2008 Showme Showdown Custom Truck Show Custom Trucks

The guys and girls from Lasting Impressions have been putting on this show for the last seven years, with the first five years going by the name, Madness in Missouri.

With the show growing year by year, it was time for the show to move to a larger venue and become a two day event. Next stop was to lock down a date and location that has everything you need to have a great show. Now, there's so much to do at this show with vendors, club wars, bikini contest, and even a tattoo contest. The weather in Southern Missouri was awesome, and you couldn't ask for much better all around.

Just as the show was wrapping up Saturday it starting raining, but that didn't put an end to the fun, as everyone just headed to a local watering hole that the club had setup for the shows after party. At the end of the day Sunday, it was time for the show to come to a close, but it was easy to see why tons of great trucks showed up from all over, everyone had a great time and it was all for a good cause.
