For many years Brandon Leblanc, and Rachel Leblanc have hosted Gator Drag as one of the hottest shows in the south. It brings people from all over the south but mainly from TX, LA, MS, OK, and AR. You can always expect a hell of a time at Gator Drag.

     Just a little history about the show: Gator Drag began in Jennings, LA hence where the name “Gator” came from in the name “Gator Drag”. After a few years there, and the city really enjoying writing tickets, Brandon moved it a little ways down the road to Kinder,La. To make this brief, the show finally crossed the state line over in to Texas. The past few years Brandon has held the show in Conroe, TX at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. As a fellow Texan I must say that I’m proud that we have another great show here in the Lone Star State.

     This year seemed to have the quality of rides in mind. Everyone brought out there best stuff going for that Gator Drag Belt buckle, Yes I said Belt buckles. Brandon thought it would be a cool idea to give out custom made Gator Drag belt Buckles for awards. To me this is a killer idea because I’ve wanted one of these awards since I first saw them. Thats probably one of the coolest things about Gator Drag I can follow with throughout the years is the cool awards. One year it was alligator heads, and now Belt Buckles! The weather wasn’t to bad except for our Lovely HEAT we have here in Texas. HOT Shows are here finally, so it was a sunburn kind of show. Oh well, might as well get the first one out of the way so I can get less burned the rest of the year. You better bet the cooler was stocked with Beer and Water so I kept myself hydrated and dehydrated all day HA.

     The entertainment was brought to us by the PEvents Crew for the Bikini contest, and of course you cant have PEvents without having a game of Fear Factor, and Tug-of-War. The tunes you heard throughout the grounds where played by

Murder Hill DJ service, jams for Mini Truckers by Mini Truckers! For most shows the nightlife is what the crowd comes for, and well there were several things for you do at night. One of the big nighttime events was an after party at “Purple Rain” and we well decided to do a little something else. There’s a nice lit up spot on I45 thats about 4 lanes wide, perfect for a good RAIL Session. I’d have to call this an Aftermath/Texas Khaos drag session with a few others mixed in. The night life came to an end for our crew after running over a razor blade on the shoulder taking pictures/video of the drag session. The flat pretty much ended my night at that point. I didn’t have my spare with me but luckily at about 3am we finally got a spare for the Excursion to get us back to the room. (Big Thanks Jonathon from TK for the spare!!!) See you at the next one BigRyan signing off.
