16 May Bug-In 35
WELCOME TO BUG-IN #35 BUG-IN 35 has come and gone and as always this world famous VW get-together proved to be nothing short of amazing. Beautiful weather, cool rides and “unique” enthusiasts made for the perfect So. Cal. happening. While the drag strip was a focal point for race enthusiasts the huge car show, vendor’s alley and massive swap meet brought together sellers, buyers, builders and VW connoisseurs from around the world. So.Cal Vintage Treffen put together an inspiring collection of the finest vintage rides while Hot VWs Magazine hosted the annual Drag Day activities.
Actually the event has turned into a group of events that make for nearly a week of non-stop VW action including: Drag Racing at Irwindale Speedway, Vee Dub Parts Unlimited Open House and BBQ and DKP pre BUG-IN cruise night all of which lead up to the actual Bug-In held at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana. Rancho Performance Transaxles always throws its full support behind this historical. This year was no different as we had a full staff on hand to host visitors, answer questions about our services and provide technical support on our full line of products. The following collection of images by Bob Clark with action from Brain Watts Photography pretty much tells the tale of Bug-In 35.
