Expected competitors include Tim “Eater X” Janus, Eric “Badlands” Booker, Crazy Legs Conti and “Michelle” [sic] Marie Mele. The Nathan’s location on the boardwalk will open March 18 and the main restaurant at Surf & Stillwell is hoping to complete post-Sandy reconstruction by Memorial Day.

update Registration is now open for the boardwalk qualifier. The first qualifier of the Hooters circuit in Panama City, FL is also accepting entrants.

IFOCE.com lists the qualifier cities as Las Vegas, Boston, Miami and Naples, FL, Atlanta and Savannah, GA, St. Paul, MN, Queens, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Calgary and East Rutherford, NJ.

update #2 2012 qualifer sites which are not listed include Garden City, MI, Atlantic City, Concord, NC, Thackerville, OK and Tempe, AZ. If no qualifiers are added, there will be one qualifier each in the central (St. Paul), mountain (calgary) and Pacific (Las Vegas) time zones.
