thanks OCOD for a great free show+swap! Had a good time, and the weather was great, nice and shady places to hide too. Very laid back atmosphere.

Looking forward to the next one...

Ya'll are making feel like a rock star. The TB panel did great, no problems. I'm glad people like it, that makes the effort worthwhile. Thanks again to Jdot for that tasty breakfast sandwich.

You Guys Rock....Again!!! Huge Thanks to Everyone who came out and supported Dripfest! We only tried to organize a cool free show for everyone and you guys made it a kickass show!

To the OCOD: Big Thanks to everyone who helped out in making it happen: Ed&Ann, Paul, Rob&Nili, Jim, Chris, Chuck, Glenn&MaryEllen, Ramon, Sean, Cory, Bill, Larry, Ryan, Jeff, Jon, Kate (my wife), Florida Sean, and everyone else who i've missed b/c i'm drained from an action packed 3 Day VW Weekend!!! you guys did awesome and i thank you!

To our Sponsors: Thanks to Steve for bringing Garnet VW on board this year, Willie at East Coast Imports, Nick & Matt at Eastwood, Jim at JNolan Design, Boswell, Sean at Ink & Essence, Dave at Night Life Management, Rick and the Crew at Spring Mtn, and Becca and Jim at the TikiBar

To the South Philly Van Club: Thanks for the delicious Scallops and Security---there were 0 arrests, 0 ounces of mace sprayed, and 0 tazers used at Dripfest!!!! ;-)

To the South-n-Central Jersey VW Clubs, Dutch Dubbers, Sellersville Crew: Huge thanks to you guys for cruising out and supporting your neighboring OCOD club!!

To all the Swappers: Thanks for loading up parts and rolling out to Dripfest, Hope everyone made enough to cover their Vendor Fee at Maple Grove next weekend!

Recap: Friday Night we had camped 15 vehicles that were made up of Split Window Buses (pickens/cuddy/John), a plymouth manned by Manny, several Bay Window Campers and Hardtops (some with astroturf on them), a nice assortment of Vanagons, including a kickass Syncro!, a 70 Vert with a 70 Eriba Puck on the hitch, a 914, and Super, and of course our cabby

Saturday: The weather was Perfect! Based on the numbers on the Windshield Cards supplied by Eastwood Company, we had a count of 90 ...and there were several vws that swapped that didn't have cards on their windshields as well as some of the buses that camped up in the grass section and a couple fashionably late rollers too! ;-)

So props to you guys, making this year bigger than last year!!!

On a darker note, the Porsche turnout was Weak despite the increase in presence on alot of the porsche forums sites....Mike rolled out in his Mocha Brown (not sure of the actual color name) 912 and Sean in his Orange (Blood Red is the name i think) 914 and they're OCOD'ers ;-)
We had 2 other Gorgeous Porsches roll out that were Dripfest Veterans! thank you guys for representing, hope next year we can attract more---think it had something to do with the 1% Chance of Rain that they were calling for central bumble PA....

Perhaps a Road Rally/Navigational Rally for the Porsche guys next year---i'd love a local club to organize an EarlyBird Rally ending at Dripfest next year....So, we'll see what happens! ;-)

on a side note to Manny: your Plymouth was in fact watercooled and was neck and neck with another coolant users...but it all came down to interior i heard...you may want to upgrade to Polka Dots and a personalized license plate! ;-) ;-)

awesome photos everyone! i'm glad you guys all took photos, i didn't take any of the show on saturday and am having a hard time finding my point n shoot camera at the moment that had some Friday night photos on there...

I've had quite a few folks inquire about OCOD Swag since Dripfest. We've got 5 OCOD Flexfit Hats left (4Black, 1Navy) but can take orders on those if needed. If i can sell the last 5, I'll order the next batch which will include: Navy, Black, Khaki, Dark Green, with a Grey Eagle with OCOD thread color matching the color of the hat. These were a big hit and will be Huge with our Florida crew!!!

We also have OCOD Koozies, a few OCOD Girl Tanks, OCOD Baby Onesies, a few OCOD Aluminium Badges, OCOD stickers, and a Random Sampling of OCOD-Penna/St.Augustine Shirts left too!

had a very good time at Dripfest this year. eventho the food vendor thing fell through we made do with what we had.
alot of nice cars, lots of vendors n good times..
whats disappointing tho is all the other car show/events we support and go to, they dont show up for our shows... y is that? :)
i can understand some guys r busy...
but when the same people dont show up for our events and want us to do sumthin for their event....... cmon now.. its a two way street here.
dripfest was a success this year and i want to thank everyone who came out and supported again this year!
thank you
jeff

better late than never.... i didn't get any of the show, but here's a couple from Friday Night camping and the Tikibar afterwards!!!

i think the Tikibar crew truly reflects the spirit of Drifpest and Sean and MattRad could be the spokeschildren for next year!!!
