Waterfest July 15/16

[GINA]

Anyone planning on going to this in Jersey?

It says on their webpage that judging for show starts at 9:30am. Call me naive, but does that mean you have to BE there at 9:30 or you can't show? Or can you get there anytime, but they're just letting you know it starts at 9:30?

what's the website? I'm down for a Jersey shindig.

i think it starts at 930. But the cut off is usually like 2-3 hours after that to register to be judged for showing. Ususally. That's how bugapaluza was last year I believe.

I'd be up for a Jersey show, I think. I know several NCEuro/NCdubs/NCVW people go to waterfest, since my presence at the feb fling went over so well I think I'll keep it up and video tape the drive to Jersey for waterfest

Someone needs to add Waterfest to the org calendar.

I just checked it out. July is a long way off. I think instead of being judged i might prefer to just exhibit so i can hang with no pressure. However, July is a long way off and by that time the car will be in my name which means performance mods. Actually i'll probably be saving for Iowa at that point.

awesome man! It'd be cool to check out that oval up close.

Hey....Jeff or someone....i pulled this off the Waterfest site.....discounts anyone??

Hmm...I'd like to go to Waterfest...this could be my summer for VW events. Going to the Bug Out in VA in May hopefully and Waterfest is definately an option since I'll be home during the summer. Both of those things me and my boyfriend had talked about going to last year but couldnt so it would definately be fun to go. Wouldnt be showing my car but it would be neat to see what others have done for ideas for my next car :P

[FineExampl]

Smiley dear....you can go there just to exhibit it says. It costs more money to be judged.

[Smileybug]

Do we have to exhibit at all? My car is completely stock so there is nothing really exciting to show :/

Probably not. I'm just doing it to hang out with other Beetards. I don't need to win anything. BTW, aside from a few cosmetic differences, i'm driving stock myself.

[Smileybug]

Yeah I'm just going to see what other people have done with their cars and experience a VW event...not going to win anything. Hopefully when I get my dream car in a few years, I can customize it and enter it in some stuff. We'll see.

[GINA]

Mine is mostly stock too with a couple cosmetic mods. That'll probably force me to do Mod 1 class, but I'd like to try entering it to see what the judges say. I'm just worried about the drive over, I'll get so dirty on the way! Hopefully I can see some of you guys there!

edit: smileybug, thanks for mentioning Bug Out, I'll def go to that one, it's much closer

Nobody says you have to enter to b judged silly Smileybug. I'm scared of judging personally. They allow you the option to participate and not be judged. That just sounds like fun to me.

I hope Miss Amy can make it. It's not that far from her neck o the woods. Even Alan, NYBugman (i assume he'll make it), Jim/wnab, Justin (hoping he keeps Jenna), etc.

So tell me veteran Waterfesters....what was last year like? What was good? What sucked?

This will be my first one.

[Alan From NYC]

First time for me, too. Hope to be there.

Last time I went to Englishtown was about 25 years ago, for flea marketing. (And yes, I was dragged there.) Had a great time.

[WNAB911]

I will be there too!

[FineExampl]

If anyone's interested, the Show&Go flyer has some more info on Waterfest as well.

We went to Waterfest last year... The cars at the showe were awesome, but the whole weekend turned out to be a big frat party... H2O is where we'll be at this year.

[DarkAngel1.8t]

Im going to be there all weekend....hopefully my car will be in a booth for waterfest so im gunna try to be there both days

[Pelican18TQA4]

Every year I say I'm not going to go again and yet I always end up there! Last year was the first, and most likely the last, year I'll show my car. I've attended Waterfest every year since its introduction and last year was the worst time I've ever had. Between the ridiculously high humidity and temperatures it was nothing more than a sweatfest. On top of that, the judges don't give a crap what you have done to your car, only how clean it is. C'mon, these are daily drivers for most people and this is no Concours d'Elegance!

[FineExampl]

i'll most likely be there provided i can pull together the price of admission. i will probably be showing, but not trying to win. only to hang. i looked over some judging criteria and i would have a hard time even placing. Whatever though. Hopefully i will be there with a crew, not sure yet.
