Post by: Sarge on December 13, 2007, 19:56:54 pm About the only other club I recall being around when we got started were the Volkschargers which were based in Whittier, Ca. About all I remember of them was that they used to hang out at the Bob's Big Boy on Whittier Blvd. Back then, we Orange County types listened to the Beach Boys and lived the surf culture. The Volkschargers and the Whittier area were considered to be low-riders and "greaser types." We used to cruise Bob's on a regular basis back then looking for races with those boys.
