Does anybody have any information on the Smoke On The Water contest on May 21-22 at Phoenix International Speedway. It was listed on Pellet Envy's schedule for 2010. It sounds like a Ron Cates promoted contest.

I sent Rod an e-mail asking, I will see what he comes back with.  I know we are planning several events around that time, but nothing with this name or out at this location..

This is part of the Nascar King of the Pit BBQ contests put on by Smoke on the Water Productions. They have been to a few racetracks and are planning more......with TONS of MONEY!!!!!

One of Ron's contests is the USA Barbecue Championship in Little Rock, Arkansas....offering $100,000 in prize money....$20,000 GC. Even 10th place overall pays $700. 1st place in each catagory is $4,000 and even pays $100 for 14th. Entry fee is $450.

  "There's talks of creating another sanctioning body which will be created by the cooks for the cooks." This is a quote from Ron Cates.

Rod said that the date may be incorrect. He said it was scheduled for the week of the Nascar race.

Yea, I saw that, but even on their web site, they don't have anything listed in Phoenix.  And our NASCAR Races are not in May here either.

We have been trying to get in touch with them for about a year now to get the AZ NASCAR events included on their tour, so that would be cool..

And yes, they do have some Big $$$ at their events..

Well, hopefully they get in contact with us as we already have events scheduled for the weekends of Both NASCAR races here in Phoenix in 2010..

Ouch, that's the Scottsdale contest.  It would be hard to change the Nascar contest if it's in the works. In fact you couldn't...it's Nascar and IT'S BIG!!! :o

True, but I couldn't imagine that they would come out and plan a contest without feeling out the local scene.

I sent them an e-mail and will wait to hear back from them.

Big Announcement planned for Jan 1st on the Scottsdale event as well..

Nope, nothing is planned or confirmed as of yet.  They supposedly are in talks, but nothing is solid from what I have been told.
