where is this located. just a quick question, im a pretty good athlete who has never done strongman before. would it be worth my while to try to compete in the 231’s?
Just wanted to let everyone know that this is shaping up to be a great contest.
Socko energy drinks is getting behind the contest, along with Kevin Nee, so it should be a huge event. There will be a Socko tour bus at the contest and I’m sure free energy drinks for the athletes.
The contest is going toward charity so I’m working to get a lot of sponsors and get news coverage for the event and have a huge crowd watching. The venue really will cater toward a good contest to spectate.
Equipment-wise you will see top of the line stuff, ironmind axles, brute strength farmers, ironmind sandbags, williams strength car deadlift, tires with good tread, and stones built by me using slater’s molds.
Willie Wessels is planning to come out to run/judge the show (along with Kevin and myself) so you know it will be top notch and fair.
I have many oral confirmations and entries are already starting to come in. The permits are in the works and the date will be finalized at the end of the week. It is all but set in stone so plan on January 20th, actual start time TBA.
Just letting everyone know there has been a date change for this event.
February 10th, 2007 is the new date.
This worked out better for the venue as well as NAS and we should be able to pump a lot more promotion into the event.
I have already received 10 entries and have at least another 10 in oral confirmations. I’m anticipating 40 athletes so please get your entries in as soon as possible.
If you are in Phoenix or nearby you should definitely come to the event or consider competing.
Good news guys. I was not completely satisfied with only 10 rooms and the $139/night rate from Hampton so I’m working on something better.
I met with the host sponsor today Socko Energy Drinks and they are looking into getting us their corporate rate from Hampton. They may be able to block off some more rooms too. Even better, they are checking into getting their rate from Scottsdale Plaza Resort which is much cheaper, but a much nicer hotel. It is just a few miles south of the contest venue.
