To all the gang at DVKK, Zundfolge, Strictly German and the water cooled group,
Thanks for the great weekend! Tons of fun and great to see lots of old friends come out of the woodwork for the events. Already looking forward to next year!

Indeed!, Thanks for investing the time to put a weekend like this on, I know it doesn't just magically organize itself and it's even harder to enjoy your efforts when you still have to man the gate, sell tickets or whatever on show day, hats off to all of you, well done!

Epic weekend!!!  We all had a fantastic time! Thanks to all that had a hand in putting together this awesome weekend. Also special thanks to our buddy Kev who one month ago had this notion of driving the 52 split to the show  (the car was a stripped bare shell sitting on saw horses). It was the first time the car has been driven since 1964.  Thanks to all the Zundfolge crew that wrenched on the beetle, and Busdaddy (Mark Zalesky) for making us some cool dash pods as well as a special tuning session  ;) Thanks to all the out of town peoples that came out to the show, and the swappers who brought out the stuff that gets our projects a little further along and keep our cars on the road. Thanks Geoff for the use of the trailer and van so we could get the half-track bus up to the show. Thanks to all! Allan for photographing the event....etc...etc..

From Calgary, I'd also like to add my thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for another terrific GCVWS weekend!

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to race some of you on Friday night, and it's always nice to break into the 12's...a great drag strip!

Many thanks also for the "long distance" gifts...quite unexpected!!

Thanks to Alan, Dave and others for the photos!

And finally, it was nice just to talk with some of you about your experience and ideas for engine tuning, car set-up and wheels!  Always learn something new every year!!
