The BUG-IN is an event held once a year in Southern California. No matter what your VW interest is, the BUG-IN has it all. You will find 1/4 mile drag racing, both vintage and custom car shows, and not to mention a huge swap meet and Vendor Display. Whether your a gear head, vintage freak or just all around VW nut, you will not be disappointed with what you're bound to find at the BUG-IN. The BUG-IN was first started in 1968 at the old Orange County International Raceway in Southern California. 31 events were held over a 15 year period at the historic OCIR until the fateful day the track was closed in 1983. Over twenty years later the event made it's return to Southern California in the Spring of 2005, continuing right where it left off with BUG-IN 32. Three short years later in 2008, BUG-IN 33 took place right back at California Speedway in Fontana, and just this past May we held BUG-IN 34. With our date already set for next year, the BUG-IN events are once again becoming a household name. Hope to see you all out at the track!
BUG-IN 35, is set for Sunday May 2, 2010.

Car Show Information...

The BUG-IN is home of one of the largest VW Car Shows in the world. All years and models of VWs are welcome to participate in the show no matter what your shape or size. Our car show is divided into two separate categories; Vintage and Custom. Among those categories are different classes split up by model and year. It is completely up to the participant whether they want to be judged in the Custom class, or the Vintage Class.

Each participant will receive a judging card, and asked to vote for one car in each class except the class they are entered in. Once completed, the judging card is returned to the car show registration booth, and the votes are counted. For each class there is a 1st place and Runner up plaque awarded.
