Tex Mex 2009

For some of the show attendees out there who go to a show for a trophy, or worry about which class you they’re in and spend the whole day looking for the trucks that are in your class. Tex Mex is probably not the show for you. For one thing, the place was so huge you’d never find the trucks that are in your class. On top of that, this was one of those shows you show up drunk and you leave recovering. From the time you get there the good time starts, and on Sunday when you leave you’re still partying. We pulled in Friday night and setup camp. Once we got the tents set up, it was time to cook some food on the grill and bring out the beers. Already the cruise was rolling, and the party had begun. It wasn’t just us. It was EVERY CAMP site out there. It felt like if you where sober you probably shouldn’t have even come.
When we pulled in to the show around 5:30 or 6:00pm Friday evening it felt like we were already late. We went through the entrance to be greeted by all the guys at the gate, then we rolled through the site looking for a place to set up camp. At about the time I was saying “Hmm this looks like a good spot, not a bad turnout”, we toped a hill, and all you saw was LAIDOUT rides, chrome, billet, and custom paint jobs. My mouth just about hit the floor. I have been to a lot of shows in the last 10 years I’ve been doing this, but I have never seen such a spread out, and such a large show ever! It was amazing how many rides where there from all across the country. No Regrets California, Mexico, and even Japan was there, and if they come all the way from JAPAN, you know some things going down in little Old Texas!
Saturday morning I woke up to a roaring truck around 4am, revving his motor as much as he could, but I rolled back over and woke up around 9:00am. The coverage started from there, the only problem was my camera. I was having the worst luck this weekend. The communicator in my lens wasn’t working at all, so that’s why I feel like my coverage is a little short. As many things that were there, I should have had

at least 2000 pictures. At least I was able to offer something. Well as far as I was saying about classes and judging they did a TOP 100 choice, which was awesome. The show had one really big class. Yet the judges were stopping by, checking out all our rides. I felt sorry for them to have to cover the whole grounds like that, but once night fell Saturday night, it was on once again. I’d love to be able to tell you about all the events that happened that night, but honestly it’s all a bit blurry HA. I know the wet t-shirt contest turned into a HOW NAKED COULD you get contest, which I didn’t hear one complaint about. From that point I remember a whole lot of beer drinking, and a lot of Keg Stands. We finally went to sleep around 6:00am because I remember seeing the light from the sun, and I said its time to lay it down. That’s about it, I’d have to give props to Mitch Rall, Severed Ties Texas, and the Rest of the club for putting on one HELL of an event. Also I would like to thank Twisted Inc DVD for the party, pretty much all night debuting there video. They definitely turned the heat on the party, and everyone else that made the weekend had a hell of a time.
See you at the next one! BR
