2018 LONESTAR ROUND UP
2018 Lonestar Round Up
The 2018 Lonestar Round Up trip started the way that all of my annual pilgrimages to Austin have started. Ill prepared and a few minutes late. After work at 6pm I headed off from my home in central Kansas and met up with a buddy along the interstate about 30 miles down the road. We pushed through and got to the south side of Fort Worth around 1:30 am and called it a night.
The next morning he was calling my room far too early and shortly after we were headed south again. Destination, Beyersville, TX for the Meatheads BBQ pre-party at Noon on Thursday.Here are some photos from that event, more coverage of the weekend all week long on the site, make sure to subscribe if you haven't already so you will get the updates in your email in box.
We had a great time out at the Meatheads BBQ and then hanging out with the Okie Sleds in Taylor. Later that night we headed down to Giddy Ups to hang out and listen to some live music. Friday morning I headed to the show and waited in line for an hour to get in. The amount of people trying to get into the event was crazy, the most I've ever seen on a Friday at the Lonestar Round Up.
When I finally got into the show on Friday it wasn't long before everyone in the show was getting sweaty, it was kinda warm compared to what Kansas had been only 24 hours before but since Saturday was not looking too good temp wise we all just kind of dealt with it. I've never seen so many cars at this show on a Friday, it was crazy!
Around 2pm I got a text from Ryno that the minibike races were starting so I went over to check them out with a pinup friend of mine and some friends from Colorado. That's one of my favorite parts of events like this, there were friends to hang with from across the country and planet!
By Saturday the weather had turned from 86degrees to 46, it was a bit chilly especially with the wind but if the pinup girls could walk around in it, so could I. The crazy huge turnout that had been at the event on Friday was down quite a bit due to the weather but most of the folks that traveled from across the country were still ready to hang out, check out some cars, hear some great music and enjoy each other's company.
Even though the weather wasn't great, the 2018 Lonestar Round Up was a great time. Thanks to everyone involved in putting on one heck of a great weekend.
