Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion General Discussion Vanning World of Records

vanning has been around a long time
just as long as any other "vehicle enthusiast" group
some very impressive things have happened in the many years
so i'm wondering if there is enough "input" for a compilation
of such great things?
would you want to see it?
or help keep it current?
(an always updating record of records kind of thing)
-
some ideas are :
-
most vans at a van event
most money seen paid for a van
largest donation to a charity by a vanner or vanners
most beers consumed in the least amount of time
furthest distance a VAN has traveled for an event
largest motor seen in a van (and working not just in the back ;)
furthest distance a VANNER has traveled to an event
most events attended in a season by a van
the most people that fit in a van
most bands at an event
longest event
shortest event
longest van
shortest van (length)
shortest van (height)
tallest van
most windows in a van (for ken)
most sunroofs in a van
most speakers in a van
most headlights in a van
-
just a few ideas
-
-
of course some things will take some time to find and answer
others come to mind right away
something that should be added or removed?
any further ideas, input suggestions or trash it?
just thinking maybe some vanning "stats" could be fun

That would be fun indeed. Wish I had something to add to it!

Yes, That's a good idea! I'm sure there's plenty of records given almost 40 years since now.

Here are a few for ya!!!


Most vans-4th Midwest International Truck-In-memorial Day, 1977
7200 vans

I would put us up for most bands, same event...6 Friday, 8 Saturday, 8 Sunday...all different

I imagine Wacko and the Aussies are the long distance vanner winners

Long haul Van has to be the guy from Belgium that brought his Bedford van to the states in the 80s, or the guys from Norway with the lightshow Chevy.

Most events? I'll throw myself in that one...in 1977 I attended 25 Truckins, and also drove my van to 15 of the 24 World of Wheels shows that I worked at. Did a couple hall parties, too, and coincidently, got divorced that year!

Most beer in shortest time--

One year at Bluegrass Casons pulled in late in the afternoon--
Cason drank a 30 pack in less than an 1 1/2 hours!!

..hee hee..there was a huge nap shortly after!!!!...hee hee

Most people in a van, Farmington Mo NSVA 1977 Nationals 137 in a 1977 new empty ford van, including 4 stacked on dash

not sure how to word this? but im sure the Ground Hog party holds the record for the most ---- in the rest room . heres a clue Bil Clinton

ROGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am shocked and appalled! And aggravated that I missed it (THEM?????)
