[Smokin' Gnome BBQ]

Just confirmed that I'll be there. Does anyone have any idea much prize money they have for this contest? They don't have a website and I can't find that information anywhere.

I think I saw $4000.00+ prizes/awards some were..

I hear 47 teams - one week to go could hit 50.

I also heard about 4K in prize money. Seems like a big turn out for such little money but I wouldn't miss it - it's only about 30 minutes away.

I was thinking the same thing, I don't recall the proceeds assisting any charity.... so I wonder where all the money is going.

In the past, any proceeds went to support the programs at the county rec center that sponsors the events. I was hoping the prize pool would be a bit higher this year. Last year, the event got A LOT of exposure at the local level which I thought would help translate into finding sponsors which has been problematic for this competition and why the prize pool is subpar.
The reason it draws teams is because it's a state championship which makes it a qualifier for the Jack, AR, etc.

I'm coming down to Judge...

I have heard that this was a nice event last year and that they were in need of judges this year.... so I am heading down!

Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday! Good luck to all..... :icon_cool

It is a nice event and the weather is looking much nicer than last year when the temps were well over 100. It was 121 in the judges tent . It should be in the low 80's this Sunday :-D See ya there Andy!!

Brett

7th place overall flying solo, great job Brett!

 

[DCFIREMANN]

What a good time we had. EVEN IN THE RAIN! One thing about fighting fires is they happen in all kind of weather. So I think we are used to that kind of crap. We are kind of disappointed with our finish. Not sure why, but hope we can step it up a few notches in DC in 2 weeks.

Gald to meet some new and visit with some old. Hell we missed the "LUCKY SHOT" Sunday morning. Maybe that's what happen.

Brett get job flying solo. Congrats to 3 EYZ, The Guru, and The Pigs!

Be Safe
