From the people who bring out their incredible rides, to the families and friends who spend the day with us, to the volunteers, vendors, musicians, staff, sponsors, and community members working behind the scenes, this event is truly about the people who show up year after year and make it something special.

We love seeing the smiles, the reunions, the new friendships, and so many familiar faces throughout the day. These are just a few of the people who made Thunder on the Mountain 2026 what it was.

Presenting your 2026 Thunder on the Mountain BEST IN SHOW! 🏆🔥

Congratulations to Kevin Gillikin, owner of this absolutely stunning 1957 Chevy Bel Air Wagon.

Built in 2024, this wagon is packed with incredible craftsmanship and detail from top to bottom:

✨ Powder-coated LS3 with custom intake
✨ Art Morrison powder-coated chassis
✨ 480L powder-coated driveline
✨ Custom coil-over suspension
✨ Borla exhaust
✨ Budnik rims and steering wheel
✨ Leather and tweed inlay upholstery
✨ Pearl white paint with a pearl brown top

There were so many remarkable vehicles at Thunder on the Mountain this year, but this one earned the biggest honor of the day — Best in Show.

The closer you look, the more there is to appreciate. From the stance and bodywork to the interior, drivetrain, and those finishing details, this beautiful Bel Air Wagon was a showstopper from every angle.

And this win comes with one more special honor: Kevin’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air Wagon will be the featured ride on our 2027 Thunder on the Mountain event poster and event shirts 😎 Congratulations, Kevin, and thank you for bringing such an incredible build to Mount Shasta for Thunder on the Mountain! 🏆🚘

A huge thank you to the
Mount Shasta Elks Loge #2333 for being such a special part of this year’s Thunder on the Mountain! 🇺🇸

This year, the Elks selected and presented a special Veterans Award to one very deserving ride, chosen from the 25 veterans who were in attendance at the show. It was such a meaningful addition to our awards, and we are incredibly grateful to every veteran who joined us. Thank you all for your service! ❤️🤍💙

We were also lucky to have an amazing surprise guest, Rick Hood, who gave us a beautiful bagpipe rendition of America the Beautiful just before the awards. It was one of those moments that made this year’s event extra special.
