Shell Rotella SuperRigs 2014: Day 1

The 2013 SuperRigs "Best in Show" winner William Rethwisch of Tomah WI parked his prize-winning 2012 Peterbilt 389 out in front of the entrance to Shell's 2014 event.

Dave & Elizabeth Bicek of Strantanville, PA, came to SuperRigs to show off their Kenworth tractor and bulk trailer.

Perennial SuperRigs competitor Lindamood Heavy Hauling out of Irving TX brought this classy sky-blue and white tractor and dump trailer to the 2014 event.

Detailing work to make competing rigs shine began almost as soon as the trucks arrived on side at the zMAX dragway.

Rethwisch brought another one of his fantastic creations to the 2014 SuperRigs competition; the cab interior alone is a work of art.

Logano Trucking out of Connecticut brought a host of classic trucks and other vehicles for visitors to feast their eyes upon.

Canadians always make a welcome appearance at SuperRigs; this fine piece of highway iron is operated by W. A. Baker Trucking LTD out of Niagara Falls, Ontario.

This year's SuoerRigs winners will parade their vehicles down alongside the zMAX dragstrip in front the grandstands seen here in the background.

Though the day before SuperRigs 2014 sported nothing but sunshine, heavy rain would follow on the first day of the competition.

The appropriately named "Dirty Boys" mobile cleaning firm did brisk business at SuperRigs; in this case giving OOIDA's new Western Star-built rig a good wash.
