Spring Break Nationals 2010 – Daytona Beach, FL
Spring Break Nationals is a hit car show, audio sound off, and sound quality competition that has always been a great event to attend, showcase, and cover. Team Allstars has always had a huge presence at this even and this year the International Allstars represented well bringing home top honors in all fields in which we competed!
There were vehicles in attendance from all over the country and abroad. There were license plates such as California, New York, Canada, and Puerto Rico as well as many others. This year’s Spring Break Nationals was co hosted with the Funkmaster Flex Custom Car & BIke Show which brought out the likes of Will Castro from Unique Autosports and FMF himself. The car show had a great variety of vehicles ranging from VIP styled Lexus’ to show stopping vendor builds by JL audio, Sony, Hybrid Audio, etc… Everything from the daily driver with few modifications to the full out show cars which grace automotive magazine covers were out on display.
Daytona Beach, FL being the backdrop to this fabulous event proved to be a great venue location. People from all walks of life were in attendance and they came by the thousands. The convention hall hosted three separate shows which included the FMF Car Show, Sound Pressure Competition, and the Sound Quality Competition. Audio competitions were hosted and judged by IASCA and MECA.
Over the whole weekend the International Allstars were busy mixing and mingling with all the vendors, models, and fellow automotive enthusiasts as well as competing in both car audio and car show competitions. Mr. John Marsh defended his titles in the audio competitions by obtaining these awards: IASCA National Champion in Sound Quality, 1st Place National Champion for the 3rd consecutive time (2007-2008-2009), MECA Master Class 1st Place Sound Quality, MECA Best of Show in Sound Quality (Highest Overall Sound Scores of the Event)! Mr. Peter Lutz faired well too! In his 1st ever time competing in car audio sound quality competition he took home MECA 1st Place in the Stock Class as well as kicking butt by placing 3rd in the Street Asian Class in the Funk Master Flex Tuner Jam Car show! Mr. Scott Buwalda in his freshly unveiled radical Silvia took home the IASCA North America Championship 1st Place Expert award as well as taking top honors with the Best of Show Funk Master Flex Tuner Jam Car Show! And doing the event coverage like always was Mr. Tony Nguyen with his trusty Nikon capturing all the show action as well as candid moments! Awesome representation from the Allstars at this year’s Spring Break Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida for sure!
On to the coverage/documentary/(lol you know how I do this)
We left in the wee early hours of Friday morning hoping to beat traffic and get into Daytona at a decent time. I left Suwanee to roll to meet up with Mr. Marsh and the Allstars dually/trailer in Cumming. We saddled up in the dually and were on the road pretty fast. Here’s our gameplan.
