52nd Annual National Truck-In (Van Nats) - Part 7

Continuing coverage of the Show & Shine field at the 52nd Annual Van Nats...






Road Toad!




Wing twins!!!  I see they riveted the top together.  When I got my Cal-Jammer, the adhesive had let loose but I opted to remove and replace the adhesive versus drilling and riveting.  This is certainly more permanent.











Such a cool vintage airbrush scene:



For a company-owned van, the Slow & Low van was pretty well-done.





Goat!


Robert's:




I really like 4x4 lifted vans:










I had to step away from the show field to get the R/C races all set up.  I made the ramps and obstacles and brought a ton of cones to lay out a track.


Once I was satisfied with the layout and I completed a few laps with my Lunchbox, I headed back.  Races would take place after Show & Shine was over.


I think this van is just so cool.  If I could have my pick of the show field and bring one home that wasn't mine, it would probably be this one:





Time for fisheye lens interior shots!












Moon Units had such a strong showing of vans.  Purple Passion was no exception.












While a fisheye lens is never flattering, Aaron's shirt was amazing.











Viper Van:

















Vandalized:





After leaving the show field, it was time for the RC races.  There were 2 classes and 2 awards up for grabs.  We had a lot of people come out and participate, which was great.  We ran 2 groups from each glass.  Top 2 from the first races competed in the finals for each class.



I didn't get a lot of photos because I was trying keep things semi-organized with help from others in the club.  Big thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who helped be a lap counter/spotter or flip vans over when they crashed.  Once it was done, there was a bit of a free-for-all and the building got really dusty.  I hope people had fun.  I know I still need to blow the dirt and dust out of my Lunchbox with an air compressor.




Lots more from Friday to go - we still have bands and Bright & Shine!
