Title: Sacramento Bug-o-rama
Post by: Lids on August 16, 2012, 09:09:29 am
Do any of you guys have an pics, memorabilia, history etc from the Bug-o-rama days?

I have a few dash plaques #4 to 11 dated 5/25/80 to 9/4/83, but there seems to be very little info.

These were going at the same time as the last bug-ins, were they as popular etc.

They weren't as popular as the Bug-Ins

A few from DKK went at different times and it made for some EPIC Road Trips.

Dave McNew, Fred, Vince Ito, Dave Fong and Jeff Hicken went for one of the events. Might have been a few more that time.

Later on, I went with Bill Schwimmer and Larry Perez.

Bug-o-Rama still happens twice a year... I've been to two of the Bug-Ins (2005 and 2008) and BOR is a much more user-friendly scale (in terms of size).  I didn't see anywhere near the entire event in '05 or '08, as the shows were so big, but Sacramento, while not as large, is just right, as far as overall scope is concerned.  Plus I can drive there and take stuff home with me... airplanes not as friendly for large parts purchases. lol.
