update May 6 Kerry Speckman has a contest report with pictures.
The 10:36pm comment noticed that Jon Bello’s 125 wings almost doubled tripled 125 the 65 45 wings he was credited with in the Augusta qualifier in April. I am not aware of any equivalent quantum leaps during a qualifier circuit. (Sonya Thomas 2003 Nathan’s 18 HDB -> 25 HDB, Joey Chestnut 2005 Nathan’s 20.5 HDB -> 32 HDB)
Announced Results:
1) Adrian Morgan 150 wings, Hooters circuit record
2) Jon Bello 125 wings
3) Tim Janus 124.5 wings
Kerry Speckman is at the contest and posting updates on twitter.
