The First Annual Lake Texoma Rally


Well, I wish I could have stayed longer. Never mention to your Boss about your weekend plans. He may have some work for you to perform and ruin your weekend.

I drove up Saturday and spent around 45 minutes at the rally chatting it up with Sid, Smokey, and a few others. I didn't know exactly how beautiful Lake Texoma was until I actually got there. By the looks of the license plates, Texans dominated the rally but I noticed plates from Colorado, Kansas, and points beyond as well. Well, I am rambling again. On to the pictures!

I am guessing this is Jamie Contouris's truck. Jamie sold T-Shirts at the rally but I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him.

This ugly guy needs little introduction :)  This is the man, the myth, and the legend, SmokeyWren!

One of the "Less than Stock" Trucks at the rally. If this is your vehicle, let me know and I will link your name to it

And the man with T-Red (See site article)  brought T-Bat-outta-hell. The guys on the right are witnessing a Exhaust Brake install I think...

More of the Gauge install.

Sid's Dad brought the grill. 50lbs of brisket ought to be enough for this bunch.

This picture does not do this pile of crawfish justice. This is a shot of the back of a S-10 pickup loaded to
the rails with crawfish

The organizer of this shindig, Sid MacAllister and his truck.

And last but not least...
