Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving! :)
I know that most of you already know about the March 11th and 12th weekend in Ga. But for those of you that don't, it is going to be an AWESOME weekend! :D
I have created some pages on our website with all the information on the event. Granted now, they are not finished, but just have basic information at the moment.
Take a look at www.sevwa.com for the info.

The website has been updated with information reguarding all events planned. Host hotels have been listed also for both Dyno Day and Silver Dollar.

If you wish to particpate in any classes/Dyno for the weekend events, pre-registration forms are on the website. Please look them over and send them in when you can. This will save lots of time on show day! :)

thanks

I might put the Bus on the dyno. The heads are in Cali getting some bigger valves. And I am going to add a mixture adjustment knob in the cab. :D
At the meeting we had tonight we thought that we could help with the drag day as well as the dyno day. Let us know what you might need for help Kathy.

That is wayyyy cool guys! We can use everybit we can. ;)
Well for Dyno Day, the basics. Now since I haven't physically done it before, only been a spectator, that is where I need your help. I will have all the paperwork done and ready to go on that day. So between you and the BK we need to figure out how many we need to get the cars in line, do your raffles (which I hope to come up with quite a few), BK do the food, etc.
You all just talk it over and see who can be there early Saturday or mid afternoon, then maybe switch off. Hate for anyone to be stuck all day doing something and not get to enjoy the event! :)
As for Sunday at the RACE. This is going to be one HUGE event! :D I do beileve there is going to be non-stop action on the track that day! As for help there, I will need folks to help get folks in the right places. We will have areas for the Street CHallenge cars, Pro Stocks, bracket racers and the show/swap area. Now some of these guys will already be in place, if they came in the night before and most of the racers should know where to go. Swap meeters will hopefully come in early like they should, so they can get set up before the crowd comes. I will need a few judges also, since I will be stuck at the table all day, I will not be able to get out to much and will depend on my volunteers. The more we have, the faster it gets done. I am hoping that some of the West Ga guys can assist as well, but if you worked on Sat at Dyno Day and just want to enjoy race day, I completely understand.
You all just let me know who can assist on either day and we will compile a list. Would rather have more then enough, then not enough. That way everyone can enjoy it!
If you do help us out on Sunday, you do not have to worry about your gate fee. Same goes for Saturday at Dyno Day.
If you all have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks guys!

I would make a bad judge. Every car that came on a trailer or looks like it came on a trailer (tail pipe too lean, tie down strap marks) -10 points. No dust under the car, -10. Tire dressing on the tread of the tire, -10.
Cars that are driven or look like they were driven, +10 on everything. :agree:

Amen to that my VKG brother!!

Kathy, I can help with pretty much anything the day of the Dyno Day. I'm not sure I'll be at the drag race event though...it's tax season ya know.... :eek:

January 19th 2006, 19:06

Thanks you two!
Beth, you can help me at the registration table at Dyno Day if you wish.

You all just let me know who would like to volunteer and we will go from there. I just do not want you all to miss out on the show Sunday. If we have enought of you, then we can take turns at stuff.

Man, that's the kinda judgin' I need. :D

I wish I could go. The parameter of the dates (first half of the month) would work but I just don't think I could afford taking that Friday and Monday off for the commute. :(

I hope this is an annual shindig.

January 21st 2006, 10:45

Kathy, I can help with Dyno Day. Race day is an unknown at this point. Just let us know what you need. Time won't allow Me to commit to planning activities, but can do "day-of" shuff.

southeastvw

February 13th 2006, 00:14

Anyone that can help either of the days is greatly appricated! ;) Just let me know. Hopefully I will get some giveaways for Dyno Day for you all. If you have any access to businesses to get some, please do. The more the better! :D I am just getting wooden plaques done for Dyno Day. Don't want to have to get anyone to spend their time making some, unless you really want to and have time to do it! :)
What are the trophies we need? Top HP, Top Torque........

