Hey jason tell us about the 28mile drive to the show... my dad told me it was rather fun! I wonder what 5 cal lookers rolling down the 5 freeway at 5am two of which having over 13to1 was like. I wish I could have been there this year.

We met up this morning about 4 am at the am pm off the 5 fwy at Carmenita. It was Ben Salazar, Damon Leiataua, Carlos De Alba, (known as THE CAPE) Tim Walton and myself Jason Foster. We headed out up the 5 to Knowelwoods to meet the rest of the club. I must say I was extremely proud of Tim and Damon for having the balls to put these cars where they belong, charging down the freeway. Damon at 15 to 1 Tim right there also I believe at 15 to 1 (Tim with only an external cooler a sump and filter for cooling NO doghouse cooler) My 11 to 1 seems mild to these machines. Anyhow we motored up the 5 with no problems and it was the start of a great day. I might add these guys both Tim and Damon were also running with no temp guages Balls to the walls. Sorry but it was still dark and I've got no driving shots from this morning but it was a great cruise with 5 of the baddest bugs in So. Cal. on a nearly empty CA. highway. I will also add the DKP cruised into Classics this morning over 20 deep that my friends was also quite the thrill !
Jason

Here's a few more. And in the first shot you can all see the newest member to the DKP clan....... naw, jus' kiddin'. These two knuckleheads drove this boat (yes it actually was a boat) all the way from friggin' Florida to this event. 2500+ miles. Thats over 4000 Km for you all in the way east. The Big Boys line up today was truly impressive. Yah know, maybe its the sole addition of that fine yellow car that fired them all up. Man the DKP line up looked solid today. Then there was us....... HAH! I have'nt laughed so friggin hard all damn day in a LONG time. We had a fairly nice line up with more cars each and every event. Guys are gettin the fever and showin up. A very nice addition was Steve Wilkerson's beautiful vert that was brought all the way from Oregon. Jeff Hicken flew out from Jersey. ALL amazing. There was a glitch on the screen when I took the pic of our cars. Not certain what it is there in the middle of the screen. ha. Great food, laughs and ribbing and lots of great people from all over. Russell is awesome, and he officially invited me to his house. What he doesnt know is I am coming! AND.... Im bringing 16 of these Deek guys with me!!!!! naw, kiddin. Good dude Russell. Anyways enough about all that. Too funny. I seriously had tears from laughing so hard today. I'll let the pictures do the talking now.......

Great report Jason. Thanks for the pics. DKP lineup is outstanding with all those cars! And equally cool, is the DKK resurfacing that is taking place. Way to go, guys.
That cake artwork would make a killer t-shirt. Hint, hint...

OK OK enough frivolities... It was really cool to have Damon Leiataua and his light blue oval with us today (as Jay pointed out in his post, this is one bad ass car) as well as the recently re-done car of Dave Rhoads.

Thanks for pictures Jay, Worm & Sarge. I saw DKK Fred snapping off some too.... That Ratto Waiver was a riot. Those training wheels were a little high for my skills though.... Greg can you slot them for adjustment next time?

what a great weekend! my highlight had to be Scott arguing with the security guard when we all went over the chain to view Mark's car alone in the show parking lot from the line to get in, then following him in when he again argued with the parking guy because he made us go up and around some cones, and also his most excellent purchase of the pedal and finally when I was leaving having to wait while he searches everywhere for his keys (I was going to have to drive him home and back for his spare set), then with a great look of discust and flailing his arms to his side, he felt his keys in his back pocket, priceless! Like was said earlier, I was having to much fun to snap off any pictures also, but here are the few I took. the line up.

Thanks for the pic of my car, Jim. During all of the madness the last few days, I didn't take any of it. Didn't know about Scott's keys. Must've taken place after we left. I wanted to hang out with you all for a while longer... but my other half was really sick.

First of all, I want to thank everyone in DKP for their hospitality and making Bob and I feel welcome. The entire weekend was absolutely amazing, leaving me speechless. This event was bigger and better than any Bug--In I've ever attended. The air cooled Volkswagon is NOT dead!! I saw hundreds of incredible cars here and I'm sure many pictures of them will show up here.......but what about the enthusiasts who dare to go outside the box? Are these the future Cal-Look VWs? I might add that the workmanship on the Ghia was excellent.....the black car?......well....plywood and a 55 gal drum of bondo. <grin> Marc Buehler DRA

I have plenty of photos of the incredible cars also, but I wanted to show the variety of cars that were there as well.
Here are a few photos that might give you a sense of the scope of this event. You have to be there to fully appreciate the size of this thing.
ok, I think I'm done now................<grin>
