The attendance at SoCal shows ranges from hundreds to thousands of cars. Although, as much fun as the big shows sometimes are, it's just nice to relax and hang out with our buddies while doing some of the things we love the most. What's better than hanging out in the shade, checking out the newest minitrucks, or enjoying some tacos while Shady from Borrachos Clothing tears it up on stage? Well, thanks to the Relaxed Atmosphere crew, we had an opportunity to relax in early May and do just that.

Note from the host:
Relaxed Atmosphere and So Cal Rides would like to thank all of the clubs that came out and attended the show. We would also like to thank all of the people who contributed and donated to the fundraiser for our friend, Tito. Our goal was to put on a cool and laid-back event. This may be the beginning of something cool.
