e are now in our seventh
year of giving you the best

coverage of any and

the rat rod universe. We’ve been

all over the country and we’ve
featured builds from all over the
world. But we could argue that
the most passionate rat rodders

deep South, namely the bayous
and swamps of Louisiana. They
have numerous events year

(freestyle burnouts, donut contests,
grass drags) that emphatically validate

these monikers. The best part is that
these folks are amongst the kindest,

people is Ron ‘Mr. Sparkz’ Alexander.
