 Import And Truck Bash 2005 Custom Truck

The sweet smell of burnt rubber in the air, the grinding sound of minis dragging, and a completely filled infield can only mean one thing.

Import and Truck Bash is the premier truck show in the Midwest, and with its late-season schedule, it provides a perfect platform to debut newly completed customs. Indianapolis Raceway Park was filled with nearly 3,000 vehicles; competition was fierce as participants cleaned every nook and cranny for proper recognition. On each day of the show during the weekend of Aug. 19-21, entertainment hit an all-time high: full quarter-mile drag racing, hydraulics competition, burnout contest, and, yes, Miss ITB 2005. Exhibition drifting took over the oval track this year, and Bubba Drift stole the show with his MagnaCharger-equipped El Camino. Special thanks to Toyo Tires and Greed custom wheels for making sure the show was another hot success. Mark your calendar for next year's ITB, and look for us there.
