  All Harley Memorial Day Blowout - weekend event in Gulfport, Mississippi
The Blowout was conceived in 1983 by the ASGARD Motorcycle Club.
An ideal friendship was formed between the ASGARD MC and Charles D. Reese (owner of Gulfport Dragway), Oluf Zierl (former editor of the local biker bulletin (SSB), Gene Stewart of Rex Distributors (Budweiser Brewing Co.) and Vincent Creel (editor of the Marquee of the Sun Herald).
The details worked out and by the third Blowout we switched to the Gulfport Dragway and the date was changed to the end of May (Memorial Day), which also symbolized the beginning of summer activities.

  Blowout (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blowouts are sandy depressions in a sand dune ecosystem (psammosere) caused by removal of material by wind.
A blowout can occur when something destroys an area of this vegetation, allowing the wind once again to start to move the sand in that area.
Causes of destruction include fire (natural or caused by humans) or in, extreme cases, trampling by feet, horses, cars, bicycles etc. Fire is the most common cause, however.

Surgical repair of a "blowout" is rarely undertaken immediately; it can be safely postponed for up to two weeks, if necessary, to let the swelling subside.

Nearly a victim of a disastrous blowout himself, oil wildcatter James Smither Abercrombie (1891-1975) took his idea for his ram-type preventer to machinist Harry S. Cameron (1872-1928) in his shop in Humble, Texas, where they sketched out the details on the dirt floor.
The original blowout preventer was displayed at the Smithsonian's energy center in the early 1980s and then returned to Cameron headquarters, where it is now on display in the lobby exhibit area.
