session is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. MDT.

Question. Why is it called a "Big Block Party" if none of the vehicles have a big-block?

 

I think the term used is normally a block party and they are just saying it will be big and they are just having fun with a play on words.

 

Okay that explains that. Thanks again!
