Celebrating 60 Years: Unveiling Old Red Remastered at Big Bear Bash
July 25, 2024
The Manx Club Big Bear Bash is always a highlight of our annual activities, but this year’s event held special significance as we celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Meyers Manx in the beautiful setting of Big Bear Lake, CA.
Making History: The Largest Big Bear Bash Ever
This year, we saw over 300 buggies and 600 participants, making it the largest Big Bear Bash to date. The festivities began on Wednesday, July 10th, with early registration. Thursday and Friday featured a variety of runs, from laid-back street rides to extreme off-road adventures. Saturday was packed with excitement, including the annual Show and Shine, a dessert potluck sponsored by Meyers Manx, and the awards ceremony. The event concluded on Sunday with the Parade around Big Bear Lake, led by Winnie Meyers in the iconic Original Old Red.
Relaunching an Icon: Introducing the Remastered Old Red Kit
To kick off our 60th Anniversary celebrations, we proudly launched the all-new Remastered Old Red Kit at the Big Bear Bash. Manx Club members had the exclusive first opportunity to purchase this limited-edition kit, which pays tribute to the Original Old Red while being modernized for today’s kit-building enthusiasts. With only 24 kits serialized and badged, half of them were sold within the first week. Inventory is still available, but don’t wait—click the link below to secure your own piece of Meyers Manx history before they’re all gone!
