I ignored them last year and was careful to make no statements about them.
They drew 114 cars. Most of them rat rods, sand rails, dune buggies and
watercooled. We have never been able to make the watercooled people happy.
Once we even offered to set them up with their own section across the
street at the high school. Well, now we are discriminating against them,
segregating them. The head jerk is named Rob Wintercorn. He has lived in
and around Eureka for many years and he is widely disliked. He was drummed
out of the police reserves. He tried a Scion show at the Hotel but was told
not to come back after the first year. He drives a rust covered Rabbit with
plastic seats and a PLYWOOD DASHBOARD.
They took about 18 cars from us last year.
You know how much sometimes heart breaking work it is to do a GOOD show.
And then something comes out of left field that makes just so close to too
hard.
I think it might kill our show. Like I need this? I had to send a personal
mail to their President because they said on one of their many Facebook
pages that we were “collaborating”. I pay for a million dollar insurance
policy. I had emails from people asking if their entry fee covered both
shows. If they think I am paying for their insurance they are delusional
Please, pour it on. I can’t. But I would be delighted if you would cut
them a new asshole daily.

*Subject:* [tcb] More on Eureka
At the risk of starting an all-out war: Here is a copy of the text that I
just posted on the Foul Air Face Book page.
At the DubSplash show someone placed a flyer for a Foul Air show in my VW.
Understand that this show is not only the same weekend as the traditional
Eureka Show but taking place in Eureka just down the road from the
traditional show. And not only do the two events conflict in just about
every respect you are also having a parade through the streets of Eureka.
Is this a separate parade or are just planning on crashing the traditional
show's parade. In my many years of attending VW events and being involved
in the VW community never have I seen anything more unethical nor harmful
to the VW community as a whole. The long-run outcome is that you will
probably kill the long-running traditional VW show and probably your own
for the future in Eureka. I have looked at a lot of your photos and I
understand why you do not care for a "normal" VW show; it does appear that
most if not all of your cars are not show worthy and well deserve the title
of your club, i.e., FOUL.
There is a place for everyone in the VW community, and I don't mean to
rain on your parade; but what you are doing with trying to develop a
conflicting show is downright unethical and IMO will harm not only your
club but the VW community as a whole in the long run.
You want to have a show in Eureka for a bunch of rusted out VWs, schedule
it for next spring. Or take your show to the middle of Kansas.
