Is there a list somewhere of who is registered? I didn't see it here: http://syncrofest.com/


No. We don't have that this year. I know it's super cool and everyone loves it but we just could not pull it off. We tried to use a new checkout system and it was problematic. We'll try to make it better next year. I think the attendance will be all the usual suspects. We already have well over 100 vans signed up. And that's not even counting the guys from Stephans Autohaus, Go Westy, Van Café, The Buslab and Westy Werks. I'm sure we will have around 200 vans and 300+ adults.

Awesome!

I appreciate the hard work you guys put into this... I can't wait! It'll be a great road trip for me!

Gotta keep my eye on the "most distance traveled" award!

Damn. Oh well... Man that would be a trip for you from MD. If you haven't been I suggest going. Last year I flew to San Francisco and rented a Westy for the weekend just for the weekend. It was a blast

No. But we are charging more at the gate. Preregistration is cheaper and preferred.

That must explain why the next morning I woke up with a couple new scars in my body. Can't remember much after the tequila shots.

Kids were getting their bikes in shape and making plans already. Hope GoWesty brings the bounce house again? That thing is the stuff of dreams, for kids and their chillaxing parents alike.

Not sure the route your taking to syncrofest, we'll be in Taos NM 24-26. Then heading out west. Maybe I'll see ya, after syncrofest were heading to Solstice so possibly hit up some camping with y'all along the way.

Hopefully you get that 2.5 broken in so your not driving like my grandpa lol

Before the trip try and hit some washboard roads for quite a few miles at a van shaking speed to work out any loose electrical connections etc.


LT - Just pulled it out of storage for the first time since getting back this past Friday. Put some new plugs in and been driving it a bit. We went to Odell brewery yesterday and everyone was flipping out over it. Just started a search for a diesel Or something to put in it, I have no idea what we have stateside that will fit.

Stoker,

I'm registered for my first one. Pretty excited. Anyone else notice the days are off by one on the volunteer section on the website? Says Thursday 5/1, but Thursday is 4/30.

Stoker,


Awesome... Definitely hope to see you guys around Moab.... We're leaving April 24th and taking the southern route to California through Phoenix so we'll miss Taos but plan to take the Northern route back home.

Yea I bet that LT turned some heads... it looks AWESOME
