I know they don't want to change the date.... but could they change the date. I mean can't they have their biggest sales day of the year a week earlier?

I'm just sayin. It would be awesome for the competitors if they could do both contests. Even teams from east of here would come out and do both contests. Pulte could be even bigger with bigger names! I'm just sayin.

The problem you get into there is that do competitors have enough $$ to do both events.  I don't think so.  I know I couldn't pull off doing 2 events a week apart.

If God wanted us to be Vegetarians, why did he make animals out of meat??

Don't know about everybody, but at least give them the option. If someone here can't afford it they will just do Pulte. The big boys will stay for the second contest to get the biggest bang out of their gas money and driving time.

As of now, that is not an option with Pulte..

I have to say that I agree with them.  They have had that weekend for 4 years.  It's not fair to them to have to move it.

I am going to remove this topic later today as it is not productive to what we have going on here at AZBarbeque and I don't want to promote an event we are not yet supporting.  We have to keep our loyalities to those who have helped us get to where we are today.  ;)

Mike, I hear what you are saying, but I would not remove the topic if I were you.   Perhaps put it in some other forum (because you are correct, it has nothing to do with AZ Barbeque future events), but removing it and pretending it is not an issue is not the right or honest approach in my opinion.

As to the thought of getting Cates to move to Sunday turn in  before the race .... that sounds like a giant pipe dream.  I just can't envision big race day turn ins that start early and end an hour befoe the flag drops.  It is more likely they'll proceed with a devil may care attitude ....

I don't think I have ever said it was, "My" forum. 

But I do try to do what is in the best interest of the club and what we have worked for so many years to establish..

No Mike you have always said it is ours. So why do we want to advertise for a competitor?

You can't drink all day if you don't start early.

Mike, I'm just throwing some thoughts and ideas out there. It's 10 months away and just putting something out there to think about. I thought I was participating in a productive conversation. If not...my bad. You do what you think is right.

You know I always value your thoughts & Opinions Jay.  Never would have gotten to where we are today without them.

Keep the conversation going for now and if at some point it does need to be moved off line, then we will do it..  ;)

My thoughts only were that by us discussing it, we were giving them more press than they deserved at this point.  Down the road, that could be a different story.  Hopefully..

This discussion is more of an advertisement for Pulte than anything. Look at the support being thrown there way despite a conflicting contest ....and that includes me.
