It's Havoc East time! Mark your calendars and make arrangements now, because it's only two weeks away! This is definitely one of those shows that I've been looking forward to all year, as I love adventure and I love looking at everyone's trucks!
Living in Southern California, I am used to how trucks and truck shows are done around here. It is an awesome privilege and opportunity to be able to attend this upcoming HAVOC show in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on August 2-3, 2008, allowing insight into a truck culture and geographical area that, while in some ways are similar to what I'm used to, are quite different in many ways.
I enjoy seeing how and where the trucks were built, picking up on trends, styles, and ways of thinking. I enjoy seeing what shops are represented. I enjoy watching how people interact and how they dress. I enjoy seeing the surrounding area, which seems so green and open compared to what I'm used to. I enjoy seeing "those" trucks that we've all read about in Mini Truckin', but that live thousands of miles away (from me), like: 4 More Days, Take Notes, and Remedy, just to name a few trucks that I got to see last year and am completely in love with. To see these trucks in real-life is exciting, because it makes me realize just how lucky I am to have the opportunity. And likewise, I'm sure that it's equally sweet when those from the Midwest/East get to see West Coast trucks.
Havoc East is my window into the mini truck world that exists beyond the boundaries of Southern California and Lake Havasu, Arizona, which is the furthest I've driven for a show. It is my chance to see how it's done elsewhere. It's my chance to see sanctioned dragging. It's my chance to see 10 second trucks zoom down the Beech Bend quarter mile Dragstrip.
It doesn't get old, and I try not to take it for granted. I am so excited and so thankful for this upcoming opportunity.
I hope to have the chance to check out your truck at Havoc East 2008.
