From Ron Cates ---
There's some confusion on our 2010 Schedule. It's posted on
www.smokeonthewaterbbq.com. We have 4 NASCAR events scheduled. Daytona, Michigan, Talladega and Phoenix. Phoenix was scheduled originally scheduled for April, but we felt that was too soon, so we moved it to November. As of now, we don't have the details worked out but I'm going to meet with everybody in Daytona this weekend. We will be releasing that information once the contracts are signed. This will be the only year Phoenix will be in Novemeber. In 2011, it will move back to April since we would have a whole year to prepare. What's on the agenda is creating a TOY award with $20k split among top ten tens. The money has not been finalized, so this is speculation at this point. We're also in negotiations with Dallas Cowboys Stadium for a May or June event. This is going to be billed as the world's largest tailgate party with a substantial purse. Just another reason the 90 day rule needs to be looked at because we're at the mercy of the sponsor and can't pull the trigger until they approve everything. Also, if anybody has any questions or comments about Smoke on the Water productions, please feel free to go to our website and contact us direct. Would prefer a real name so we know who we're talking to. Easy to hide behind screen names.
and there it is ---
