I was reading about the 50 years of spridgets and wondering how many of those here at the forum are planning to attend. Sounds like a once in a lifetime type of deal. Tossing it around myself.
 
Wave, have my room and Miss Agatha is already thinking about seeing other BEs. Don't let her know but I think she has been looking for a boy friend.
 
I am hoping to attend, but bringing geebee may be somewhat of a problem.

I've got a room reserved and time off approved. Hoping to have Tunebug there, but that depends on a variety of other factors.
 
Guess why they make trailers.

A Bugeye trailer is available new for just at 1000 bucks. Guess who has been looking.
 
I'm in.
 
Where's that trailer come from, Jack? I'll be needing one...
 
Frank is nudging me that direction.

SWMBO is a bit growly about spending our vacation time that way...

So please hit me with some good points to sway the WAF.

Every year my wife and I go on a trip for our anniversary. Last year was southern Colorado, this year is Las Vegas (guilty pleasure), next year will be the Sprite 50. Supposed to be a beautiful area, and the Sprite anniversary will only come around once. I think my wife finds the entire thing a bit silly, but even she agreed that a town full of little Sprites and Midgets would be worth seeing. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

My wife was understanding, since it's only once. I won't suggest any auto-realted trips for many years to come though. I figure I've used up my one pass.

These folks are close to me, maybe 40 miles, I emailed them and gave them the specs. 6x12 2 wheel, light weight, 1500 lb load.

Said come on up, if I did not like what I see they will put together one that will be right about a grand.

I do want a new one.

Will put a bit of alum on the front to keep trash off of Miss Agatha and will have a solid bed.

Look under utility trailers, after all we only 1500 lbs and do not need a real car hauler.

Lots of the lawn guys have these that will work just fine.
 
Thanks, Jack. I'm hoping to find one that can double as a yard trailer -- after all, I don't plan on towing Tunebug much. I could but a grand together in the spring, that seems reasonable. There's got to be a similar place here in Utah that can do the work.
 
Sounds like there will be some great fun to be had. And i do like the comment of a town full of Spridgets. That would be something to see. I would love to get my mainstream car road worthy enough by than rather than take bondo buggy but either would definatlly proove for a fun week. Anybody have the link to the website with all th info? I can't seem to find it.
 
Got my room reservations - got the few parts I need to get the '63 Midget ready for the long weekend!
 
yesterday, when I was talking to the Spridget guys at the CT show, they mentioned another 50th Anniversary show somewhere in the Northeast. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details. I assume that many clubs will be incorporating the 50th anniversary into their programs. I dunno!
 
I've been upgrading Turbo-Bugsy for the event and plan to drive it out from N. CA. Two new pistons, new manifold, brake rebuild, suspension check, cruise control, I-pod friendly stereo. I'm already lining up what I would want in a road-kit. Should be a heck of a drive.

Funny you mention that, now as I recall these guys said it would be in Carlyle PA. I wonder if that's the same show.
 
It is.
