04/09/2017 — Thanks once again to my friend Bruce who snapped these pics of Saturday night’s finale slideshow at the 17th Annual Hot Wheels Nationals Convention in Pittsburgh. He was the one that sent me pictures of the RLC Party FEP Sneaks as well. Also, props to his son, Owen for taking 1st place in the Kids Custom Contest with his Custom Hiway Hauler. NOTE: The logo on the sides is the Norfolk Southern Railroad logo since Owen loves trains. Great job Owen! Without further ado, here is what was shown to the attendees:
