Like always, there were lots of options with the weekend menu, including events like the USACi triple-points competition for the stereo guys, the burnout competition for the performance-minded players in the crowd, the drag-'n'-brag events for the railers, and the HotWires neon competition that treated competitors and spectators alike to a soft colorful glow, lighting up the Tennessee sky. If that sounds a little tame to you, stand by for the hydraulics exhibition, where the Gauge Magazine air-dancing S-10 turned every which way, including loose. Expertly handled by Matt Petro, this whoop-ass truck is one of the baddest air-powered vehicles on the planet, winding up on its side within the first few moments of the routine, then with explosive force, doing it again to prove it was no accident.
The bikini contest winners received cash, trophies, and a share of more than $4,000 worth of components, donated by show sponsor MA Audio.
Continuing the excitement but just a tiny bit quieter, the bikini contest created some localized forms of global warming, with numerous temperature spikes occurring in the excited crowd before the winners were crowned. The First through Fourth Place finishers not only received trophies and cash but also shared more than $4,000 worth of high-tech stereo components, donated by the event sponsors, MA Audio. Talk about an incentive for the girls to bring their bikinis.
Charlie presented more than 250 trophies to deserving drivers, with the top award going to Jonathan Goolsby. His Best of Show-winning '98 Sonoma was recently featured on our Nov. '05 cover. Spending Habits CC won the sought after Club Participation Award. If you'd like more information on this annual event, check out the website at www.autoshows.cc for the latest information.
