Truck Show 2011

June 10, 2011 - On a beautiful Friday afternoon, Li’l Red Express and Warlock Truck owners arrived at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Newport News, Virginia, , for the 16th Annual Li’l Red Express and Warlock Owners Club Truck Show and reunion weekend. The weekend was off to a great start as club members and guest met at the Hospitality tent located adjacent to the Holiday Inn & Suites hotel listening to music and enjoying great food.  The party provided an excellent opportunity for club members to mingle and meet other members who were there for the first time.   We received a lot of thanks and compliments from members saying our show team did a great job under the circumstances (the two inches of rain that fell in one hour on Friday night) and Patti also gets a big thanks for standing in the wind sweep rain making sure the buffet stayed dry.

 
    

   

  

On Saturday, June 11th, we had beautiful weather for the show, there were 29 trucks entered in this year’s show, and a total of thirty two in the judging field.  Two trucks were judged in the NALRETO Concourse Class.  The show ended at 3:30 PM. following the awards presentation.  Skip Gibbs and Jesse Lane headed up the event this year as show coordinators; John Roberts organized the NALRETO Concourse Class.
