|
|
We are kicking this off early this year, it looks like this will be another banner year so start planning now!
Check out http://www.allaircooledgathering.com for more details about all the events planned for this year.
==================
CAMPING
Last year we had over 170 camping and at party in the clubhouse on Saturday night, and over 325 cars on the show field [all air-cooled! No water!!!] on Sunday.
==================
SPOTLIGHT
This year our spotlight will be on Type 3's! For every Type3 that shows, each will receive a unique memento of the event. We are expecting a huge turnout so this will be one not to miss!
==================
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
"The Voice of VW Drag racing" Dyno Don Chamberlin will be back again with us.
The a pin striping legend, Charlie "The One Armed Bandit" Decker, will be painting again on site. If you are interested in having your car, tool box, skateboard or girlfriend striped, email for a reservation [[email protected]]. His time is limited so sign up early.
More Valve Cover Racing, bring your own or race one of ours. The competition last year was brutal so bring yer "A" game
"Dub Push Kompetition" This is another call for all local clubs to participate in the coveted Dub Push Kompetition. Do you have the stones to push your club to victory? This will be the fifth year and the team to beat is the South Philly Van Club [and northern friends!]. The kompetition is fierce, but the prize is the "Dub Push Cup!" You club name will be engraved for prosperity and you will take possession of the cup for a year to return in 2014 to defend your title. We understand if your club is not up for the challenge, not every club is worthy Wink
A boatload of events for the kids, coloring contests, VW Twister, Herbie Bean Bag Toss and of course the bouncy castle will be back again!
==================
So come on out to one of the best shows in the northeast

What the hell, Jeff? I finally finish the beetle and now your honoring type 3's? The square has been at that show for years. Decisions, decisions.
Guess I'll have to take the beetle to the show and shine.
Great show- if you've never gone- your missing one of the best _________________ John

It'll be interesting to see how many Type 3's we can get out there this year. I know there are more out there, they always seem under represented.
One thing to note, all Type 3's that show will receive a special AACG gift/collectable. It'll be a surprise when you get there.

We had the Flanders Bug Push trophy on display at Litchfield. Schwing was keeping a close eye on it while Casey was nearby.

I'd make a joke...but by the look on Schwing's face this was no laughing matter. _________________ Drive your VW... That's what it was made for.

That's right Chris you got it.
I couldn't get the thought out of my head that Casey would get his grubby hands on that trophy the next day. I just knew.

We just had another club meeting tonight to discuss this year's show. Things are coming together as usual, sounds like another great year in the making. I heard Jeff Taylor's band might be playing on Saturday night which would be awesome. _________________ www.cjvws.com
