I thought this worth mentioning. For those of you who read VWTrends (which I just dropped my subscription for other reasons than this but am glad I did now), note the crappy coverage of the Southeast Dyno Day. It is all of a few paragraphs. I want to bring this up for a couple of reasons.
- This is not the real event coverage. As I understand it, the coverage was MUCH more extensive and the writer's story was cut down by people at the mag. Kathy has supported GermanLook.com and the VKG on more than one occasion. I know her and her writing well enough.
- The event was in no way sponsored by VWTrends, nor did they play any part in putting it on or supporting the event. Which leaves you to wonder how they came to call it the VWTrends SouthEast Dyno Day...seems they claim to have a copyright to that name (what a joke) and that it was originally their idea to do this event and even though those plans fell apart and they pulled out, that they still had rights to the event.
- I have not seen it, but I hear Hot VW's has very good coverage on it.
- The BK Cruizers and all of the many sponsors deserve to have credit and their massive efforts known. These guys busted their butts and put on a fantastic event. And that is coming from a guy who's engine coughed up junks of metal as he was pulling in the parking lot.
The thread is laced with some bs, but for more info go

I would encourage all to make comments on VWTrends forums if you are disappointed in the coverage of the event...all of the detailed politics aside, the coverage was simply a joke. Why even print that much?
