I did it for the Last Gripmas in Ohio ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonotto Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks. We try to incorporate different strengths related events for people to try out if they are interested (anvil, stones, weight throw, armwrestling). They aren't part of the actual comp, but fun things to try out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny F Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Will be there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I booked a refundable room at the Sleep Inn about two miles from the comp. I still am not sure I can make it, but there's a good enough chance that I want to hold a room. Flights are looking not too bad from NY to Charlotte, too. Just need to figure out a few more details with my plans at work and home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Tim Butler and I are IN, rooms booked, road trip on the calendar. I am driving from Long Island and picking Tim up in NJ on the way. Anthony C. will likely join us. So there should be three New York Yankers representing. Looking forward to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny F Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Looking forward to meeting you. I mean, who wouldn't want to meet someone else with same name from same place at a grip contest? I'm a NY transplant too.. Born & raised in Brooklyn and lived in Nassau County until job relocation in 2013. My dad lives in Franklin Square, sister in Wantagh & in-laws in Massapequa. Actually coming up the week before the contest for sisters wedding. Don't take I-95. Much more scenic and cheaper taking PA Tpke to I-81 through VA mountains to I-77 into NC.

Born and raised in Suffolk County (Smithtown), lived in Brooklyn, Bronx, and Floral Park for 25 years while engaged and married, then moved back to Suffolk when divorced 4 years ago and moved in with girlfriend in Ronkonkoma this year. But I still work in Manhattan so I am in the city a lot. Thanks for the route tip. Will do the scenic route if the other guys are game and we are not pressed to make time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Anthony C is in also, so we have three NYers. And sorry to disappoint James, who asked me about Nate, but Nate can't make it -- it is his wife's Bday that weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
