This year's Show & Shine will be similar to that of years past.

And for those that have never attended a nationals, this thread will explain exactly what we mean by "Show & Shine" It is just as it sounds  (y)

We will all gather just before 10am on Saturday Morning on the hotel lot, or a secondary lot depending on attendance (TBD at a closer date) When we get a final count on who will be there, we will determine the line up and how we will arrange the trucks.

This is a chance for you to showcase your truck through cleanliness, or mods. We want to see what you have to offer!

You do not have to participate in the event if you so choose, but I would love to get all of the trucks lined up. Even if you are not participating in the judging, please join us so we can get all of the trucks together!

Charity raffle tickets will be sold during this time for the raffle held later in the evening.

There will be awards in various categories for those that want to participate in the show!

The judges will be determined before the GTG, but as of now, we haven't selected one yet. These awards will be given out at the group dinner that evening.

Award Categories:


Best overall 1st generation (02-06)

Best overall 2nd generation (07-13)

Best Street Avalanche

Best Offroad Avalanche

Best Stock Avalanche

Best Overall Modified Avalanche

Best in Show

Kids Choice

Judges Choice


                                                                                                                                                                             


We will also be continuing to collect various items for the Carolinas Healthcare System, Levine Childrens Hospital


This is a chance for us to gather and check out each others trucks. Ask about various mods, showcase our best mods, give each other tips and tricks on detailing, etc. But most of all HAVE FUN!

We are one big avalanche family and this is our chance to line our trucks up and show off our club!

If anyone has any questions regarding the event, please don't hesitate to PM me! Also, if you have anything at all you would like to donate to nationals whether it be for the charity raffle, or simply something to give away, feel free.
 
I remember I got up at 0830 last year, and had to scramble to find a car wash

I'm sure one of the guys in the area will have all of that info ready for you in the welcome bags, if not maybe they can at least let you know there..
I know CLT has a lot of decent places to get taken care of..
 
Maybe jeff will have his corvette detailer come down.

I think it started at 9 am ....

I want to be started by 10! Or a little before. That should give everyone a chance to get cleaned up and give us a couple hours to show and shine, without being out in the direct sun for a super long time.

As always, I'm down for the show.  I'm a little concerned though, I think I might be lacking a little in the shine department  ???

Looks like there should be some shade on the East end of the parking lot. Hopefully the trees behind the hotel can provide some cover. Or depending on how many the North section looks good as well. Guess that all can be figured out after everyone gets in
 
And if we have too many, a wide open parking lot across the street is available.

I am going to feel it out when we get there. I know that not everyone participated last year, but I would still like to get all the trucks lined up even if they aren't showing their truck.

Also: I am bringing a 12x12 canopy that can be extended to 16x16

My EZ up hasn't been opened in about 5 years, but it should still be OK. if you want me to throw it in and bring it down, shoot me TXT. I think it's a 10x10
