Bug Jam offers activities throughout the weekend now starting with Friday so if one is looking to fill a "BB void" on Saturday morning head to Bug Jam. One can either hang out at the Fairgrounds or downtown Dade City.
IMHO the attendance / impact on the Bug Jam will be minimal, if any.
Not sure what's happening on Friday night, if anything at all.
Perhaps one day BB will return "home"  T

You talk about two big VW events on consecutive weekends a hundred miles apart like it's a bad thing?

I assume by your comment & seeing you have received the long distance award, that you are driving from New Jersey to Bug Jam, going home, then driving back to Daytona the following weekend.
I admire you for that. But, if you're not going to do that, then yes, this is a bad thing. |

Have you ever driven to Bulli Brigade in a split bus? |

Yes, for the last few years in a '64. Think 2014 was my first. Don't particularly want to do that two weekends in a row. Between the two I'm choosing Bug Jam weekend. |

Yes, Saturday, amass downtown Dade City I'm thinking 8-Noon Split Buses everywhere - kinda like a underground Cars & Coffee thing. |

I think the BB relocation and date will have some sort of impact on both events.
Mainly to those traveling from out of town. I’m going to both of them to see for myself. I hate to miss a swap meet as good as the Bugjam has always been, and being a Racing fan who’s been to the Classic 24 event.... I already know what a cool venue it is. Sure it’s a lot of driving and time off, but I think it’ll be worth it.

its a real bummer they Split the shows apart. Id have to choose one or the other. Id love to see an informal Bus gathering on Saturday to fill the void for those of us who cant stay for the Official Bulli show the next week.
