1Low620 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just a friendly reminder, LowDown 2010 is coming up on 7-30-10 to 8-1-10, information can be found here.... http://www.streetsource.com/forum/topic.aspx?topic_id=115401&Page=1 I've read past comments and have heard snide remarks at previous shows about the gate fee being outrageous, for a 3 day show, $65 seems pretty accurate IMO, most shows are what these days? $25? Break that down over 3 days and you've hit $75. If you haven't been to LowDown before, you've missed some crazy stuff! Hope to see the datto club rolling in full force again! Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yep, it's a great show! This will be the first one in years that we will miss, so take lots of crazy pics for us. (wish we could make it) Have fun! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've read past comments and have heard snide remarks at previous shows about the gate fee being outrageous, for a 3 day show, $65 seems pretty accurate IMO, most shows are what these days? $25? Break that down over 3 days and you've hit $75. thats both pretty nuts IMO, Canby is only 2 days but its $5 to get in and just park your car in the show (per day) if your not registered for judging and like $30 if your in the judging for all weekend. Iv never in my life paid $25 for a gate fee at a show :o Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 $65... :blink: Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I went to one last week and it was $58.00 Some of these shows charge quite a bit. I have spent $75.00 for one show. And you don't get shit. Not even a free t shirt. But they do give out some badass trophys. Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Low Down in the south sound is a full on mini-truck show. These shows get fuckin crazy, shit broken ,grass ripped up, boobs, debauchery, draggin, drinkin and thats just the beginning. They have to put up huge insurance policies in excess of 1 or 2 million. Trust me they are worth the money. Oh and there is a show somewhere in there, usually when everyone is sleeping off the party. Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yep, and It all depends on the venue. Shows like Lowdown and Drop Zone rent entire fairgrounds to accommodate the camping for a crap load of people and have to have a crazy amount of insurance to cover all the freaks that show up (that costs them a lot of money, like was just mentioned). If you have never been to a 3 day MiniTruck show, you just have no idea of the amount of chaos that occurs , lol. This is about the only vid I could find that was safe to post, everything else is NSFW, lol.

datrod Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 That might be why some shows state on the flyer. (No mini trucks) :lol: Quote Link to comment

Creepy Cruiser Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 It is definitely not a life style for everybody, lol. (it takes a special kind of crazy) Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Binge drinking isn't for me but thats usually the crazies at those shows. Its all in great fun. Wish I could go but I'm not dogging out on a really good friends wedding! Quote Link to comment
1Low620 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 That might be why some shows state on the flyer. (No mini trucks) :lol: Lets face it, every and I mean every car scene has it's share of asshats, from mini truckers to muscle cars to antique classics.... But for the life of me I can't say I have ever seen a show not accept certain styles of cars/trucks/bikes/whatever. Maybe cause I'm in Oregon, we don't have tons of shows every year, and the ones we do have the promoters try to keep it clean and fun for everyone. Quote Link to comment

Creepy Cruiser Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm so bummed we couldn't be there this year.:( Quote Link to comment
1Low620 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm so bummed we couldn't be there this year.:( was a good show! Finally back from LowDown, thank god our Newberg crew waited to leave town and avoid sitting in traffic for HOURS like some had to! :lol: Was kinda sad to only see one 620 in the show but I'll let ( Stacey? ) post up some pics of his trophies! Least, I hope Lisa was snagging some pics for you! Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Can't wait for the pics.:D How was the camping, and the new location grounds in general? Was there showers? Quote Link to comment
1Low620 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Can't wait for the pics.:D How was the camping, and the new location grounds in general? Was there showers? The fairgrounds are pretty wide open, by the time we pulled in, our Portland crew had our site on lock ( 3 tow pigs with trailers, 5 rides and 7 tents ) I didn't get an exact number of people who showed up but one of the Underground guys said it has passed last years numbers. Didn't see any showers, even though some one had said they have them on site, they did have plenty of porta-crappers to zip-tie people in! Games were a blast, our crew took the Trike race, came close in the tug-0-war, and one member took Minitruck Mayhem choice award and a photo shoot coming up soon! Quote Link to comment
