The Goofball, now in its 7th year, draws VW Enthusiasts, or “dubbers” as they’ve come to be called, from all over Tennessee and its surrounding states and has even brought participants from as far as Wisconsin.
Beginning in Memphis, the rally makes a stop in Murfreesboro, where participants from Clarksville and Nashville join. Announcements are made and magnets are handed out to the drivers and we’re off to the next stop in Chattanooga, where the Knoxville leg meets us for a final fuel up and prize giveaway before heading south toward Helen, Ga. While arrival and departure is on a strict schedule, speeding and reckless driving are strongly discouraged.

After making our way through several small towns, our route takes us along Hwy 129, which is the highway that the world famous Tail of the Dragon resides on. The winding roads give drivers a real treat before delivering the rally just outside of Helen, where literally THOUSANDS of other Volkswagens & Audis are arriving for one of the greatest events in the country.

In more recent years, we’ve accepted sponsors to make the event even more enjoyable to our participants, providing gas cards and other prizes to raffle winners.
In addition to curating the event, I provided the logo for Goofball Rally, design for magnets, t-shirts, event fliers, banner ads, etc.
