This year marked the 13th year for the Slammin' & Jammin' Auto Show. Over the past several years Slammin' & Jammin' has grown by leaps and bounds and is a "must-see" show in the south-east. AutoShows.cc had been hyping the show for the past year which ultimately landed over 1,200+ participants and over 20,000+ spectators. Considering those factors, Slammin' & Jammin' is more than just hype!

The event site at the James E. Ward Agricultural Center, located in Lebanon, Tennessee was perfect. With acres of show grounds, a burn-out pad, drag & brag strip, and one large pavilion for a killer bikini contest, who could ask for more?

The show grounds opened up on Friday morning and over 300+ autos were registered for this phenomenal show by the end of the day. On Saturday, the registration line was a few hundred vehicles deep and growing by the minute. A short walk landed us in the middle of the fairgrounds ready for the fun to start. Die-hards came early and had everything shined before the sun ever broke the horizon. There were more than 700+ vehicles and four times as many people, and it was only 9:30 in the morning!

The show consisted of a USACI sound competition held right by the pavilion on Saturday and Sunday. More than 300+ vehicles went through the SPL booth pumping out volumes that would rival a Snoop Dog concert. Around mid-day, the burnout competition began. Many rides fried tires on a metal plate with everyone on hand to watch.

Following the burnout was the much anticipated bikini contest held on the main stage under the pavilion. 25 sexy women graced the stage and put on a show that had many of us drooling for more! Around early evening came the drag and brag contest. As the show wound down on Saturday, campfires lit up in the distance from a few of the spectators camping out at the fairgrounds.

The final day of the show included a full-on hydraulics competition that featured bed dancing, hopping, and all-around jumping. At the end of the day several hundred awards were given out at the awards ceremony. Overall, this show tipped the awesome scale and ESM looks forward to covering an even greater show in 2007. Remember, to check out the AutoShows.cc website for updates on their other shows as well. Until next year...
