With yet another impressive show, the crew from Magical Minis came back for yet another taste of a wild weekend. With phat rides, camping, partying and naked chicks, this is still on the top 2 of my list of must attend shows, hell it might even be #1. With our bags packed and the gas tanks filled up it was time to head out to the West side of Oregon and a chance yet again to hang out with the crew from Magical before their weekend would begin. I started things off with checking out GSL's new shop (shop tour to come in an upcoming issue). I have got to say this is one of the baddest F'n shops I've ever seen. With his sister having a Tattoo shop (Hot Rod Betties) located inside, you can get your tat's done while waiting for some work on your mini, compact or custom. Once Junior arrived, we did our shop tour and hung out for a while before heading to the show grounds. If you've never had a chance to kick it with these guys and gals you've gotta take a few minutes out of your day to chat with them, these are some cool individuals and a club that will be putting out some phat rides for years to come. After running to grab a bit to eat, we got heading to the show grounds to see what was happening. Upon our arrival the grounds were slowly filling up and it was only a Thursday evening! We headed over to Visions camp to chat for a bit and then stopped over to hang out a bit with Act One. They were nice enough to feed us some very taste fruit and beverage. After getting plenty to eat it was time to head to the hotel to get some rest for the weekend. Upon leaving I managed to bust out about a 60 foot skid from the rental for all to see, and to also let everyone know that I have left the grounds… haha As we entered the show grounds Friday, cars where already filing in and most had already marked off their territory for them and fellow club members arriving later in the day. Once clubs headed to the camping area to begin setting up camp, most were found ready for the night's festivities. I found my way over to the Hot Rod Betties booth where Rene would begin her weekend with tattooing a big ass dragon on my back. With a little over 3 hours done, I was off to Portland to go pick up my wife for her first true truck run. With our arrival into the fairgrounds I introduced her to numerous people and then the drinking began. As the nighttime arose so did the number of entries into the show grounds. By this time it was reminding me more of a southern run more then anything except the girls where getting completely naked instead of the usual hooter displays. The more people had to drink the crazier the night became.

Instead of a cruise, it was turned into a drag strip, and burn out contest. As the night became late the morning show goers took to their tents for a quick nap before sunrise, so we decided to hit the hotel and do the same. Her first night having been overwhelmed with meeting and greeting was over for now. Unlike last year, this year's show was HOT! It was in the 90's all weekend and managed not to rain even once. As we returned to the show grounds Saturday morning, even more rides had shown up after we had left and even more where trickling in the gates when we came through. Kris had already managed to cover the show before we had arrived so I worried about collecting features before the day's games begun. With covering rides from all over the Northwest and Canada, we decided to break our ventures in to 2 halves. With the morning gone, there was no time to rest our feet; there were features to be gathered. With the decision made I had to run my wife to the hotel so she could get ready for some shoots with Tailgate and SSM. Once we arrived back the show was on as groups of onlookers watch Myself, Junior and Kris knock out feature after feature with different models. With the burnout contest complete, the drag contest coming to an end left only one more thing. The night's agenda, the bikini contest! With Junior from Tailgate we properly positioned ourselves to the sides of the stage, we were sure to enjoy the contest while snapping a few photos. With this being my wife's first minitruck show we decided to break her in proper as she got the girls ready back stage and then accompanied them on stage to dump gallon after gallon of water onto their boobs. As we watched a few beautiful girls show all, the winner made sure to strut her stuff and managed to win despite not getting completely naked like Ms Lolipop. After hanging out and meeting with old friends and new, it was time for lights out for the night to get ready to head home the next morning. The crew from Magical did an awesome job with the show and everything ran smoother then just about any 3-day event I've ever been to. The quality of rides was phenomenal! Street Source Magazine will definitely be back next year and hope to see as many of you there as possible to enjoy what they had to offer.Photos By: Kris Bloom and Garrick ArendsText By: Garrick ArendsP.S.
