Wes, welcome aboard. Please don't be intimidated, you will not meet a more helpful and friendlier group of people than there are here and you will absolutely have a great time with everyone on the runs. We were all where you are at now so just jump in. Calico in March is the next Manx Club run but there are runs from some of the other buggy groups to go on in between Manx Club events. You can also check out rbcdunebuggy.org and dsb.yuku.com. Again, welcome

Welcome Wes to the site. If you have two fiberglass buggies you must have the infection the rest of us have to these wonderful go anywhere cars. What part of the world do you call home? I am in Northern California and do try and make as many club runs as I can. We also go on other runs were a bunch of us just get together. Lots of good information here and there are no dumb questions. So ask away if you need help on something.

Your right it is a great family experience. We have kids of all ages on the runs and it has been fun watching them grow over the years. Mine are 17,18 right now and they have always been hooked We have just started their stick shift training and during the Xmas break at Pismo they will all get their shot behind the wheel on Gadget. It was funny when they asked what are wsupposed to drive at Pismo There eyes all got big when I told them" I thought you might want to drive the buggy". So it should be fun Gene C #729
