There was a  surprizing number of sport compact cars and full-size trucks in attendance; more than ever before, and more than anyone expected. Needless to say, many die-hard mini-truckers were upset. Cruising with sport compacts and full-sizes wasn't really a problem, but most of them also entered the show. Further compliants were made about the lack of parking and no Mazada class.

Aside from all the problems, Pigeon Forge was full of mini-trucks; they were everywhere! Trucks were brought to the Music Road Hotel parking lot to clean, to show, and to be judged. Many outrageous paint schemes were on hand from checkered flags to racing stripes to wild colors cris-crossing in an array of vibrant colors.

Late Saturday afternoon and evening was an especially a good time. Whether you where there to see or be seen, mini-truckin' was definitely the main event! Pigeon Forge's main drag is 6 lanes wide, and clubs parked their rides along this stretch in every spot available. Hydraulic demonstrations, booming stereos and burnouts occurred in the street all afternoon. As dusk began to fall, the neon began to glow. Now, let's take a look at some of the trucks from this year's Mini-Truckin Nationals!

Take me to the coverage!
