Special Show Features

The Dupont Chevy Monte Carlo NASCAR training simulator is the first to combine a hydraulic motion system and computer controls with an actual race used #24 Jeff Gordon NASCAR Nextel Cup car!
This car was actually driven in a real NASCAR race by driver Jeff Gordon. As featured on NBC's "The Today Show", and at NASCAR tracks around the country, now, you can experience the thrill of actual NASCAR racing for yourself.
From the green flag, to the checkered, you'll feel the excitement of the high speed turns and hear the sounds of the track. The #24 Jeff Gordon Dupont NASCAR training simulator is the real thing - from the wind in your face to full on-screen instrumentation. Drivers control their own race, at their own speed in one of 29 different races on the NEXTEL CUP circuit, it's the experience of a lifetime!
So get ready to put yourself on the fast track, with the #24 Jeff Gordon Dupont NASCAR Nextel Cup training simulator, appearing on tour at the International Savannah Boat Show.

The Swingin' Medallions have been based out of the Greenwood South Carolina area, since the early 1960's. Their musical roots came from listening to the early rhythm and blues acts. The music most often associated with the band is beach music, frat rock, R&B, or shaggin' music. After a few years of touring colleges from the Carolinas to the Louisiana Bayou, John McElrath took the group to Arthur Smith's Studio in Charlotte North Carolina, to record "Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)". The song became a million seller in 1966, and has been a party classic for college students for decades. "She Drives Me Out Of My Mind" and "Hey, Hey, Baby" were top 40 hits in 1966 and 1967, but "Double Shot" remains the signature song of the Swingin' Medallions.
The members of the Swingin' Medallions have changed over the past thirty years, with John McElrath being the leader and only member to be performing today. The personnel of the band has always included around eight members with at least a four piece horn section. The high energy party style stage performance of the first Medallions has been passed down to the band that performs today. The present Medallions stage show has coined them the name "The Party Band of the South."
Show Times: Sunday 1-4
