    Thanks guys!

    I think there were 15 to 20 people in the qualifier.

    If the burgers weren’t so darn hot, I may have dropped around 30 seconds from my total.

    Call me a minor leaguer all you like… just don’t call me broke.

    I’d probably be compEATing alot more often if gas was $1.50 – $2. a gallon, instead of $4.50

    Excellent job Joe. You truly are one of the world’s best in 5 minutes or less. Yeah, there may be a few people out there who might be as good, or a bit better, but you are one of the elite, regardless.

    I like your comment, about you not being broke. Right now it’s better to be where you are than in the IFOCE, money-wise.

    If they keep going at this rate, in 2 years, THEY will be the mom and pop organization, if they continue to exist at all.
