Laughlin - it was hot. Vic Sessions trounced everyone else. He beat the

second place team by 24 points. We're going to have to start handicapping

these things. From now on, Vic can only use Kettle grills and can't start

cooking until 5 am. DOH! he does that now!

It was a nice contest, the organizer worked hard to see we had what we

needed, the Edgewater was a great sponsor, with prize money and a buffet

dinner for the teams, and did I mention it was hot!

I was by Asleep at the Grill and the Arizona Kid, who are always a pleasure

to be around. I met Holy Smokes it's Adam's Rib (Reserve Champion) from

Arizona who cooks on a Lifetyme pit that looks pretty nice and is relatively

inexpensive (same neighborhood as a Lang).

My team (Mojave Hot Stuff) was on the rebound from a terrible showing in

Azusa in August, and we improved our scores, which I was happy about.

All in all, it was a very nice contest, and I hope they do it again next

year!

Congrats to Vic, Lakeside (second Reserve Champion who won $500), and all

the other teams. (Once again, Southern California teams did the best, with

the exception of Holy Smokes It's Adam's Ribs. The Northern California and

Arizona teams are getting better though - we'd better get some more contests

and Q-fests organized to keep our edge!)
