Houston’s All Team Bash ’09

Here in Houston the majority of the quality imports you run into at events, shows, and meets are usually on a team.  Its definitely not a bad thing, many teams go way beyond car clubs.  They tend to be very tightly knit, often displaying a family attitude towards each other.  Also, you find that the encouragement, support, and input from the team pushes each team member to go that much farther in modifying their car to stand out from the pack.  These are the guys creating trends, and putting fresh ideas and looks out on the streets everyday.

With that sort of enthusiasm comes competition.  Not to point fingers, but you’d be foolish to think that drama between teams doesn’t exist.  Its there, it happens all the time.  This tends to create a bit of seclusion between teams, keeping them to themselves and doing their own thing.

Well, someone decided to change that, and thats how Houston’s All Team Bash was started!  The event encourages all teams to get together, come out, and barbeque and have fun at the park.  All teams are invited, and generally, all teams show up.  You rarely see that sort of “coming together” from the scene, and its amazing when it does happen..

I showed up at the event, and looking around, I noticed all the familiar cars that I know from each team.  Everyone had their firepits and barbeques going, their chairs and tens set up, etc.  It was alot of fun, a great atmosphere.  It wasn’t like a meet, where people huddle in their own little groups and avoid each other – people were coming and going, getting to know each other, hanging out, and overall having a good time.

So, to the guys who put the All Team Bash together – good work!  This is what the scene is all about.
