Your thoughts/comments would be appreciated

Thanks Mr. Mayor...glad to hear you had a good time, looks like a nice place. Hopefully Daisy stays home this year:shock:
 
I am looking at trying to make this - yeah, I know - nothing like planning ahead. I heard there are only about 10 teams signed up for this. Has anyone else heard this?
 
Clark, if your going by yourself gimme a call, we can share gas money.

If not that's fine too, I'll just have to stay home with my baby (hard work I know).
 
Their web page shows 15 or 16 teams signed up and I dont see a lot of the usual culprits yet.Is there another contest that day any where near?
 
I just took a look at the KCBS schedule and dont see much for competing events with Salem ,Il cancelled.Silver Lake ,Mi? might pull a few of the Illinois competitors,I would find it hard to believe they wouldnt have a very good field of competitors.I have heard that this was a pretty decent comp.

I want to make a correction on my previous statement.I see on another board that the contest I said was cancelled isnt cancelled its just not sanctioned.Maybe its a bad weekend for folks to be out.

Well, that pretty much settles it then - I have to go!

I'm hoping to go. I have a friend in Onalaska that wants to check one out. I think he got bit by the Q bug.

I was gonna take the boys to get them out of mommas hair for the evening. Oldest has a football game in the morning, so it would be an "up and back" kind of trip.
You can ride along for free if I go.
 
I see I'm the last one(15th) listed on the website and they just got my entry last week so it must be up to date...I talked to Jim last week and he still thought they would have 25-30 teams? Like Coz said it appears like many of the usuals are not listed including the 2 fat bikers. Coz are you thinking of cooking? I hope to get a chance to meet a few brethren...Stop in and say hello if you get there.

By the way this will be my first sanctioned event so go easy on me:-D
 
They have 18 teams signed up as of today...hope to see you guys there!
 
Just got back from Sparta.
Had a chance to meet Sir Smokes A Lot. He was doing some testing on chicken and was kind enough to share.
Let me tell you, that was some incredible chicken.
Once again, I was not disappointed in meeting another Brethren.
Great to meet you SSAL, hope you have a great cook!
