I'm in, I like the harsh weather! Its kinda like golf, anybody can play in the fairway, but it takes attitude to play in the rough..........

Ruben, 30 is a good goal but 1st year contests only need 15 to be a qualifier. I still don't relish the idea of Jan or Feb though. March could be doable

Brett when I mapquest Chesapeake & Lexington from here they come out only about 2 miles different. It'd be a tough call for us.

March. Salisbury MD experience tons of growth in its contest by choosing a date early in the season (april) where there is little competition with other events.

The Jack and Sayville in NY are around that date no?

Thanks Tom I thought it was 25 teams not. We figured 30 teams so if a few backed out we would still have 25. I was approached by people wanting to have a BBQ competition, bring in the live music and possibly a few other things to draw the public out. They wanted to get sponsorship and give all proceeds to the FFA Future Farmers of America. Naturally I would want to have a great competition. I know how couped up I was last January and Febuary and would like to have had a competition to go to without traveling 10 states away. A few thoughts I have about a January competition. 1) It would be right after Christmas, me being an auto tech I know nobody has money to get the car repaired after Santa Claus comes to town. Would that deter people from competing? 1) How would freezing cold weather effect drawing a crowd spectators for all events and any vendors there?

Right now they are looking at October 15-16 2010. I know ther are some other comps in NY and PA. Front Royal is the weekend before so I will see what they say about January!

November -Dec. looks like between last minute points battles and those that just dont want the season to end it could work in your favor

I like either March or Late April / early May - between Salisbury and the 3 or 4 in mid-May. Late May - maybe even Memorial Day weekend might work. If you go into October, you will have a hard time pulling teams from other contests or many teams don't want to do back-to-back weekends. The spring time is much less congested with contest. Late June may work. The only conflict I know is DC.
