Good Morning All
Hello everyone. My name is Deanne, partner of Hall Ass "The Shop" and the lead person regarding the show. I want to thank Zukman (never did exchange names on the phone, sorry) for calling me yesterday. We had a pleasant talk regarding everyone bringing out their lifted vehicles. I myself have an expedition and my employee has an explorer. Not lifted or anything yet but we do have one - lol. I myself like all types of vehicles because I can appreciate the amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into someone's baby. I want to touch on some points that I read in previous posts.
There is a lifted truck class, an underconstruction truck class, best engine and best suspension enginereering class as well that you all can compete in. Not to mention people's choice. The judges are people that I choose and feel that can do the best job. They will not be random people judging the best of classes.
The main reasons we are holding this show is for one to raise funds for the auto shop program, which is in real bad need of help - and to let the next generation of kids see a vast array of vehicles and not of one "type". We want to expose the next generation to different types of vehicles that people enjoy and build. We hope to get everyone to appreciate the amount of work that goes into these vehicles - even if it isn't their type of vehicle. Too many young kids these days just go for a certain type like "slammed trucks" and never give anything else the time of day. We want to teach them different. We need to get the next generation involved and support the last remaining auto shops out there because some kids aren't the typical "book smart" kids and they need hands on learning like my 14 yr old son. Without auto shop programs, where will the next generation of kids go to learn how to work on vehicles? Def. not in their apartment parking lots. Vehicles keep kids out of trouble and gives them something productive to do.
There isn't a lifted truck on the temp. flyer because I didn't have a picture that I could legally use. All those vehicles you see on the flyer as ones we have built, repaired or restored in one way or another and were good enough picture quality to use. The final artwork will be like those regular cool car show hand drawn designs.
As for loud systems, we are going to try and keep the levels down because we do have a live dj and a band that will be playing. Besides no one wants to miss the announcements for the raffles and other stuff planned.
If you want to bring rocks etc for a functional display, I will need to have the measurements and some sort of picture to run by Kmart and make sure I have the ok from them. I personally think it is a very cool idea. I will be over there taking photos, not to mention the other coverage taken. Both my sons are stoked at the idea that you may come out and show off your suspension. My 14 yr old has already been in magazines for his welding on the Redondo Beach Police Dept. Landspeed RX7 vehicle. He is "very" stoked
I want to say thank you to Zukman for contacting me. It was a pleasure to talk with you yesterday
