Title: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Dave Galassi on April 25, 2015, 22:51:15 pm With Russ Welch's passing, I dug out some old photos I have of his club, The Valley Volks Klub. They had a racing contingent that had a grudge match/test and tune at the original Irwindale RACEWAY on Wednesday nights, and they were a social club as well, having driven their cars to the beach, events, camping, etc. Here are just a few of the many great shots. Makes me wish I was there. I hope you enjoy them as well.[attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3][attachment=4]

Thanks for sharing Dave, always nice to get insight of how fun things used to be. Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Rick Meredith on April 25, 2015, 23:52:50 pm Looks like a lot of fun!

Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: speedwell on April 28, 2015, 16:56:11 pm thx for sharing dave ?
i've found in my archives a picture of that red litcar ;) Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Dave Galassi on April 28, 2015, 23:37:01 pm That's "Big" Al Martinez and his Aztec kit car. He had a body and paint shop and later promoted some VW shows.
Once I get a little time, I'll post some more photos. They really are a time capsule. Like Jim, I like the first photo a lot, but the Tshirt on the girl is pretty cool as well. Anyway, keen eye Sir Licks a Lot! Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Dave Rosique on April 29, 2015, 04:36:09 am Cool pics Dave, thanks for sharing!
Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Jeff68 on April 29, 2015, 13:42:57 pm Wow! Those are great pictures and really shows what it's all about....Good time and friends hanging out playing with their cars. Motivates me to get off my a$$ and get my car out of the garage once again. LOVE that Aztec kit car too (And I am NOT a kit car guy). Thanks for sharing! 8)

Title: Re: Valley Volks Klub Post by: Donny B. on June 30, 2015, 13:51:34 pm Boy, that photo has it all. A motorcycle, some bugs and what appears to be a Pitts special. Did they land that thing on the drag strip?
