Thu Feb 07, 2008 6:39 am

Anyone know what the record for group of FIBERGLASS dune buggies in the usa is?

Only thing I found on Google was a 2000 Manx Club Run Photo that said record 106 dune buggies in attendance.

Anyone know of a bigger gathering?

Texas show numbers???

I think Effingham is going to be the new record! Yes call Guinness!

Are you talking fiberglass "Manx" style buggys? In the 5 times I have been to Glamis I haven't seen a total of 200 Manx style buggys. It's been 6 years since my last trip and things do change.

I've seen over 20 at the Litchfield Bug in in Ct. I think I counted 22 or 23 fiberglass buggies... an easy number to beat.

The question was dune buggys. Not glass buggys. I dont count most glass buggys as dune buggys. as they are rare to see in the Dunes.

I believe the record for most Manxes in one place is in Rick Leddon's barn.

I think I officially counted 33 with the show, swap, racers, and the lifted off road Bradley.

Actually since this forum is call FIBERGLASS BUGGY, I didn't think we were talking about pipe buggies.

Just fantastic fiberglass.
I know world wide Holland is like 1000 or something at one meet.
But this should be a USA record! Both Coasts are meeting in the middle!

I was at the Manx Big bear event with 100+ "Fiberglass" buggys and your right I think Rick's garage will have it for the most Manx's in one spot
but I would like to see a picture of more "fiberglass" glass buggys in one spot. I just have never seen a picture and I would think that, that many would generate some sort of photo.
