Getting a chance to see many of the vans on only seen on screen and meeting many of the vanners on here! Winning a trophy for the van always helps!

Also stolling around in the rain was fun! Glad alcohol was involved.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserve body,
but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and proclaiming

"Wow What a Ride"

I just love the Natz from cruzin on my cooler, vanning.com meet & greet, to meeting new people, to seeing old friends, to drinking too much wine (lol).
The whole Natz experience from start to finish is just wonderful. Even the thunder boomers on Saturday night were wild.

Thank you Moonlite/Performance. Great Job!

The Nats are where I can reconnect with Vanning. Even though the numbers are smaller then a generation ago the spirit is still alive. It was great to see all the vans in the show. I enjoyed being a judge. It is a great way to really see some really cool rides. The van show is an important part of Vanning because it encourages people to work on their Vans. I'm sure that almost everybody that saw the show came away with ideas and plans for their own Vans. Lawn chair volleyball with TRV was fun.(wait till next year)The best part was the people. Hope to see ya'll and more next year in NY
