Driving the nearly 3 hours each way to look for various parts and to look at everyones rides. I am looking for some really nice bumpers for my 66 beetle if anyone has any. I really dont want reproduction but may have to if I cant find some good ones.

Me too,e-town is sill my favorite show of the season, well ran by Jeff and his club, and always a great swap meet.
I would never complain about the fess, i don't mind paying to play. The only thing i would point out about the gate keepers is, their new trick to go deeper into your pocket: when you tell them you're vending and you have a passenger with you, they try to charge the passenger as if that person is vending too, an extra $10 for nothing. I questioned it and they handed us back the extra $10, but I wonder how many other people wasn't paying attention and got taken for this ride.
Maybe someone in the position to say something should bring it up to the people from the track
with that said, here's some pictures

They pulled that on me. Ask $30 each even though I was just a passenger. When I pointed out if I got out and walked through the gates it would only be $20 they reluctantly agreed and only charged me $20.

you guys got a great day. would have liked to have been there but the mulch got dropped off today at 945am and i didn't finish til about 5pm. I too like going to E-Town to see old faces and the swaps as well as any new rides that i am not familiar with.

Great show yesterday!

Had a lot of nice conversation with anonymous passers by. Jeff and the judges put the fear of god into me concerning my post fuel pump fuel filter so I bought some matching braided German fuel hose and did a little fuel mod on the show parking lot. Ha ha. I realized I probably didn't need the second filter since I put a new fuel pump on last year.

Screw the weatherman, he was completely off and the weather was near perfect.

The Yellow vert took first place in class and we drove the hour plus home with the top down.

Glad to hear you fixed that filter, didn't want to see pictures of such a nice ride ending up in one of the burning VW threads. Thanks for coming out.
