DER KLEINER PANZERS

It’s that time of year again. Get your VW’s cleaned, tuned and fueled for BUG-IN Weekend. Kicking of the weekend is our DKP Cruise night held at Historic Downtown Garden Grove. This venue has become a family friendly favorite since the closing of Nick’s Super Burger. Plenty of shade, lot’s of food and beverage choices as well as shops for the spouses. Enter at the intersection of Main Street & Acacia pkwy. The promotor for the GG cruise night charges a $2.00 per car entry fee (this is collected for all GG cruise nights). There is also a 50/50 Raffle.

ATTENTION:

Out of respect for the businesses of Downtown Garden Grove, please do not show up before 4:00pm and try to park on the street early. There is plenty of parking for everyone!

Rain didn’t hold back this crowd from showing up to the 1st VW meetup at O’neill Headquarters in Irvine. There were food trucks, O’neill open house, live surf music, raffle tickets and free swag from shakapeople and Pierside Parts. The parking lot looked more like a OCTO meet, there were so many great busses. The event had a great vibe, can’t wait for the next one!

A group of us are posting to a new Instagram page, DERKLEINERPANZERS, so check us out. By the way, in case you hadn’t already noticed, there are shortcut buttons at the top right of the page for Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. 

 
 

What may be the last HotVW Drag Day at Itwindale had a great turnout this past Sunday. Several DKP members made it out for the event and we had a total of 12 club cars in attendance. Kelly Foster raced Jason’s car in Powder Puff and Darrell came out to “break in” his refreshed motor on the track. Scott, Bill, Don and Dustin decided on impulse to compete in the Der Renn Kafer Cup Series just for the fun of it. Here’s a few pictures to recap the day…

With morning rain, late notice and the Porsche events of the weekend, turnout was a little light but it was good to get out and run some fuel through the IDA’s
