Event | Chopped 2013 | Chris Cooper | Part 1

Chopped 2013-FuelBlog-CrcooperPhotography-035

I’ve said this every time I’ve posted photos from Chopped. It really doesn’t need an introduction. It is THE traditional Hot Rod and Custom show in Australia. 2013 Chopped was more than double the size of last year. Showing up late Friday afternoon and witnessing the sea of tents in the bottom campground was an incredible site. Each time I would bump into one of the organizers, apart from being in a frantic rush, they were absolutely amazed at the turn out. A huge congratulation’s to Ryan, Kyle and Paul for yet again pushing the boundaries and setting the benchmark for future shows.

Chris Cooper.

As the 100 day count down is well and truly underway, I thought I’d give a boost to all those guys and girls who are busting their ass’s in the freezing back shed preparing their rides for this years Chopped Rod and Custom show.

Chopped 2012 was really inspiring, both as a spectator and a photographer. This was only my third year, however, it had grown ten fold. I was astonished at the turn out. Ask anyone who has been more than once, and they’ll safely say the event grows bigger and better each year, and 2012 was no different. One of the biggest changes was the plowed drag strip, which once it rained, turned into a slippery dip for bikes and cars. Amazing.

Rain, Hail or Shine, the event will be on each year and each year will have that exact weather pattern, and I personally wouldn’t have it any other way. See you in the mud!
