local clubs going to distant shows

[call me mr grinch]

Are any of the "top notch" car clubs ging to any far away shows in the '05 season, like SHOWFEST, GATOR DRAG, BLOOD DRAG, SLAMMIN-N-JAMMIN, etc ? I was just curious...

[Samir]

I know some people head out to Slammin-N-Jammin because it's so close by, but I haven't even heard of the others.

wheres snj? Im always down for a car show

[The Prez.]

Slammin and Jammin is in Lebanon, TN. Showfest is in Greenville, MS. The others I really don't know about.

[Samir]

How good is the Greenville one? I know what Slammin and Jammin is like, and it usually is pretty good, although more on the truck side.

[The Prez.]

The last 2 Showfest in Greenville have been great. It's like a melting pot show. Alot of cars from the East Coast, with just as many from the West. The number of magazine quality vehicle on the showgrounds is amazing. They don't have a stereo competion, so it's just show what you brung and enjoy the weekend. The cruise scene is awesome. They allow you get out on the highway and just do just about anything but burn out. So you can try to fight the traffic or just set around and watch 4-800 of the baddest rides drag, hop, three-wheel, etc. down the highway, with 10-20,000 people !!! It's has been rated the best show for the last 2 years by many of the top magazines.

[Samir]

Wow that sounds really cool! How do they get the whole highway like that? Is it official or do they just cruise down it? It sure would be nice to have something like that around here.

We have been told that this is the largest single income that the local people have all year. The club that puts it all on is Assorted Miniatures (I think clubassorted.com). I guess they get permission from the local government, to have them let us run amuck in their town. This is somewhat similar to what Slammin' and Jammin' is except they aren't as forgiving up there in TN. I talked with a local Sherrif up there last year and he said that the city of Lebanon had over 92% of their force on the srtip that Saturday night, and had like rented the next 3 closest counties of deputies. Showfest is the greatest show that I have been to in the last several years. It is a mix of everything, euro, mini-truck, fullsize(low and high), and old school too, but it's really the best quality that you'll ever see in one place.

[Samir]

Sounds like a very unique event with the best of the best for all. You know where we can see any pics?

[The Prez.]

Most of the big car websites had pictures. Sportruck.com, layinbody.com, streetsource.com. It's even supposed to be bigger and better this year.

[Samir]

Cool. I'll check it out when I get a chance. I checked out www.clubassorted.com too, but they didn't have pics.

I have a ton of pics that have yet to be posted, many from last year. The goal is to get them up asap, but so is getting the site completed. Of course, I also need to clear the current 10 day backlog. It keeps me busy, I can say that much.

[The Prez.]

Samir, You just keep up the great work !!! I think you do an outstanding job. Thanks for all that you do.

[Samir]

Thank you. I try to do my best. Even when you've dedicated your life to it, there is so much going on that it is difficult to get a grasp on all of it.

Part of completing the site will involve recruiting a staff to help with the site. But I still have to think of the compensation packages considering I currently don't have any cash flow.

[The Prez.]

Well I don't know much, but anything I can do to help just let me know. My crew and I will do what we can.
