storm chase car show?? WTF

[Jonathan Whitehead]

So Im in the Bizzell putting together a report for my tech writing class. Its a project in which we have to come up with a tutorial about a topic within our major. One of the requirements for the project is that it needs to have at least 24 steps. Well since I couldnt come up with anything better, I decided on storm chasing, also since I actually have been doing that recently.
Anyway I do a google search on storm chase tutorials to see if there is already one online that I can use as a template. Well one of the first couple of links that came up led me to a page on a storm chase car show. And so Im like 'are you kidding me'? And on top of that, notice the location of these pics. Ive been here 6 years now and Ive never heard of such a thing. Someone enlighten me.

Heres the link:

They've done this a few times now, not sure how many years but I know they did it last year. I made a post about it a few months back, and I think someone else made a post about it a few days before the event.

I planned on going but had to back out

I like that storm chase jeep!

Here's the link to the site about it.. http://www.norman.noaa.gov/nwf07/

The first and second Chaser Car Shows were at the NWC Weather Festivals in 2006 and 2007.

Rick Smith made a thread on the 2007 storm chaser car show a month ago --> Storm Chaser Car Show - Oct 20.

From the 2006 show: National Weather Festival and Storm Chaser Car Show

so Chris, you're just out of the loop, I guess...

Wasn't this started several years ago at the National Severe Weather Workshop at the US Postal training center? I think I remember something about it back from 2004 perhaps, though likely in different form than it exists today.
EDIT: I found a "vehicle display" deal on the NSWW2004 agenda page. LOL Not that it matters...

I would love to have my truck in there, its nothing major but i have 2 skywarn stickers on my front fenders 2 antennas and a weather lab that i can put on the roof of the truck and take off real fast if i want. if anyone wants to see pretty much the same thing to to www.sky-chaser.com his name is chris if u already dont know him from on here, go to his page go all the way down and on the left hand side u will see weather lab 1, 2, 3. i made weather lab III take a look its a real good idea! when i get pics of mine on here ill let all you guys know!

This was the second year for the car show.

There will be another one next year at about this same time at the National Weather Festival.

This year's event drew an estimated 2000 people. We will have some images on the website soon...
