DubDash 6 presented by White Allen European Automotive Group

I'm excited to tell you all about Dub Dash, the biggest little show you've never been to. The Dub Dash started as a last minute idea to end the car show season with a bang in fall of 2002. That first year we had about 88 cars total and almost every one of them ran the Dash. When we got back, we had a BBQ and "show" and hung out till well after the sun went down, and agreed that the Dash should be an annual event.

Location is key to anything, and Dayton, OH is the perfect area in the Midwest to host a show. We have interstates 75, 70, 35, 675, and many other major arteries that convene here from all points. We regularly pull a good sized caravan from the Uberdubs group in Indianapolis, Indiana, the CVOL group from Louisville, Kentucky, MIVE group from Michigan, some other northern Ohio groups, such as fatdubs and dub-society, and Volkswagen/Audi enthusiasts as far as Tennessee.

We plan on keeping the registration fees the same, but will charge a SMALL additional fee for camping and swap spaces to make up some of the costs we're sure to encounter.

We've never had to pay for a venue in the past, or if we did, it wasn't very much.
We also have to take out a pretty good sized insurance rider for the first time, and we're not sure exactly how much it will cost.
Together, this will increase our bottom line significantly, but should be well worth the sacrifice.

I'm SUPER_STOKED about having this opportunity and think this will be our big break to pave the way to being the nationally recognized show that we should be....

I have a ton of other cool stuff in the works too, like getting a plane in the air for the Dash, and most importantly, getting the event covered in the media.

Live bands will play the meet & greet and there will be a garage available to anyone having car problems.....it's only a one bay, so hopefully not alot of people will need to use it....
If not, maybe someone can host a tech session...

Since I lived in Florida for a few months last year and have a good Florida contingent on the Dojo, we should expect a few people to make the long trek from down South this year too.

Also, this will be the first year we will have major magazine coverage.

The Dub Dash has always been a more local, grassroots type show, and it slowly gets bigger and better as word of mouth travels. We have a lot of unique things we bring to the table, including the one-off local cars, which push the envelope of performance and style in many respects, but yet mainly fly under the radar with little or no media coverage, just like the Dub Dash itself.

While there may be a few reasons for this, the main one is simple.
We have a tight-knit group of people that build some of the best, most thought-out cars out there, but we don't feel it is imparitive that the world knows about them, so we keep them to ourselves....the little club that's not really a club.

There are countless cars in the club that should be featured in many publications, but only a couple of them have reached a well-known status throughout the community, DubDojo's very own Project X for example, which was bought from 1552 Design when they sold off their assets when they closed shop in 2003.

The Dub Dash has a great vibe and mix of good people. Almost every person that attends is a complete enthusiast, so you'd be hard-pressed to find a car in the show that doesn't have at least a few modifications on it.....in other words, there are NO stock cars at the Dub Dash.

The Dub Dash is open to ANY European car, regardless of year, make, or model....
This makes for a very interesting variety and show field.
In addition to the air and watercooled VW's in attendance, we've had new and old Porsches out, as well as Mini Coopers, Mercedes, Saab's, Volvo's, BMW's, and so on....
We hope to have a good turnout from Mike Barton and his Mini Cooper registry.

We're always changing the formula slightly to keep the things interesting too, such as switching up locations, routes, and objectives on the rallye, making sure things don't get stale, and changing the judging and awards for the show side of things.

No two years of the Dub Dash are exactly alike....in fact, far from it!

We've held the event at some really unique locations, including the TajMaGaraj museum, which is filled with one of the most comprehensive Porsche and VW car collections in the world.

This year we are proud to host the event in Dayton as usual, and hope to be THE show of the season to be at in the next few years, without diluting the experience along the way.

Help make history and live it at the same time!

Where else can you, camp, party, make and be with friends, DRIVE and ENJOY your car with the same like-minded enthusiasts' AND get some of the best, most thoughtful awards/prizes, best event shirts, and so many good memories in one place?

We award the top 25 cars, regardless of make or model, along with some really off the wall awards, such as "Most Brake Dust", "Baldest Tires", etc., as well as best of show and best club participation.....that's right....we don't break cars up into classes like most shows. We let you park with the people you came with!

We also don't care if your car is sparkling clean....our judges aren't anal about the stupid details and the clutter you put all around it.....they look at the whole picture....and the judges aren't just pulled randomly off the street....they are genuine CAR GUYS that know what to look for.....they know what kind of work goes into some of these cars, and look at the performance side of things.
The last thing they care about is seeing if their hair looks good in the reflection of your paint.

Considering this and the nature of a rallye, we don't care how many bugs are splattered on your front bumper either.....we just hope you have an unforgettable time out on the drive.

The Dub Dash is not a race, rather it's a chance to get out and enjoy our cars and some nice Ohio roads and autumn scenery.

We've had a shift over the years as to how the rallye is run, going from just a group cruise, Timed distance, Poker run, to a free for all cruise.

The event is generally held in October and the main event is held on Sunday, with a meet & greet party the night before.

The sponsors are mostly local businesses, who are also enthusiasts themselves, first and foremost.

Most importantly, they are also loyal to us by supporting us and our hobby, and most will give a discount if the DubDash is mentioned at the time of purchasing parts or services for your beloved ride.

In the end, you have a whole region of people of all ages that have one thing in common.....the love of European cars and all the things that go with it....in essence, we are one huge extended family and this is like a reunion.....a big-ass reunion BASH!

We usually have an average of 125 cars at the show and roughly 90 run the Dash.

We should expect 200+ cars this year easily. Hope to see you in October!!
