Throttle Back Rally 2016
For three days in August, Bonnie and Clyde Trade
Days was a biker’s playground. Dennis Smith and
Sherry Bond put together one hell of a party. Thursday morning I rolled through the gate, parked in front
of the Clyde Barrow Café, and was greeted by Dennis
and Sherry to help prepare for the arrival of patrons
to the park. Confederates Motorcycle Club provided
support for the event. Blowout Biker Productions was
the master of ceremonies for the whole weekend. The
weather was blistering hot, but one could cool off in
the swimming pool under the pavilion or take a trip
down the water slide. Rougaroo Trio provided the
musical entertainment for Thursday evening.
Friday the gates began to boom as bikers from all over
came to enjoy the many vendors, musical entertainment, and the first ever midget Olympics. Olympic
competitions consisted of a belly flop contest and
a waterslide drag race. Torch, the famous biker fire entertainer, heated up the night with amazing fire stunts
in preparation for the music headliner, The Kelly
Hobson Band.
Saturday a little rain did not stop any of the festivities
as the bike games began a little after lunch. Magnolia
Brown took the stage and put on a great performance
in the afternoon playing southern rock favorites. As
the sun set, Torch lit up the sky again with another
amazing performance, including using his bike as a
blow torch. Fire blazed from his tailpipes on his HD
Road Glide. The night finished off with Kelly Hobson
putting on a phenomenal show for over 2 hours. As
the weekend came to a close, one could make new
friends and catch up with old ones around the different camps. We hope to see everyone next year same
place…. first weekend in August.
