Occasionally people ask what I think makes a great show, and my answer typically centres around variety and the feel of a backyard BBQ.
As someone who likes a wide variety of cars and tuning styles few things are better than an event where a minitruck is parked a stones through away from a hot rod, that is parked just around the bend from an Import, and so forth and so on.
Since it’s in Calgary and I’m here in Toronto I’ve never been to Battle At The Bridge personally but Mike McConnell has been submiting coverage for a few years now and with each passing year Battle looks more and more like a show I would thoroughly enjoy.
Trucks, cars, rods, lead sleds, imports, and vip cars, Battle has got everything along with a loyal following, and awesome venue, and a variety of sponsors. Jesse and Mike took a huge number of photos so expect at least one more follow up post to this one.
If it were possible for me to own all the wheeled objects I want I would totally own a Honda minibikeWhile the DSM scene here in Toronto seems have hit a sharp decline Calgary looks to be keeping it real
Don’t see a whole lot of these among the show scene

Personally this to me will always be VIP, tasteful, minimal camber and subtle body mods
No end to the creativity coming out of Calgary it would seem

Farily certain I feel in love with this car last year…
Pretty sure if I was at the show I’d be one of these people staring at this car too
Had to include more photos of this Chevy, the paint work is just outstanding
Thought it might not be everyone’s style I’m pretty sure none of you will question the quality of work
