This is a fun (if hot) event at the Sacramento Raceway.  Not usually a lot of Vanagons but lots of 1st/2nd generation buses.  Usually I bring my Vanagon but my son wants to go up in my father's VW Thing.  The drag racing is fun to watch. Look for a yellow 1973 Thing with license "MYVW181."  


It just occurred to me that maybe driving the Thing is a good way to mark Memorial Day; my father saw his first VW (partially wrecked, as in it was strafed and half turned over) in Germany in May of 1945.  A guy in his unit was going to try to take it apart and ship it home; don't know if he ever succeeded.
