Maybe the promoters will come in and chime in on this... I'd hate to think it's something petty, but I think it would be worth it for them to come in and comment in the event that it's not some super weak reason that it appears to be.  |

One of the signs of the Apocalypse, is Dyno Don being removed from announcing Bug- In's and Drag- Day's. When Bug- in restarted, the single thing that made it like coming home, was Don on the microphone. If Don isn't there, it's not Bug- In. Plain and simple. Quoted for truth, justice, and Cal Look historical content. |

You might want to edit this. As soon as the promoters see "I'd pay more" they stop reading. They charge more, deliver less. I'll pay less or I wont go. I already am going to start the "DONT GO TO THE CLASSIC" bitch right here, as it's famous for delivering less and less each year. I hope you are reading this promoters, cause you wont get my money for that steaming pile of duece in June. Sorry to hear this Don |

Sorry to hear this ... will always remember the first VW drag day I heard your annoucing. Gary made sure I knew it was You annoucing and told me
a few stories of the old days.

I also agree with John, AND, YES! I would pay more to secure Dyno at the mic. He's worth every cent and MORE. Gonna miss you Dyno, won't be the same without HIS voice. Anybody else, just won't cut it. Ted |

This is very Sad News Indeed.
During a period when we have just lost several of our VW Heroes/Legends it's especially sad to hear that one of our 'living' legends is being treated in this manner.
At a time when we should all be celebrating the 'Good and the Great' that we still have within our scene it's not the news we would all like to hear.
For these reasons, I'll look forward to sharing a nice cold Chimay Beer with Don this year at EBI and hopefully for many years to come.
Thanks Don.

WTF? How do you release this guy?? Dyno is just as iconic as the events themselves. He is Mr. Volkswagen Racing Incorporated himself.
I can only reiterate what Kato said earlier here, that once I fell back into the VW scene not too many years ago it was Dyno's presence and voice that made me happy and comfortable to be back. Like sliding back behind the wheel again. He is THE GLUE that holds a lot of this stuff together. Here's a huge understatement..... He will be sorely missed.
You dah man Dyno. Always was, always will be.
So, on a lighter side I am assuming you finally got that "acting" job in Chatsworth eh?
One more thing..... Just because these knuckleheads are'nt paying you to attend their event does not mean you wont be expected everywhere else! I mean it Dude. Do not disappear. You are welcome (and expected) at any and all things VW anywhere anytime.
Man, this sucks.

Scott,
This is by far one of the best posts I have read from you. I ditto Scott's sentiments regarding this stupid decision by the promoters of bug in. I was really looking forward to attending the event, but may change my mind after hearing this.
I am really starting to feel we should all boycott their events from this point on, until they hire him back. Then they will see how much money they lost by not hiring Dyno.
Best of luck to you Don.
jim smith
ps, best of luck with the new job in chattsworth.

Rather than boycott the event, how about having some shirts made that say "bring back dyno" could have them made for $6-7 each. If 2-300 people were wearing them, they can't ignore that
