It would be great to have you come out here Bob I'm going to try to go to a contest back east hopefully for a contest this winter. Actually on the wrist roller we put 75 lbs. and the fastest time wins. The last time we did this Fatboy's winning time was 9.31 sec. prior to that I think the fastest time 4.88 by Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
