meet stuff in, SELL IT and truck the left-over stuff, tents, tables and all the rest home again.
GREAT JOB JACK! :jump4jo":

Now go take a nap you deserve it! clap2-*

Glen, great idea of bringing the bike, to spare Johns knees....

kvbug (karen) · August 22, 2011, 12:12:51 PM

I must say, I'm impressed! clap2-* I didn't know it was only your second year of having that show, because it was very professionally and efficiently run. Looked like any of the many long-standing car shows that I've attended, so >.woot> >.woot> to you all! And for hanging in there till the weather cleared up 7&7sun , because it didn't seem that we lost that many people due to it.

Hats off to you! 5%5mexwave

+=ourlogo+= ROCKS!

Now that I've had 14 hours

...

I cannot express how great a show we had yesterday. To those who helped out my sincere thanks. It was awesome.

Some thoughts...

Glen, the bike was genius. Everybody bring a bike next year!

Marc, our grillmaster, you were the man.

Katey & Caitlyn (Hope thats right..I'm terrible with names) our Registration & Trophy girls you were the best. (Howard was in there too but I didn't want to call him a trophy girl! #@rofl3 )

Tyler's PA system was awesome!!! I want that bad!!!! and your library of "Rain" songs was the best #@rofl3

Mark (Slickspeed/DOTB) and his people did a killer job handling the Water Cooled side. Our folks in the parking areas & show car parking...Way to keep 'em flowing!

Certain members were on their feet and going the entire time... In particular Ramone, Jay(Jester), Howard never stopped!

To my wife Tracy, who sat there in the hot sun numbering hundreds of cards & sheets, and putting up with my censor++.gif ... me
You're the best!
Way to go everyone! :jump4jo":

But especially to everyone who paid to get in, and sat through the rain without a single complaint...
They sham-wow'ed their cars and we had one hell of a VW show! Thank You!

Shawn
