So, just to be clear, there are two events for the Manx Club.
1. Manx over the Falls
2. Shuffle Off to Buffalo
One is the fixed event held in Buffalo NY and the other is the trip that is over 1000 miles one way to get to the fixed event.
(In July 2014, the Manx Club had the Big Bear Bash event held at Big Bear CA. Then, the ECVW '14 trip was also a Manx Club event, which was the trip from the East Coast to the West Coast) _________________ Bad News Racing 2018 NORRA 1000 3rd in Class
Best Day Ever Racing 2022 NORRA 1000 2nd in Class and first All Female team to complete the race
Everyone is gifted. Some just do not open the package.
Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

Hmmm...thats great to know, Joe! I just thought we were a bunch of crazy people trying to see how far our buggies would run before we had to do on the road repairs (day one for me)! I had no idea that the ECVW was a sanctioned Manx Club event. I guess thats why we have the t-shirts, right?
BTW, if you can do it, the Shuffle off to Buffalo looks to be as epic as many of the previous roadtrip events (C2C, NORRA, ECVW) and if you can make time, get your buggy ready and go, I would highly recommend it. _________________ Or you can call me………Tim

I'm glad there's a date for the event now....all I need to do is pull a few strings at work, and I'm there. Accomodations won't be an issue, as I have family all over the 585 & 716 area codes. _________________ Organized people are just too lazy to look for stuff

Important "Manx Over The Falls" website update
I just received a link from the Senior Sales Manager for the host Hotel; Holiday Inn - Buffalo. This link allows for an automatic discount to be applied for those that plan to book a room during the "2015 Manx Over The Falls" time period. When using this link, there should be "MCC" under the Group Code in the left hand column. Please contact the hotel directly if you have any questions, 1-716-886-2121.

Hi All !
And Happy New Year to all!
Just a reminder that Manx over the Falls is on the Manx Club Calendar of events for 2015.
So start Making your Reservations now; check our website at East Coast dune buggies for More information and attachment linking for hotel reservations.
Also I have been in contact with Scott Drollet and he has said their about twelve Buggies who are going to be traveling on the Shuffle to Buffalo Tour ,leaving from California including Bruce and Winnie ,who will be are Guest at Manx over the Falls.
I believe buggies will be joining the caravan as they make their way across the U.S, so if you would like to join them , contact Scott for info about hotel booking Info.
Last but not least if you plan on venturing to the Canadian side of Niagara falls, you will need a Passport , So start applying now for it , you can go to your local post office and apply for one there and get all paper work !
You can even get your passport photo taken at the post office !
If you live in New York State you can apply for an enhanced driver license at the DMV It is just a small fee to change it and it is accepted at the US border customs to cross to and from into Canada and into the USA .
Instead of getting a passport .
Well that's about it for now , start thinking Spring!
More info soon! _________________ Marc “Frizzy” Frisicaro

Just a note to say at the almost exact same time and place, there will be the annual June Jitter Bug event in Niagara Falls, Ontario (Fireman's Park). As I see it, both events will be at the falls on Saturday cruising, and then go to two different parks on Sunday, only miles apart. Might want to glue these two events together somehow and take advantage of the extra cars and people... Just an idea.... |

As Dean 1 just mentioned, and as others have earlier, the largest VW show in Ontario, Canada is the same weekend in Niagara Falls. Fireman's Park is a nice grassy park with a huge playground for the kids and lots of shady trees. 2015 will be the 29th anniversary of the June Jitterbug show. Engine tear down contest, clutch eating teeter totter, engine blow, bouncy castle for the kids, food on site, it's a great show. Proper judging if you want to show your car takes place as you drive in! 3 or 4 judges will judge your car and then you can park wherever you want in the park.
The event starts on Friday with a drive in movie, Saturday John's Bug Shop in Welland has an open house, then at 1pm we meet at Fireman's Park to do an all VW cruise through wine country, ending back at the park for around 5 and free burgers from JBS!!! Sunday is the show at Fireman's Park starting around 8 and running to about 3 when the awards are given out.
It's great that there will be Manxes and buggies from all over the US and Canada in the area that weekend and if we play our cards right and work together, maybe we can get magazine coverage for both events from a fine rag like Hot VWs!
Feel free to PM me for more details. _________________ www.tunedperfection.com |

I think a line of Manx buggies double-parked in front of Frizzy's would make a cool photo _________________ Organized people are just too lazy to look for stuff
