We hit the city of Odessa, Texas, to cover one of the most prestigious car shows to be held in the west side of the Lone Star State. Nick Hernandez and his Texas Tours Entertainment staff did a tremendous job getting everyone excited about the event. The mayor of Odessa even proclaimed November 20 as "Tejano Super Car Show Day." The one-of-a-kind show didn't just cater to the lowriders; there was something for everyone, from the Texas Death Match Car Hop championship to an art exhibit.
As we walked the show, we tried to capture some of the best cars that were brought out to the show. There were more than 550 entries and if that wasn't enough, we had to maneuver around the 12,000 people who showed up at the event. As we hit the main indoor area of the Ector County Coliseum, we were greeted by tons of people who were gathered around the main stage getting ready to shake their stuff to the sound of Texas acts La Sombra and Holla, as well as the Whut It Dew Family. Finishing off the day was a trip down memory lane with some of Lil' Rob's music.
Throughout the day, we met people from all over the great state of Texas, along with members from car clubs from all over the Southwest. The show also included a bone marrow testing center where they tested you to see if you can be one of the few people who can help unfortunate children with a life-threatening disease.
