It's time to let everyone know, I have been working on this years event at Arizona Automotive Institute's event(yet to be named). This year AAI has teamed up with Max's Sports Bar, to help support BACA Bikers Against Child Abuse, AZ Barbeque, and United Blood Services.  The only week that we can do this is October 11th, and 12th.

We will be hostings BACA annual ride, they had 250 riders last year and are looking at 350 to 400 for this year event. The school and Max's have started all the permits to close 46th Ave. on the 12th. BACA will have street vendors there, I have our main parking lot for the comp. (no crossing the street), Max's is currently working with another group to cover the Beer truck, and AAI will be doing a car show and an open house.

We are looking to have between $2,000 to $3,000 in prize money. Mike King from Swimmin is Smoke, has already told me he is in as a sponsor for this years event again. If there is anyone that knows of a business that would like to help us out with the prize funds please let either me or Mike Riemann know.

So now that I'm done rambling on, who is up for another good time close to home in Glendale?

I would really like to see you at this event

We just drove through Glendale today coming from the new outlets by the stadium. As we passed AAI, my wife and son commented on how much they enjoyed attending last's years event. Great location, great people, great time. Thanks, Bob!

Rock on Mike! Thx. Love to go to Dana Point but..... you know, gotta go after those BCS points!

[FIREANDDESIRE]

Had a good time last year, we'll be there again.

Looking forward to this one for sure. Practicing my brisket also. I don't see a reason why this won't be a big event, as last year we did not have much time to promote.

Make sure you all get your registrations in for our 2nd Annual Out of the Ashes BBQ Comp up in Springerville in September as well.