UPDATE, We have 7 down for Dyno Day, keep them coming!

Andrew Strom 67 Bus
Joe Arbucci 67 Beetle 2276cc
Mel Bellwood 58 Beetle 2156cc
Eric Parkerson 63 Beetle 2187cc
Peter Sipsis 72 Super Beetle 2332cc
Peter Duffy 71 Beetle 2332cc
Charles Overton 64 Beetle

Many of these guys are also doing the Street Challenge, Pro Racing class and showing their VWs on Sunday at Silver Dollar! :wink:

I know that Jake and I will be there on Saturday for sure. I may not make it the the race on Sunday....we'll just play that day by ear. I'm game to help Saturday though.

I think you're right Dave...we need to start getting our ducks in a row :)

Im not going to make it for the dyno day. i am going to make sunday's activities. as a few of my buds with race cars are coming down and i will be lending them a hand on raceday. my car will be there and i will be about. hope to see ya'll :D there

Let me know when the chat is and i will try my best to be there too!
Yes you are certainly correct about getting all our ducks in a row! :eek: I got so many things on my mind right now it is sad. :confused: Now if I can get Luci to sleep through the night so I can get some good :sleep: , I will be better!

The only downfall we have right now is that the Puerto Ricans will not be coming with their cars! Just a touch of bad luck on them all getting the cars together before time to ship. Hopefully we will see them later this year. Although a few of them are still going to make the trip as spectators and supporters!

Kathy. With the lack of work from the BK folks (after crying about keeping their name on the bill), I think the goal of the VKG will be that you (the one who has done all the work) don't have to do anything on Dyno-Day but take care of you baby girl and watch. I plan on driving down to Reynolds Sun. morning unless we can camp at the track Sat night.

Well I certainly appricate that! ;) But I am there to get this done and will do everything that I can. Will have all paperwork ready for those going on the Dyno, which those that are already registered are ready. Since you all have done this before, I will be depending on you all (VKG & BKC) to help it run smoothly, which I know will happen.

Yes you can camp at the track Saturday night. There will be several racers staying there too, plus the VW Paradise and BRE Dragsters will probably make a pass Saturday night. So you get an extra treat before everyone else. Besides, if you are bringing your car, you can camp right behind it in your show car space. That way you aint got to worry about moving and I don't have to wake you at 7am to move! :sleep: I would like to park the show cars just as you all did before. If you remember Dave.....

This is going to be a crazy weekend....just glad all of this will be on tape, cause I will not get to see it all, with everything I got to do!

We still have spots open, so just let me know. Even if I can't get the money till that day, I would like to know if you want to do it and get you in a time slot.

March 6th?

massIVe 79 vert

February 23rd 2006, 12:36

Pretty much any Wed night is fine with me.....

Looks like all the BKC will be doing is cooking food for lunch and lining up the cars before they get on the Dyno. So....that leaves A LOT more to be done. I guess we need to get Kathy in on this meeting to dole out responsibilities because it sounds like there is plenty left to do :eek:

I'm looking forward to meeting you all. I'll be in Atlanta for a trade show the week after and will come in early to check out all the dubs. It would suck to show up in a rental car, so is there anyone from Atlanta with room to bum a ride?

So when are we on for a chat?
Want to make sure, so I can tend to Luci beforehand.
I will jot down things I think we need for DYno Day and Race Day, although, since I have never done a Dyno Day, I might miss something. I am sure the BKC will do other things for the event if we ask. Besides it does have their name on it! :eek: :D

Anyway, just clue me in and if you don't see me respond, drop me a line, Dave! :cool:

Usually in the chat room on the VKG site at 9 pm...

southeastvw

March 1st 2006, 22:33

guess I missed you all :bawling:
Lets set up another time............ and someone tell me a day early!

Well I went in the chat room and cuaght a little of what you all said. I will be bringing several canopys as well as tables to use for registration and such.
You all can have one just to have the VKG stuff under and hang out, one that people can register at . I will have shirts to sell there too and I can collect show entries and other stuff for Sunday as well.

