**Conroe Gears Up for Record-Breaking Lone Star Throwdown This Weekend**

Conroe, TX – The roar of custom engines and the gleam of polished chrome are set to descend upon Montgomery County as the annual Lone Star Throwdown (LST) custom truck and car show rolls back into town this weekend, February 23rd through 25th. Thousands of enthusiasts, exhibitors, and spectators from across the nation are expected to flock to the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, transforming it into a vibrant showcase of automotive artistry and innovation.

Often referred to simply as LST by its devoted fanbase, the event promises an unparalleled display of customized vehicles. Attendees can expect to see an incredible diversity, ranging from meticulously crafted mini-trucks and sky-high lifted rigs to classic muscle cars, vintage hot rods, rugged Jeeps, exotic imports, and cutting-edge tuners – all shined to perfection and ready to impress. Event organizers anticipate over 2,000 unique vehicles on display, drawing tens of thousands of visitors throughout the three-day spectacle.

Founded in 2011 by Brandon Scott, LST has grown from a grassroots gathering into a national phenomenon, recognized as one of the premier custom vehicle shows in the United States. “What started as a passion project among friends has truly blossomed into one of the premier custom vehicle shows in the nation,” said Brandon Scott, LST Founder and Event Director. “We’re incredibly proud of the community we’ve built and the amazing caliber of vehicles that grace our grounds each year. Every year, the builds get more creative, and the enthusiasm grows.”

For those planning to attend, gates open bright and early at 8:00 AM each day. On Friday and Saturday, entry is permitted until 5:00 PM, with the show running until 6:00 PM. Sunday’s hours are slightly adjusted, with gates closing for entry at 4:00 PM, culminating in the much-anticipated awards ceremony around 2:30 PM. Beyond the impressive vehicle lineup, the fairgrounds will host a wide array of vendors offering automotive accessories, customization services, and merchandise, alongside a diverse selection of food trucks to keep everyone fueled up.

Spectator tickets are generally sold online as a $30 weekend pass, granting access for all three days. While there is a chance to purchase tickets with cash at the gate, it is not guaranteed, and attendees are strongly advised to buy ahead online to ensure entry and avoid potential queues. A family-friendly perk, children 12 and under receive free admission. For detailed information and to purchase tickets, visit the official Lone Star Throwdown website at www.lonestarthrowdown.com.

The economic impact of LST on the Conroe community is substantial. The influx of tens of thousands of attendees translates directly into packed local hotels, bustling restaurants, and increased business for gas stations, grocery stores, and various other services across the area. Local officials and businesses eagerly anticipate the event’s return each year.

“The Lone Star Throwdown is far more than just a car show for Conroe; it’s a vital economic engine,” stated Conroe Chamber of Commerce President, Danielle Miller. “It fills our hotels, packs our restaurants, and supports countless local businesses, injecting millions of dollars into our local economy and showcasing our vibrant city to visitors from across the country. We welcome all attendees and hope they enjoy everything Conroe has to offer.”
