THE 2019 SHOW SEASON

Be Prepared and Make Plans Now

TEXT BY JON HANSEN PHOTOS BY STAFF

THERE COMES THAT TIME IN EVERY ENTHUSIAST’S LIFE WHEN THE CURRENT YEAR’S SEMA HAS FINALLY COME AND GONE AND, FOR THE MOST PART, WINTER HAS ENDED ALL OF YOUR CAR SHOW FUN. You have a few months of family holidays to knock out and some much-needed garage time to finish up last year’s project. Well guess what? The new year is here, ladies and gents. Finish your damn truck! Let’s make 2019 the year of driveshafts being where they are supposed to be and trucks that can actually drive into shows. Don’t get me wrong—there’s always a time and place for a good “roller,” but this should be the exception to the rule. Don’t be the majority when entering show grounds… and that goes for both lifted and lowered guys, new or old! OK. Rant over, moving on.

An abundance of amazing car/truck shows happen all across the United States every year. Because our magazine is not currently as thick as a phone book, we can only list a few of our favorites and some of the most popular from years past. (That, or perhaps the person who runs the show that did not get listed on here did not get back to me with information in time, so we could not get the info published for this piece.) REGARDLESS, if you were to hit a majority of these shows across our great nation, or at least the ones in your area, we can promise you will not be disappointed. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page, Instagram and website for other shows we will be covering as the year goes on. We love catching up with and hearing from our builders and readers alike.

We really look forward to the best year yet of seeing all the builders pushing the limits to be the best of the best and always do something new. We also truly enjoy seeing the passion and fun other enthusiasts like ourselves have with their friends doing what they love.
