Setting Trends 2009

This year marked the first for The Setting Trends Car Show. I must say, Setting Trends was well thought out by the host Bruce Burge. The idea was to put together a show in Dallas to bring some life back into the Custom Car and Truck scene. Bruce pitched the idea to a lot of friends, and after teaming up with Edward Torres of Damage Inc Car club and the Battle Drag Show Tour, it was set. They set a date, place and got the wheels in motion for this 1 day event.

For the first year, and being a 1day event, Setting Trends had a really good turnout despite the weather. The forecast had been showing rain all weekend, and around Saturday morning 4am it started. The rain didn’t want to let up very much all throughout the day of the show. We tried to stay as dry as possible but, from the video you can tell the lens was catching some water. I have to thank my buddy Jeff Wilson for driving me around the show in my Excursion to shoot the show coverage. A lot of the coverage was actually shot during the down pour. I am not one to risk my equipment but, I will find ways to get you the coverage you deserve.

For the awards, it was a Top 75 pick. Being that there were 80 entries, just about everyone left with an award in hand. They even had a local bar setup for the after party which made for a good time after a long day in the rain.

Never the less the show had a good turn out. I believe pulling in 80entrys, and several different vendors ranging from DJ Murder Hill for the awesome Tunes and Entertainment all evening, KIK Kustom Ink Klothing, Crime Pays Video, Solo Films, Pugz customs, and last but not least Custom For a Cause.

We would like to thank Edward, and Bruce for having us out at the show even though it was the first show I paid to enter to shoot coverage all year HA. Also a big thanks to Allen on the microphone from Custom for a Cause for keeping the laughs going during the rain. I had a great time! See you at the next one. BigRyan
