Please dont give me a load concerning "well there is enough room for everybody". Les has run this thing into the ground, he's tired and wants to move on, primarily with his buggy shop. We need this has been event in Virginia to continue, and with a person of experience. Really just find a home here and STAY there. No more moving around. People need to know where they are going to spend their holiday weekend. Again I give Les his props. Many years he grew the Bugout. Now, it is not growing anymore. It is dead!!!! Help revive it. |

Is he willing to "give up" the name?
or does it come with a price tag.
It had a history, but it's pretty much a dead show now.
Don't see much value to the name anymore and with the cost of a track, promoting, ppl to organize and run a show, well... it takes a lot of risk and Money to do another "start-up".
Who's want to buy a name and then have to spend more to go several shows/years before getting a return of the investment.
Anyone can just go rent a track and run their own show.
Just gotta put up the money and take the risk.
Just had a first show in MD.... euros on the capitol...
Maybe 100/125 cars showed up.. about a dozen race cars.
Doubt any profit was made on the first show, but may be promising in the future.
If the organizer stays on it and takes a loss for a while, it might be able to become something.... |

I don't know any of the promoters for this show but would love to see it come back. This was one of my favorite summer events.
Add an auto x and it would be perfect.
Very disappointed that it is gone. |

Sorry for the delayed response, just now saw this.
I have enough on my plate right now with events.
It is hard to maintain an event and that is just not in the cards for me. I do appreciate the love.
I will just be focusing on what I have already and make them the best they can.
As the years go by, events will come and go. The best thing you can do as Enthusiasts, is support these events and cherish the memories. Less did a wonderful job with and alot of love into the Bugout events and thousands of VW nuts enjoyed them over all these years. _________________ Kathy Jacobs