Now I was counting on getting giveaway stuff for you all, but I really don't have anything but little stuff, like toy cars and such. Do you all have anyone in mind that we can get stuff from? I do have tickets you can use for the 50/50 unless you all have some.

Also, when doing Dyno Day, I have everyone in a time slot, but some have told me they just do it as they come. Well I guess if we have others come, which I hope happens, that we just fit them in whenever. I do have a time open for us all to have lunch too. Also, want to try and wrap it up around 4pm, so everyone can get packed up and off to Reynolds.

Do have the trophies ordered and they are TOP HP, TOP TORQUE and Smallest HP. If there is a special award you all would like to do, go for it, same will go to the BK. ;)

Can anyone be some assistance on Sunday?

Kathy-

Don't know how much you caught of what we said during the chat.....we pretty much just said that we (the VKG) could handle the Dyno Day registration if you want to give us the paperwork. We can also handle the 50/50 tickets and door prize tickets.

Also, what kind of give away stuff do you need? Door prizes or what? I may can squeeze a thing or two out of Jake if I'm REAL sweet. ;)

Don't know about helping Sunday because I'm not sure if I'll make that leg of the trip or not. I always have to play things by ear during tax season.

Sorry I didn't call Kathy. I was trying to get the Z-Bed widened for the bus.
Beth will run the registration with another of us. She will delegate who that is (nobody will say "NO" to her). There will be 8 or more of us there so we can swap out duties (50/50, t-shirt sales, etc). You just bring thre paperwork and turn it over to us. Then set up a spot for you and the baby and chill out.
Joel and I will be at the track and ready to help out Sun.

Not a problem Dave. I certainly appricate all the help. I will most likey be there at the regstration table with you. I know that other people might want to get in on race/street activities for Sunday, so I can take it then.

Yes Beth, need some good door prizes or maybe one big thing. But I certainly don't want to take away anything from Jake, unless he wants to do it.

Kathy (Or anybody that could contact them) Maybe a call to Summit would net a couple of items to give out. I am working until Sun (14hrs from the time I walk out the door untill i return home). But I can pick up something from there. I have to go there on Mon. to pick up my Unilite kit.
They might come off the hip with some hats or shirts, etc.

NO_H2O

March 3rd 2006, 01:56

If we had a few things (they don't have to be big) we could sell tickets and have a drawing. Selling 50/50 tickets and raffle tickets we might get up some money for the club. I don't think there is much of anything in the account now.

massIVe 79 vert

March 3rd 2006, 14:05

That's kinda what I was thinking Dave. Got any ideas for the prizes? I figured any kind of usable car-related stuff might draw a little interest. I can run pick up some things if you'll give me some ideas and maybe a price range you guys think would be appropriate. You know how women are when they go shopping!! :eek:

NO_H2O

March 3rd 2006, 18:09

I would think Jake would get more out of giving out a couple of videos with his smilling face on them. Might get more folks into the Type 4 store, etc. It's all about comming full circle ya-know. I don't know how his stock is on them, I would say whatever he is stong on stock with and will be good for type 1 and type 4.

southeastvw

March 3rd 2006, 21:23

Well anything will help. As I go through my stuff, I will see what I can come up with. I know I got some videos from Bug Me and maybe a show shirt too.
I should have some duffle bags from a vendor out west to use also. We will see when I get them though. Not sure how many he is sending.

March 3rd 2006, 23:45

Are you all ready for an awesome weekend! :D
Lord with everyone talking about it here and there, I am getting excited! Although, I still am not ready yet! Got to get all my paperwork lined up and ready for the weekend as well as get the truck loaded with stuff tonight.
Seems the panel doesn't want to come, so we are all going to be in the truck, towing a small trailer.

I plan to get up and get everyone fed and be there when you all are Saturday morning.
