did you guys realize there are only Buggy Blast VI is Saturday until the Buggy Blast???
Everybody ready? Buggies running? Hotel/Motel/RV reservations?
Pre-registered?

by **MikeL** » 29 Tue Apr, 2008 12:26 pm

What else needs to be done before the blast ?
Do we have all our bases covered ?

by **GregR** » 29 Tue Apr, 2008 1:10 pm

a pre-run of the cruises would be nice. I thin the longer one is OK, it's basically 1 we did 2 years ago backward with a twist. The one I'm concerned about is teh on for Saturday afternoon. I t has some new roads and I'm not sure what the surface is. Maybe Friday afternoon as it's only about 20 miles.
I still need to make up the participant packets. Maybe I can bring the stuff and we can do that Friday evening. Maybe try to assemble what we have for goodie bags then too. Other than that I can't think of too much although it's kind of overwhelming. ANybody else have ideas for what I'm missing?

by **CoryN** » 29 Tue Apr, 2008 1:17 pm

I'm kind of leaning towards heading up there early on Friday - I don't want to pull the RV through rush hour traffic, especially on a holiday weekend. If I do, I'll be able to assist Friday afternoon, evening with whatever you need help with.

Do we have a cook out planned like last year at the RV park for Friday nihgt? I dont know if we need to reserve the party hall and do they have Grills? Anybody know???

by **CoryN** » 29 Tue Apr, 2008 3:37 pm

When I made my reservation, Alice said the Rally hall was available for Friday night.

by **CoryN** » 29 Tue Apr, 2008 3:38 pm

that was my line Cory.....

by **CoryN** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 7:52 am

Sorry - I'll be there in a pickup - thought it was easier for me to bring them.

by **Greaph** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 7:57 am

If I can make it, I'll show up, I'll likely be working however. In any case, my buggy wont be ready for the road until June :-(

by **CoryN** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 8:00 am

Mine won't be ready either, and I think VeeDubNut is coming sans buggy also. We can have a beer while we watch them drive off for the cruises :cry:

by **GregR** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 8:07 am

Hey Cory, I thought you were going to run sweeper ;-)

. Besides, there'll probably be some extra seats in buggies and you can ride along ....

by **CoryN** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 8:13 am

I am running sweeper. Bet I end up in the truck by myself, wife and boys will find buggies to jump in. ;-)

by **Texasbuggys** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 10:52 am

thats funny right there!

I heard back from Alice, apparently someone has already reserved the Rally Hall for us for Friday night? She also said there is a big bbq pit by the rally building as well as additional grills throughout the grounds.

by **David Head** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 1:08 pm

So it looks like the get-to-gether Friday night is at the Rally Hall at Alices RV park.
If we do it like last year everyone brings there own meat and a side dish to share. Kind of a pot-luck thing.
Just a good time to Hang out and have some good food and fellowship and enjoy the Buggies without have to clean them up.

by **CoryN** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 1:32 pm

Sounds Good! 8-)

by **Greaph** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 2:00 pm

I could bring my TLC FJ40.....but a tractor pull and rock climb event would have to be added :lol:

by **Bill K** » 30 Wed Apr, 2008 11:08 pm

We're coming up Friday, and staying at the Holiday Inn.

by **Rick Leddon** » 01 Thu May, 2008 7:36 am

Dave Barrett is coming to the Buggy Blast from Calif. Dave has been into buggies for years and was involved in getting the Meyers Manx Siggys into production. He is very knowledable and can share a lot in regards to building buggies and buggy history.

He won't be bring a buggy, but is hoping to grab a spare seat and be part of the action. Can anyone help.

Thanks
Rick

by **CoryN** » 01 Thu May, 2008 8:07 am

That sounds great Rick. Look forward to meeting him.

Cory

by **Aquabuggy** » 01 Thu May, 2008 9:06 am

by **Aquabuggy** » 08 Thu May, 2008 4:20 pm

by **Joe** » 08 Thu May, 2008 6:01 pm

It is on pan. has IRS AXLE. it is registered as a 1965.

by **Aquabuggy** » 08 Thu May, 2008 8:53 pm

by **David Head** » 09 Fri May, 2008 8:35 am

You don't need to Pre-register, We can help you out Saturday morning if you don't know the class.

by **Vee Dub Nut** » 09 Fri May, 2008 8:50 am

by **Joe** » 09 Fri May, 2008 10:13 pm
