Odessa

After a few hours of walking the show we were treated to a Texas barbecue, with some of the best brisket that we've ever had. As the day went on, we hit the Hop Pit, where the best of the best master switch men and car hopper builders went head to head to get crowned as the king of the hop pit. Hi-Low Hydraulics took home the crown with "Cobra," which stood on its tailgate in full stance, looking ready to strike anyone who dares confront it.

When the hop was over, we walked around the rest of the building and checked out what was new and what was hot. One of the most noticed vehicles was the Lowrider "Aztec" rig that was parked between the show buildings. At the end of the day, we took off with the anticipation of coming back the following year. We would like to thank Nick Hernandez and his crew at Texas Tours Entertainment for all of the love that they have shown us, and the people of Tejas for participating in one of the best shows that we've ever visited.
