LCAD Partners with Laguna Beach Fire Department to Win Motorhome Madness RV Demolition Derby
Info
LCAD students, under the expert guidance of Professor James Thistlethwaite, came together to design and paint the Laguna Beach Fire Department’s RV for the derby. A team of 16 talented students worked for two days to bring the fire department’s RV to life with a unique, dynamic design that’s inspired by the Ocean and the Laguna Canyon Road.
Driven by Laguna Beach Fire Department Chief Niko King, the LCAD-painted RV not only won the Best of Show for Motorhome Design but also emerged as the overall derby champion, being the last RV standing in a thrilling conclusion to the event. Chief King was able to drive the RV into victory as promised.
In a heartwarming gesture, when Chief King was presented with the championship trophy, he sought out the LCAD students in the sold-out crowd and brought them down to share in the victory. The moment was a true testament to the collaborative spirit between the college and the local community, highlighting the impact of teamwork and creativity.
