43rd Annual Van Nationals Late Models
Altamont, ILSaturday, August 8, 2015
Hello y'all, This is the 2nd article on the 43 VanNationals in Altamont, Illinois. This one features the late model Vans. Sorry but the pictures aren't like going to a cruise-in. We had lots of rain and mud. But the show went on as planned.The people who put this event on over came many problems and still had a since of humor.Paulette and I rented a cart so we could get around the large fair grounds. They also had 8 person carts as bus service ( came by every 20 minutes ) so you could get to where you wanted to be.These came in handy when the beautiful green grass & dry roads turned in to Chocolate Pudding !!! Hay!!! this just made into an adventure. but it did keep the tractor and tow rope busy.There were 550+ Vans-- that is over a 1000 people having fun !! Paulette and I are old time Vanners and Classic car people so I know y'all can look at these vehicles and enjoy the work and love put into them. Till next time-- Dale& Paulette Satterlee-- Reporters for Western Kentucky
