16th Annual Slammin' &
Jammin'....presented by AutoShows.cc
Back for the 16th time, Slammin' & Jammin' has become a time honored
tradition in the town of Lebanon, TN. I don't know much about
Lebanon but I do know that it is the location for the very first
Cracker Barrell ever built and we visit it every Sunday after the
show. We have been coming here for Slammin' many years now and every
time it is an awesome experience. How could you get bored at a show
that offers well over 1000 rides to check out throughout the
weekend. Not to mention the burnout contest, hydro and air show and
of course their infamous bikini contest that had 26 entrys in it
this year. The show offers every style of vehicle imaginable from
cover trucks to the latest donk style rides. All the trends come
together here and mesh very well. I dont remember ever hearing there
being any kind of problems at this show. It is focused on families
that want to come out and enjoy the weekend festivities and is kept
that way on the mic too. One thing that I noticed here, as well as
many other shows, is people playing stereos, especially the whole
megaphone under the car thing, with the most vulgar music you can
imagine. Now dont make me out to be an old fogie (sp) because I love
a cd full of nasty ass music just as much as the next guy, but this
is a respect thing for the regular people who are out walking the
shows with their kids. I know clean versions of songs sometimes
suck, but if you are playing it to show the music side of your
system then it doesnt matter what the words are. Lets just have a
little respect for our sport and show that we are somewhat
responsible individuals that can take ahold and change the face of
the hobby/life we love. Anywho, people were saying that since they
weren't able to have the draggin' contest and couldn't allow on
grounds camping, that the show was gonna suffer. Let me tell you
first hand that this didn't happen. The show was just as live and
bumpin' as it always has been and with a new voice on the mic
echoing out throughout the show, it made it that much better. The
voice was DropJaw's very own Big Mike and hopefully he will be back
for many years to come as the voice of Slammin' & Jammin' Hope you
all enjoy the coverage and sorry if I bored you to death with this
writeup. See ya at the shows.
