Hay was up with the the Towd in the dune buggy class?
the anonser said park your car by class or it wont be judged with that class he was parked with the sand rails ?
best I can think is when he registered they asked what he had and he said a myers manx towd and they put him down as a manx
his car is very nice definatly a winner
but I feel like we got cheated out of a hard earned
cup for our boys
next time we should register as a
pre 1968, modified, vw bettle, vert, meyers, manx, kitcar ,special intrest ,type V that should cover us for all the classes

I had a good time, got to check out the lay of the land, so to speak.
The cars were good and the people were nice.
Really glad I got the chance to go and meet the guys who I talk to on the web.....it is an honor to meet guys like , Dale from Corpus Christy, Bobby of Texas buggies, Neil from Hawkeye buggies, Bill Knesek, Greg- of course, saw Faron in his Mini, but didn't get the chance to talk to him.

I wondered about the Towd. I understand it's a Meyer's, but I didn't think it was considered a Manx.

[Patrick]

Well that same car was put in the Kit Car class last year and I lost to it. I thought it was a sand rail myself.. I guess he wanted to call it a Manx this year so he could win again.

[David O']

Actually, the toad was and is a dune buggy. It was made different due to the nature of the material that the originals were made of.
The mistakes made about those today, is that not people are old enough to remember what the dune buggy craze was all about.

[blackthree4me]

my bad on the wording on the above statement
I was not trying to say he was not a buggy, just not a manx type
I beliveve my score card on my car said MANX
I should have said was up with the the towd in the MANX class?
please forgive me
just kiddin

I would love to have one. he did what I would have done.
the frigin blower is way far out

The Tow'd was designed for Baja. In my opinion it's not a "tub buggy." The tow'd is more of a rail with fiberglass seat area and hood. Yes it's built by Meyers but then so is the Manx SR...is that a tub otr a kit? It and the Tow'd aren't a Manx or a Manx Type.
Here's the Class definition for Manx and Manx Type for the classic web site MANX & MANX CLONES - Short wheelbase tub buggies.
I think the Tow'd was in the wrong class....but that's just me

[Carlton Dollery]

Steve I have to agree with you on all said, I was surprised about the tow'd also. I assumed it was in the rail section also. It was a sweet car, but had no idea we were competing against it. Anyway enough said about that, I have to say that I was really impressed with the show, very well organized and a great place. Got to chat with alot of nice folks, had a great time and saw a alot of really nice cars.

[buggyryan]

man the show was incredible, much better than ennis. i also got to put faces to alot of y'all and had a great time. will have my buggy there next year for sure. oh by the way what is a towd? is it code for something? all the buggys were kickin. answered alot of questions and raised more after seeing all the bugs and buggys

[David O']

It was a name given to the car because the front of the car had a tow ball built into it and all you did was pick up the front of the car and set it on your tow ball to take the car where you wanted it to be. It was later that the cars were made street legal.

[blackthree4me]

I thought it was because it looked like a towd LOL

Anybody have the winners of the show? Anybody bring home the bacon?

[Texasbuggys]

Hopefully somebody from the club got something! I enjoyed the show even with a hurt back it was great. Enjoyed visiting with everyone at the show and even the night before hanging out with Chris, Carlton, Jimmy and a whole bunch of T-Bird guys at the hotel! I wished I would have had more time to visit with everyone. It was good to see everyone and even got a little grease on me, thanks David Head! LOL I had a great time, good to see you again David O, Steve O, Patrick, Lori, Greg, Neil, and a lot of other folks that i don't have time to mention here. It was sure great to get to just take it easy and visit with everyone. And for you guys that ordered bodies, chassis, and parts, they are coming soon. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Hey Steve O, love the covered wagen man that rocks! The trailer setup that Jimmy and Donna Davis put together is awesome for anyone who has not seen it, next show grab Jimmy and get him to walk you through how he can put two glass buggies into a 20 enclosed trailer, he made it look way to easy! Also a howdy out to Buggyryan and Boog! Good to see you guys and the Mini is rad with the flames!

[Texasbuggys]

[Texasbuggys]

Bobby, not sure if you call it dedication or a slacker saving it for the last minute. In answer to your question.....I did submit a 14 page paper although it should have been 20 pages. So, yes, I suppose I turned in something. Thanks for asking!
