Bug-A-Paluza 2007 Is Coming Up - 4/21-22
 

Bug-A-Paluza is one of the VKG featured events of 2007 and it is right aronnd the corner - in less than 3 weeks.

The Scenic City Volks Folks in conjunction with Village VW of Chattanooga are proud to present Bug-A-Palüza 9 the weekend of April 21st and 22nd, 2007.

Bug-A-Palüza is one of the largest annual VW gatherings in the region. The turnout is expected to go well over 200 VWs along with thousands of VW owners and enthusiast attending.

With over 30 show classes covering anything from the oldest VWs to the newest and anything in between, if you have a Volkswagen, we’ve got a class it will fit in! If you have a GL VW you will be in good company.

In addition to the show, this event has one of the best swap meets around. From new and used parts to VW toys and memorabilia one of our vendors probably has just what you are looking for.

Are you looking for a good excuse to go camping? There is camping available on the show grounds Friday and Saturday nights! Saturday night we even have a “mini-drive-in theater” for kids of all ages!

There is a kids area with a playground and activities located on the show grounds, tech sessions led by a retired factory trained VW mechanic, music, entertainment, door prizes, and some of the best charcoal grilled burgers and hot dogs around!

You can find more information at: http://www.bugapaluza.com

There will be a group of us heading up Saturday from the Atlanta area - we will provide more details soon.

We hope to see you at the show and enjoying all the festivities of the weekend.

I hope to make this one. If I go, I will camp. Looks good so far.:agree:

I will be there Sunday, with "the crew" in tow :)

i will probably be there dont know if Laz will make the trip AGAIN this year.last year it was the carbs looks like it maybe the carbs again this year,along with the rest of that "bic" in the engine bay.however jake maybe my savior this year. if he can get me a tranny (which i doubt) i may can get the stock type 4 in and be ridin. if it does happen everyone look up b/c the stars all the moons aand planets will all be in line.

Thats ok... my ride won't be there (again) either :laugh:

It's almost here! I'll still be there on Sunday.

It look like I will have to pass. I am trying to keep my current project moving along and help Jake with the race car for a Speed TV show. We will be filming the show on 1st-2nd of May in Cordova Ill. and the car is not yet finished. And my partner Kevin (Smiff) broke his leg very badly on Thursday. So DTM Engineering will be a one man show untill Kevin is back on his feet. Ya'll be sure to send some love Kevin's way as he is recovering at home.:agree:

right now im scheduled to work but im trying to give those days away.i may make it after all.

Andrew and I are still planning on attending and look forward to seeing you there.
Dave sorry to hear that you will not be making it.

i got those days off after all. i should make it with my car in tow.still too much gear for long drives. couple that with my new wheels and i would much rather ride in the leather and a/c.i should see you all there on sat afternoon.like always i will be camping in the host hotel.

....car in tow....:(
I will be sitting in my leather seats....can't wait:)

yes! in tow i cant risk anything with the ole bic.its sold.gotta take it out monday and ship it down under.:agree:

Bug-A-Paluza was a good show - there was a good turn out this year and no mud...
There were a few GL cars, it was good to see Lazarus for the last time with a bic and Wrench was there to give support. We also met up with Pete in his very sharp 56 German Look that drew a lot of interest from organizers and spectators alike!!!

I just read the Chattanooga news paper (here at work), and it said there was 222 show cars this year! :eek: It's always good times, when some VKG members get together!

Here's a few pic's of the GL's at the show. Silver '56 split of Pete's, orange '73 SB of Laz, and of course the English bloke with his MassIVe powered yellow '73 Nigel...

sorry i have been MIA. they did it in the parking lot, huh? pretty cool.

so what the hell happen with Smiff? riding cowboy on him too hard Dave? :D

Thanks for the pictures Wrench. It was good to have a small concentrated "GL area" hopefully next year we will have more cars.

I hope so. Hey, maybe even mine will be there :eek: . I just ordered my 2.7 RAT kit w/SDS w/direct fire from Jake, to bolt to my 915 tranny :clap: . I think my GL will move on it's own power then :rolleyes: .

I am looking forward to seeing your car Wrench when it is done!!!!

Well, Jake has "raised the bar" on my RAT kit to 2915cc's :eek: , but trust me, I'm not complaining...

:bowdown: :bowdown:

Wrench, thats 2913cc !!

This is the biggest kit we have ever created, I figured Wrench would be the perfect guinea pig being just up the road from us and able to bring the kit down for Dyno work after assembly...

If he has positive results during asembly you can expect this kit to be in the store in the next 18 months or so.... I am basing the lkit from an engine I built in 2002, but it'll use a newer version of the LE 200 heads and a new developed camshaft as well.

:o Ok, I will change my sig :o ...

2913,,,,,, wow. That should get it done. A a club we should have a wide selection of type 4 power with many different configurations, Turbo, N0S, EFI, Carbs, 009 dizzy, Mallory ignition, up to crank fired ignition. From 2L to 3L. We will be a rolling Raby sample pack.
