Spring Bash '03
Spring Bash '03
That's right boys and girls it is that time of year again! The annual spring bash hosted by sweet temptations car and truck club. This show is always the kick off to the show seasons and this year was no exception. Luckily this year I took off work both days so I could enjoy the whole weekend at the show instead of hauling ass to the show after work on Saturday and rushing through the show coverage.
We rolled into Lawton about 10 o'clock Friday night and as soon as we rolled into motel 6 we met up with a group of anxious minitruckers ready for the show to get under way the next day. Like usual we did our fair share of hanging out at the hotels Friday night until we had to go on a small journey to find which hotel we were staying in. after calling all over town we finally met up with the guys of B.A.D. and they showed us the way to the hotel. Once we were checked in we unloaded the trucks and watched Poo jump out of a moving truck while holding on to pillows to cushion the fall that was a complete accident, after laughing over this for hours we passed out, to prepare for the day ahead of us.
Saturday morning we headed over to the show, got classed and spent a majority of the morning cleaning up the trucks before it was time break open the beers and the lunchmeat. While walking around the show taking pictures I realized that every year the quality of rides increases and Pleasures Trucks and Compacts bring out a new showstopper every year to blow peoples minds. I have to stop and give these guys/gals props they are a great club and have always been the nicest people you can find, keep it up guys!
Ok sorry where was I? Oh yea walking around…. If it wasn't enough just to see all these badass rides, woody Wilson and the guys from sweet temptations had a list of activities for spectators/ participants to stay busy with, including: chugging contest, bikini contest, tricycle race, burnout contest, car bash and a top notch mud wrestling match. Now if you couldn't find something to do then there is something wrong with you. Besides all these activities to see there where also a ton of vendors selling their products to those that where interested. A few of the vendors included Billet Accessories Direct, Sparkoo, Drop'em Wear and Performance Auto works. With all this going on and all the beautiful ladies walking around there is no way a person can get bored here. But all things have to come to an end right? ??? But wait there's the after party!
Saturday night after everyone showed up to the hotel we partied out of there until Big Dave broke the bed and Joe got locked in the bathroom, with people looking in our room funny we realized it was time to grab some grub, ditch the wussies and head to the titty bar. Like always dragons west, and night trips were the party locations and like always everyone that they could pack in there was there, especially Explicit Concepts. Guys if yall ever go to night trips, look for "Silver" she is freaking HOT.
Waking up on Sunday wasn't to hard, but the motivation to dust my truck off just wasn't happening, especially since the awards we in a few short hours. I wasn't even going to touch my truck on Sunday but thanks to HUGGY BEAR and his cohorts in crime Mitch and I where pulling bullet whole stickers off the trucks, but I would rather that than the "cowboys butts drive me nuts" sticker that Kevin Cox got on his sic Rivera.
I got wrap this thing up, I would like to thank all the guys of Sweet Temptations for the hospitality they had. For you people that have never been to this show, take a look at these pics and realize what your missing out on, this was my 4 year to attend this show and I can tell you that every year it just keeps growing and getting better. Hopefully I will see you there next year and until then, deuce deuce, I'm out!!
