Thunder Roads Magazine of Oklahoma/Arkansas September 2015 | Page 30

e Lang y n n h o J m o fr e t An invi EVENTS ROCK G N I S S O R C T T E R VE E T A E M I T D O O IN ' G As the founder of Strip Club Choppers, I have been attending rallies in North America for over a decade, from Laconia to Southern California and From Washington State to Daytona and all points in between. I have even had the privilege to attend events in Nova Scotia and Mazatlan Mexico. One rally I have always wanted to check off the list was Bikes Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The opportunity presented itself when I was contacted by Tracy Harmon, the GM of Everett Chrysler Dodge dealership in Springdale. He inquired about possibly starting a new vending location, Everett Crossing, just minutes North of Fayetteville at his dealership. After attending the 2015 Sturgis 75th, I decided to take a detour on my way back to Florida 30 Thunder Roads Magazine of OK/AR and visit Tracy in Springdale. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. This dealership is located at the corner of Business 71 and Tyson Parkway [3709 S. Thompson] an extremely busy corner located between the official BBB event and the local Harley-Davidson dealer. Location is one the most important aspects of a successful event as most of us know. I have always thought of myself as a good marketer, however, compared to Tracy and his staff, I am an amateur. These guys are giving away Free BBQ, Free Drinks , Free Bands and Free Parking. Here’s the best thing about this venue and event, we will be having a bike show on Friday, September 25 with $2,750 in cash prizes! The first annual BBB Biggest Baddest Bagger contest will feature Cash Prizes First prize $1500, $750 for second and $500 cash for third. That’s one of the largest cash payouts offered at any bike show in the Midwest. Registration is Friday, 10 am to noon with judging at 3pm. You’re welcome to take photos and encouraged to share them on your favorite social media. We will also have some great vendors like California Customs, 5252 Dyno, Bad Azz LED’S, Mac’s Hot Rod Shop and Strip Club Choppers. Make some time to come by and visit these vendors, see the bikes and get some free BBQ and a cold drink!! For additional info, call 714-4657103.
