149 Splits
21 Bays

There were 7 Bays in the Top 20. There were 11 Splits in the Top 20.

7/21 = 33% of Bays made the Top 20
11/149 = 13.5% of Splits made the Top 20.

Now-you've-done-it... :lol:

There were a lot of great buses out there, and the method they have of judging is about as fair as one can get.

It sure seems to me that there were more than 21 bays present, though.

Maybe the bays just all sneaked in without paying :)

you missed 1

Maybe on next years registration cards we can break it down to years. We could, but won't break it down to models as there are way to many split window models/types :shock:

split window 50 to 55 barndoor
split window 56 to 58 ribbed bumper
split window 59 to 61 silver dollar tailight
split window 62 to 67 fried eggs
Bay window 68 to 71 nice bumpers
Bay window 72 to 79 pancake engine
Vanagon
Syncros
Eurovan
Rialta
Other VW boxed shaped non aerodynamic van/bus type vehicle
Other

Wow, now I know why I didn't see Richard all weekend. I almost had an aneurism looking at all those pictures!

But I agree, great representation of the whole event.

Would anyone be interested in a little photo book/magazine like thingy or something like that, using Richard's photos?

Again, thank you to all that made the BBB experience possible, we will attend as long as you'll have us! Don't change a thing! (Unless you want to make it longer!)

Does anyone have contact information for the lady that was selling the wash cloths/towels at the registration booth? I bought a couple of custom color Bay Window towels to be delivered a couple of weeks after BBB by mail.

splitpile wrote: Just for you Crofty, as you can see splits far outnumbered all others combined. The count was taken off of all the registration cards that were turned in. 208 people turned in cards out of over 250 given out. Add another 15 or so splits belonging to the crew and staff of LBB and another 20 or so that didn't register (came in late) and that would make approx 184 split window buses. I'm sure this was our second biggest BBB to date after BBB X, hope to make #15 the biggest ever.

2 Euro's
149 Splits
23 Vanagans
21 Bays
5 bugs.
1 Thing
5 Type 2's
1 Squareback
1 Rialta camper
6 Syncro's
The count according to the regis cards

Thanks, now that didn't hurt anyone did it?

Now that we're figured out the bus count, what about the important count?

How much did did we raise for the kids?

Total off the top of my head was close to 16K. The school doing the food and Sat gate made 2400.00 (this is counted in the 16K.

Looks like we'll give around 10K to charities this year. BBB cost more and more to put on every year and we seem to need more help every year

Speaking of that, I hope that they'll be back next year. Nice students and a worthwhile program. Food wasn't bad either.

I was thinking "The price of success"

The LBB are the heroes of the day, though. They put a huge amount of effort into running the event which often means that they miss out on the fun we take for granted. Let's keep that in mind for next year's event and help the LBB in any way we can.

Less than 12 months to BBBXV and it will be GREAT
