Cool. I'm marking my calendar for Nov. 8. So I intend to
enter the Elite division again. I'm guessing you'll be
doing the same. How many competitors do you think we
may have in this division this time? I hope for a
strong competitive field.

Maybe we can even get some good video coverage
and get this up on youtube (and maybe even
the strend.com website.)

See you in November!
