Title: Bug-O-Rama So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on November 03, 2009, 07:14:45 am A few images from the recent Bug-O-Rama event at California Speedway. Their first event at this venue and as far as getting in and overall organization... it was very well executed. At least from what I saw. The gates opened promptly at 0630hrs. then the car show staff was more than accommodating for the clubs and their parking/grouping needs. Much kudos to the promoters for that, alone. I hope that the racing portion of it went well, aside from the usual cars breaking and oil downs, of course. Another cool aspect... the swap meet area was held in the lot that's west of the track. And to make that even better, they even provided a couple of tram shuttles giving people rides back & forth throughout the facility. This set up allowed more room for the car show area to reside alongside the pits and staging lanes. Which makes a lot of sense. We were able to watch races and see all of the cars lining up for their runs. Too cool!
The weather was hot and sunny... not bad for an autumn day in November. Congrats to Susy!

To the promoters; thank you for understanding the whole car club thing. It's greatly appreciated.

Title: Re: Bug-O-Rama So Cal Post by: Rennsurfer on November 04, 2009, 02:32:02 am nice shot mark 8) , that green convert kg is an dkk car ??? Thanks, Fabian. To answer your question... Ernie is an old friend of the club and his younger brother, Pee-Wee, was an active member. Ernie might as well been, too. There are some old shots of his late model in some of the D.K.K. threads on The Lounge, dating back to the '70s. He and Pee-Wee always had class act cars then and now. Nice shots, Mark! I love the 6 digit license plate effect too! ;D Tanx, Dan. Oh, you like? ;D You know me... hate details, live like a slob, and prefer to be unkempt.
