RETIRED from Hot VW Drag Days and Bug Ins.......

[bugnut68]

NO DYNO ...NO DOLLARS!!!  I'll be at SAC for the BOR instead of bug in.  Sorry vendors, but I vote with my check book
and I'm not the one who threw away the talent.  I was really looking forward to Nick's...oh well 

I remember when Dyno used to announce the BOR events, too... those were the good ol' days.

[Steve DKK]

They are paying someone announce.  Let it be the one and only...

[Speed-Randy]

They're saying the announcer comes with the track steve, hopefully he will be as insightful as the dragday guy and let everyone know" the outlaw turbo class are the really quick cars".

[kingsburgphil]

That sounds like the same BS they said about drag day.   It doesn't really matter since I'm spending my money at Sacramento, where the hardcore racing is  .

I think you all should start a petition and deliver it to Rich. Make sure Rich knows that there still a lot of folks out there that care and want this tradition to continue. The t-shirts are a great idea, and maybe a few folks with clip boards getting signatures at the next couple of events to support the signatures from this forum. It will be hard to argue his value if you walk in with 1000+ names.

My club started a show here in New Jersey back in 2005. All the local VW show/races have become both air and water cooled events, with the air-cooled taking a back seat to the water-cooled turnout 4 to 1. We wanted to change this so we started something new, the All Air-Cooled Gathering [http://www.allaircooledgathering.com/]. Although not on the scale of something like the Classic or Bug-In, what started as 60 cars and about 150 people has grown to over 350 cars and 1500 people and is still growing. That's not an easy thing to do here in the northeast.

Having known Dyno since my days in DKK the one thing that would complete this show for me was to get "The Voice" so I hit him up at one of Rich's parties before the Classic a few years back. It didn't take much arm twisting but Dyno has been our special guest the last couple years. Dyno has committed to our third year and I hope to be able to continue this new tradition for many years to come. What is really cool about it is that some of the folks, that have been in the scene from many years, come up to me how great it is that we were able to get him!

Here's an idea for a t-shirt and maybe posters!

Jhicken - Your Dyno Don artwork idea is great!  It's also great that you're getting Dyno out to your event(s).  Keep it going!

Jeffrey, that artwork is COOL! We all need to print stickers of it and run 'em on the back windows of our cars for the next few events.

[bugnut68]

I think it was asked earlier in the thread possibly, but I'm just curious if anyone has actually talked to Rick Kimball about why the decision was made?

Great idea! I'll pass out flyers with that artwork @ The Madera Spring Fling http://www.MaderaSpringFling.com . this Sun. The Petition idea
sounds good too, not as nasty as starting a boycott of Ovals Only.

Before we hand any stickers, posters or t-shirts, we should wait till Dyno chimes in and see what he says. Although I don't believe being brought out of retirement would be an issue [unless there is some other thing going on], it's all up to Dyno.

If he approves, I'll post a link to a high rez pdf for folks to "spread the word"

Fair enough, Jeffrey.

Screw that... the angry mob doesn't wait for permission! 

Now where's my hangin' rope at... there it is... next to my shotgun!

Word has it he was accused of being a "Prima Donna".

Close, but off the mark....."PRIMO DYNO"  DON is more like it.     The first, the best, the only true Voice.
