First comes the thunder!

RESS COLUMBUS – Buckle up and put on your earplugs because there is nothing like a 2500-plus horsepower blown alcohol truck and modified tractors to blow your mind. The vibrations from the big boys drive through you and get your heart pumping.

RESS COLUMBUS — Buckle up and put on your earplugs because there is nothing like a 2500-plus horsepower blown alcohol truck and modified tractors to blow your mind. The vibrations from the big boys drive through you and get your heart pumping.

The crowd easily gets into the spirit and cheers on each puller. The stands are usually packed and everyone has a good time.

Thunder by the Colorado was organized in 2013 with the goal of reviving hot rod trucks and tractor-pulling excitement across Texas. Each year the crowds and the contestants grow and it is no different now 10 years on in Columbus. The fanbase grows and many look forward to the first weekend of May.
