It’s safe to say that the first annual Okie Twist-off at the 66 Bowl in Oklahoma City was a success.
Reports the Daily Oklahoman:
The result was the largest crowd to swell at 66 Bowl since it opened in 1959, owner Jim Haynes said.
With 750 individual wristbands sold for the first-time event, Beck said, and an additional 200 wristbands given out free to vendors, bands, car club members and volunteers, the crowd estimate just off old Route 66 was about 1,000 people at the show’s peak around sunset.
And that was despite 100-degree temperatures all weekend.
Organizers are already planning for next year’s event, with more custom cars and more bands.
