    Thanks for the pics. Those are some major league wheels on the XLs. Is that Bobby Q's setup?

    Hey Bordello,the back wheels are welded/bolted so that they can't turn.Only the front wheels swivel,so it's very easy to steer up the ramp ;)

    Great pictures! The nest set up with the huge tires is really neat. I've been thinking about some sort of nest that I could put together for car camping for a small Egg and that might fit the bill.

    :laugh: Not if it were me after a day of parting. :silly:

    I'm sure they are very careful and wouldn't we all be.

    Looks like a great way to load.

    Hey Julie,it was a great time,but there were many more eggs there.I just didn't get pics of all of them :blush: It was very impressive though :woohoo: ;)

    Thanks Scott,I hope that it works out for ya.Just keep in mind that these tires are foam filled,you really don't wanna have a flat.Also,the two back wheels were welded or bolted(not casters),so you can steer it pretty easily with the front wheels ;) :ohmy: Bobby-Q had a great set-up :woohoo: :)

    All the good ideas (the foam filling of the tires etc.) and the hard work was done by Charlie and his good friend.

    I apologize for not spending more time conversing with you Doug. I can see from your pictures that were definitely paying attention and gave that nice Nikon a work out.

    Can I steal some of your shots for my web site?

    The Classic almost looked like an EGGFEST. I think there were eight or more total Egg Teams in Pro and many other Eggs being used by both Pro and Backyard. Far cry from a few years back when Ms.Diane and I showed up with four Eggs at Dillard and spent a lot of time explaining how we were going to cook a contest. Team Bobby-Q, Green Eggs and Ham, Celtic Wolf , and a few others have made an impact on the compeetion world. Most now know what they are now.

    Sorry we didn't get to talk much Saturday. Should had come by to the after party. We had a great weekend but we usually do with the BBQ Family and Friends. Most saturday evenings after a contest we all gather up,order pizza or something can get delivered and have an unwind social.

    Thanks for posting all the photos.
