WEST TEXAS BLVD NIGHTS 2

摘要

As you turn the pages of this newest LOWRIDER Magazine issue, along with the professionally captured car features and technical advice, there is also car show coverage, from the multi-page layouts of the LRM sanctioned Super Shows to the local shows and fundraisers. Yes, the "big tent" shows will leave you in awe; however, the latter can be of greater importance. The local shows gives one an opportunity to view the area's customizing best, while bringing a positive light to the lowrider sport for that community. As was the case, as Impalas Car Club Midland presented West Texas Blvd Nights 2 on July 19. With the success of the club's first show under its belt (LRM, May 2014), the bar was raised. "We wanted to go bigger and better," mentions club rep Eric Mancha. It definitely was, as the entries substantially increased from last year's outing. And in raising the sweepstakes prize monies, more show stoppers came to compete in the Midland Horseshoe Arena. With cars displayed from the Permian Basin, Dallas, and San Antonio, the best of show results included Best Bike to Austin Rubio of Onda CC, Best Bomb to Candido and Rosa Mendoza's 1953 Chevy (Third place, 2013 LRM Bomb of the Year), and Best Car of Show honors to last year's champ, Lupe Palacios and his 1977 Monte Carlo "High Voltage," as he hopes to keep the streak going in 2015.
