Looks like a change in weather. Isolated thunderstorms, breezy, and highs in the mid 70's. Beats the hell out of 104.

I would still like to see the string bikini rule stay in place.

Yeah,I saw the weather changes today .Jay,what has been your experience at comps,if it rains do they generally go on as planned anyway ? I would hate to drive all the way up and find out it is cancelled. I will be keeping an eye out on the weather reports as it gets closer

Boy are you (we) spoiled. Have you ever heard stories from Kansas City. Man, I think they had 4 weekends in a row of rain, lightning and wind this year. But it's just like football, ya play no matter what. It's all part of the game. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

 Well, if that's the case, Chris might just get an earfull from a lot of teams. As far as I know he has not relayed this info to any teams as of yet. They haven't even changed their website in four years. Just check out my team bio...that's from 2004. They ask for a new one every year and I give it to them. They do not communicate well.

They do state on the website: 'MEAT INSPECTION AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS
All meats cooked at the Best Dam Barbecue challenge MUST be USDA-approved meat or have been purchased from a USDA-inspected source. Cookers must be able to show proof of this.'

It doesn't say you can't trim your meat ahead of time but they require proof of USDA.

I just got off the phoen with Chris Carroll and she told me that the health dept. is really cracking down in NV after that whole needle/hepatitis thing a few months back,Chris said the whole pre-trimmed thing is mostly directed at Vendors,not competitors.Chris said she did not think there would be a problem pre-trimming meat for the comp,as long as you have the receipts to show where and when it was purchased.HOWEVER,she also said that there is a new health dept. rep that will be there and will be following the codes pretty much to a T and that things will be tight, so she CANNOT guarentee that if you have trimmed meat ,for the competition,that the health dept. will accept it.She doesn't think that there will be a problem,but things are kind of upside down there right now, and there seems to be some confusion as to what the health dept. will allow for sure.One thing she did say is that they will be checking to make sure meat is on ice and at correct temps(duh,no kidding,as usual)and that there is NO cross contamination of meats.I asked her more about the cross conatmination thing and she said that the chicken,beef, and pork must all be kept seperate from one another,especially if it is pre-trimmed,she said that if it is all together,in the same cooler, and pre-trimmed,the health dpt. may not allow it.So take it for what it's worth,Chris said they are having a pretty hard time with the health dept.this year ,but trying to work with them.Should be interesting
