This
was my first time attending the Slammin n Jammin car
and truck show and it definitely won't be my last year! The
show was
presented by Falken Tire and featured many vendors selling all kinds of
accessories! It was a 7 hour drive for me from Concord, NC to
Lebanon, TN
where the show was held. I trailer’d my Impala through the
Blue Ridge
Parkway Mountains... Not fun! Luckily my Chevy
2500HD was up to the
task!
After I pulled into the show on Saturday, I realized I was in for a
real
surprise! The line to get in took almost an hour to drive
through.
There were hundreds of show cars already in the show area and
I was in
line with about 100 more, with plenty more rides showing up through the
day.
Fortunately this show was help in an event center that was
more than
adequate to hold all of the killer show cars and trucks!
The rain held off all day and everyone had their rides sparkling in the
overcast weather. The humidity was almost drowning me, but I
pulled
through just like everyone else. The rain from the previous
night helped
keep the dust level to a minimum so I didn't have to keep dusting the
Impala
off every ten minutes. I was glad to have some time to walk
around and
get some decent pictures of a lot of the cars and trucks that were
there.
Just after I got my Impala to what I call clean (aka spotless!), I was
approached
by Elite Streets Magazine and was asked if I would be interested in
having my
car in a photo-shoot with this gorgeous model. I was like,
"Hell
Yeah!" An hour later, I brought the car back to where I was
before
and got back to cleaning so I could go ahead and get my Impala judged.
The judging at Slammin n Jammin was done by what is called,
"drive-through
judging." This is where you actually drive you r vehicle
through a
set aside lane and judges walk around your car to take note of all your
mods
and things like cleanliness, quality of build, uncommon ideas, etc.
I
among many other people don't really like this kind of judging because
not
matter how clean you get your vehicle, some dirt will
get on it by the
time you get to the judges. However, it would be a lot to ask
of the
judges to walk to every car in the show field to judge every car since
there
were over 1000 entries this year!
I'm
proud to say that I took home first
place in domestic RWD at Slammin n Jammin!
Check out the pics below to see some of the
sickest rides at the show!
There wasn't enough time in the day for me to get a picture of every
ride, but
I'm sure you will enjoy the ones that I did get!
I'll see you
there next year!
