BUG IN 41 at the AAA (Auto Club) Nascar Race Track in Fontana Calif.

Way to go! What was first in class?

I find it absolutely amazing that the Bug In has been around for 41 years.  

I remember when they had the first one ever and everyone wondered if any cars would show up.

Congrats, Bruce!

That's awesome, Bruce! Way to represent! 

used to go to bugins in sacramento, me, dale, ernie, mike, had our own little section for the speedies..What an ecclectic mix of people, cars....hippies, deadheads, dragsters,

100 point vw dubs, vans and everyother known bastardization of the  VW pan.

there are some non rational people out there.. the beer was cold though

Al...First was a Manx Buggie with a ton of chrome everywhere. They told me that there was only one vote between us. He did have a really nice car.

One of my racing friends got second in the Pro Eliminator class so we had a good day.

I've been to quite few Bug-ins over the years. They use to have an engine pulling contest using stock cars. I attended one where the record was set. The rules were for two people to start at a line 15 feet from the car, drag a jack and stands and tools to the car, jack up the car, remove the engine, drag the engine on the floor jack back to the starting line and then back to the car, re-install the engine, pull the stands and jack away, start up the car and back it over the starting line.  Time: 3 min. 31 seconds. They even used to do "engine blow" demonstrations as well. They'd take an old engine, set it out on the ground, start it up with no oil in it and the throttle wired open. Bets were made on how long it would run before it blew up. Eventually safety ruled out doing this any more so into the sunset it went.

Yes...Bug-ins are alive and well out here. This one was 70 miles round trip for me so it was a nice exercise for my car too.....Bruce
