Go for it. On any given Saturday anything can happen. You have to start somewhere.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I've since been roped into doing something else this weekend, but I have it on my calendar for next weekend. I am excited to compete, and I am looking forward to meeting new friends on the BBQ circuit!
