Lone Star Early Bronco Round Up, April 20-22, 2007


Broncos, Broncos, everywhere!
Sunny skies and 75 early broncos greeted us at Katemcy on this 8th Annual Lone Star Early Bronco Round Up. Everything from extreme, rock-rash covered rigs to pristine showroom looking EBs were here for this three day event. You could roll your rig on the trail [pic 2] or leave it in camp for people to ogle over [Pic 3]. Some folks brought extra broncos with them just in case their first rig broke! Good idea, Kim. Sorry about the 2nd rig too!


Vendors such as James Duff broncos, BC Broncos, Toms Broncos Parts, PSC Motorsports, and Wild Child, showed up and wheeled with the Lone Star Early Bronco gang and their friends. Dozens of other vendors donated items to Saurday night's raffle which was full of great stuff that I got cheated out of!! Paul sold me all the loser tickets!


Suzi Duff didn't bring down her family's famous "Hi Ho Silver" bronc, but Chris Towery was glad to give Suzi a ride in his big purple "Barney." I'm sure Suzi was quite impressed with Chris' driving when he laid his bronc over on Suzi's side! The sand drags were as popular as ever this year with lots of folks running their broncs, their tow rigs, or their buddy's rig if he wasn't watching. After some debate the sand drag officials declared Kirk Jorden, running his "buzzin' half dozen" turbo-charged straight six cylinder, as overall winner...or was that weiner...I don't remember.

Saturday evening after a full plate of BBQ, I'm not sure who fell asleep quicker, the 20 plus little kids or their exhausted parents. It was a lot of fun for everyone. Great job LSEB!!
