Ron Cates said last week that he is still working out the details with the resort.

WhiskeyBentBBQ · 01-03-2011, 08:48 AM

We are looking forward to getting all the details also. Depending on where it falls in our schedule, we may be heading out that way from Florida.

We have no shame in chasing the money. :)

Praying this one takes off. 4 hours from home and lots of cash!!!

Is this a revival of the Mandalay Bay event or are we talking about the event held in Boulder City over Memorial Day??

This is a Ron Cates, "Smoke on the Water" production. It will happen if Ron has any thing to do with it.

Bump.

Ron Cates has been quiet on this for a week now. Anyone have new inside info?

I hope it isn't on the 20/21 of May. The GAB would be hard to miss.

That's the date I think I've heard.

See you in Delaware. State # 31. I can't keep waiting on this event and being held hostage. I have a free entry for Delaware and I 'm heading to Amish country...

It's not just this contest, also got the SAMS club, kingsford cup, and in Indiana the Hoosier cup, plus all the SOTW events. Any body got ideas when these might come out.

dmprantz · 02-02-2011, 07:41 PM

Presuming this event ever happens, I had some ideas for those of you discussing the cost: One is to get a "group buy" in on a transportation company with car haulers and the like. They could probably fit six large pits on the back and get you all to and from the competition. With the group buy, it might be cheaper than driving. You could also look at PODS if your pit is small enough. None of these are cheap, but compared to a $1200 fuel bill....
