Just got the following email from Florida:

Custom Vans Revive the '70s at Food Lion AutoFair

Check out this show we will be attending in 2 weeks, they did a great write up. We will be there with Flamed from Ohio and White Lightning from Florida. We sent them several pictures of other vans and let them choose. This is a great show, we have been there with The Lil Redd Wrecker one time and the Nomad R What another time we suggested the Van theme last time we were there and they went with it, but didn't call anyone till the end of July, we didn't know to advertise it at the Nats, but we want to let you know it's happening. Thanks, Jr&Glenda

That's a cool write up. They can always have their own van show wherever they go.

Looks like Jr got new shots taken of his fleet for the show. Seems he'll have all 3 of them there.




Ron from Ohio is headed down with Jellodick as his co-pilot in Flamed as well:

In that area that is a HUGE show.They use the infield of the Lowes (Charlotte) Motor Speedway.

I hope that some body that is close and can attend that show can take some pictures of the Vans there.....

Another fine example of vanners invading car shows to promote vanning!!!!!

........Wookee

Great news, glad we are getting more PR...looks like a blast!

Just got some more info on this show that might help give us a better idea of what this is all about.
The show is huge, it's one of the largest in the southeast with over 100,000 people in attendance. The indoor portion of the show features about 40-50 vehicles. This is where these 5 vans will be. That portion of the show is by invite only.
It would be great to have more vans show up for the outdoor portion of the show. Having these 5 vans featured front and center like this is pretty amazing.
If your in the area do go by and check it out.

I will be at the show this weekend.

I will be at AutoFair too; with my Impala SS club.

Got some pictures from the show just before I have to leave for work. I'll post this one for now and the others later:




This gives you a better idea of what this display is all about. Whenever I've been to huge shows like the Syracuse Nationals with 6000 cars and trucks, the ones that I remember the most are those that were featured inside.
