Schley Brothers Reunion at Bug-In 37 One of the highlights of the Up-coming FLAT-4 BUG-IN 37, being held at the Irwindale Dragstrip on April 29th, will be the reunion of the Schley Brothers Lightning Bugs. These three legendary VW race cars were campaigned by Mark and Paul at dragstrips across the country from 1965 through 1975 . . . but they have never been seen all together until now. Mark crashed the Oval Window at Bug-In 3, at O.C.I.R. in October 1969. It was wadded up pretty good. The “Chop-top” was built from scratch and
raced for three years or so before being sold to Puerto Rican enthusiast, Diego Febles, where re-painted bright yellow it raced locally for many years. In 1973 the Schley Brothers built the Lightning Bug Dragster and raced it until late 1975, when it was also sold. Now, 37 years later, Scottish collector/racer, Russell Ritchie, has restored an exact replica of the original Lightning Bug and shipped it over for the Bug-In. It has been on display at the NHRA Museum for the last month. In the past couple years Mark and
