What a big turnout! BugIn #47' held at Irwindale Dragstrip.
Enjoy the drag race footage of VWs rolled into the Irwindale Dragstrip!

The original BugIn held in Southern California started in 1968, and it played a key role in the development of California’s VW culture. BugIn was where Cal Look, VW drag racing, Dune Buggies and many other aspects of the scene started, before spreading around the World. Today’s events provide drag races, a car show, a giant swap meet and vendor displays. Since 2018, BugIn has been scheduled in June, in conjunction with other Volkswagen events and as part of the So Cal VW week.
Starting with BugIn 32, this legendary meet took place at the Auto Club Dragway in Fontana. However, the venue remained closed during the pandemic and, sadly, it was recently announced the track would permanently shut its doors. As a result, the BugIn promoters, Periscope Enterprises, moved their happening to Irwindale Dragstrip – now the official home of the BugIn.
