One month!
Don't forget pre-registration ends April 1st!
Good news is that Vendor Spots are filling up quickly! Bad news if you are a vendor, but good news for all those looking for parts!!!! _________________ '69 bug (Bonnie)

Pre-registration ends April 8, so do it now if you haven't already! Space is filling up, vendor spaces are practically gone already.
Register at http://www.bugapaluza.com/
Here's a sneak peek at the trophies we are making

The Coker Cruise-in is going to be HUGE!!!
I have been talking with the guys over there and at the Honest Charley speed shop. They are anticipating 600+ vehicles!!! Looks like car clubs from all over the place are going to cruise-in for this event. Someone from up near the Canadian boarder is even driving down for this! Plus a chance to see some wicked cool cars and bikes!
Since Bugapaluza has moved the Drive-in movie to Saturday night, you will have time to venture down to the cruise-in and be back by dark for the movie. They will have food vendors and live entertainment down there to round out your Saturday.
They have been very helpful in sponsoring our show ($100 gift certificate to some lucky Bugaploser). We want to help those that help us, so plan on cruising down with us on Saturday at 5:30
This is the only picture I have from the museum and it doesn't do it justice (they have a split window bus and an oval window beetle!).

Pre-registration has closed with a record-breaking 234 cars this year. If you missed out, registration will open at 8 AM on Saturday and will cost $20 to get your car in, until space fills up. Get there as early as you can! We won't be taking any new registrations on Sunday, so Sunday-only cars need to be pre-registered or non-judged. Also, vendor spots have completely sold out. |

Pre-registration has closed, but you can still register your car when you get there. The gate will open Friday starting at noon. Also we will have a special parking lot designated for trailers and you will be able to leave it there. That will allow more room for cars in the main show grounds. |

Can't wait! Got to finish up a few more loose ends on the bus, but hope to be pulling into the field early friday afternoon.
also, not sure if it'll actually happen, but BigAl is thinking about bringing the Almighty to BAP to get help with the rear end.

I offered to bring my welder to the show if there will be some people there to work on it (I will be busy helping out with the show). _________________ '69 bug (Bonnie)

We got the give-a-way motor built today! We just need to grab a generator pulley and some oil and we will post a video of it!
Remember tickets are just $5 for a chance to win the 1600 SP with a std/std block and crank. Lots of new parts;definitely a good deal!
The tins look like chrome but were powder coated by auto cycle powder coating in red bank TN. Lots of parts vendors joined in to make this thing a success. Herrell Bug Parts, Tri-State imports in Cleveland, Tn and Mainly Foreign Autoparts in Chattanooga provided new parts. Rick at R&M motors (attackchicken) provided some used parts thst helped get this done.
If anyone wants to donate parts for next years give away motor, send me a PM or bring something to the show. We can use everything from tin to carbs to generators to blocks! _________________ '69 bug (Bonnie)
