🎬📺 [Cue grainy VHS static… LOUD GUY YELLING]

🎙️ “ARE. YOU. READY. FOR. MAAAAAYHEM?!” 🎙️

That’s right folks, it’s BACK and it’s BIGGER than your cousin Larry’s muffler collection!
👉 RATS ON THE PLATTE 2026! 👈
📅 August 14th & 15th

Two full days of:
🔥 BURNOUTS so smoky you’ll swear you’re in a Cheech & Chong movie!
🔥 RAT RODS built from rust, duct tape, and pure bad decisions!
🔥 DIRT TRACK ACTION louder than your neighbor’s divorce!

👩‍🦰 [Cut to fake testimonial]:
“Before Rats on the Platte, my weekends were boring… now I smell like burnt rubber 24/7 and I LOVE IT!”

👨‍🦱 [Another fake testimonial]:
“I came for the burnouts… but I stayed for the fumes!”

⚡💋 [Suddenly, the screen shakes—spotlights hit, glitter falls, and rock music blares] 💋⚡

🎙️ “WAIT A MINUTE—WHO LET THE MISTRESSES OF MAYHEM IN HERE?!”

👠💄 [Miss Mayhem grabs the mic]:
“Boys, step aside—WE bring the sass, the class, and a little chaos with our gas!”

👑 [Mistress of Mayhem flips her hair]:
“Think you’re just here for burnouts? Think again. We’re here to prove mayhem looks even better in lipstick and heels.”

🎙️ “That’s right folks, the Mistresses of Mayhem are back—stealing trophies, stealing hearts, and probably stealing your spotlight!”

🎙️ [Back to announcer, yelling over the crowd noise]:
“So don’t delay, act now! Join us August 14th–15th for burnouts, rat rods, dirt track madness, and the unstoppable Mistresses of Mayhem—absolutely FREE with every ticket!”

📞 CALL NOW… or just show up… but CALL NOW SO IT SOUNDS COOL!

More mayhem from the show is coming soon! Sifting through all the pics and videos is a blast (but also super time-consuming), and of course my day job insists I show up too 😂. Stay tuned—because the chaos is worth the wait!

Couple of heartwarming moments this weekend. First Chance passing Sue a car that just won't quit no matter what she's been through onto Trevyn, from one rat rodder to the next she's definitely in good hands. Second Addie needed some senior pictures and what better way to commemorate their families passion than some senior pictures in front of a burnout. It's been an honor to get to see all these kids grow up through the years.
