Now that we officially have our copy guess what???? There's a beautiful feature written on us in the issue #70 of Rat Rod Magazine written by Lee Hageman. First off congrats Lee on your first feature you total deserve it and were humbled that you wrote about us; it's awesome to make it into the magazine something we never expected to happen. Our intentions when taking on this show were to put on a show where friends can come together and do sketchy things, new friends can be made, and the passion for rat rods could be spread in the Midwest. If you came to the show this last year ( or even if you didn't) make sure you pick up your copy of Rat Rod Magazine its honestly like no other magazine because you can feel the love from all those who put it together and who knows you might see your rig in there. Pick yours up at ratrodmagazine.com or be sad that you didn't.

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

That’s right folks, it’s BACK and it’s BIGGER than your cousin Larry’s muffler collection!

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!

💥 A HUGE thank you goes out one more time to our amazing sponsors, volunteer firefighters, EMTs, food vendors, and the incredible volunteers who help make this show what it is. 🙌

📸 Big love also to the photographers and videographers who capture the mayhem so we can relive it again and again!

✨ Special shoutout to AutoZone, O’Reilly’s, and the Ewalds for donating extra prizes, and to all the trophy builders who created some of the most unique trophies we’ve ever seen. Seriously—your creativity blows us away!

I can’t say this enough: WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!! 🖤

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!
