Jedd Johnson Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Entry form is here: GGC 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Some important notes on GGC. - You need to reserve your Comfort Inn Room as soon as possible. They are the only ones I could get a discount with. There is tons of Natural Gas mining going on around here and there are tons of migrant workers taking up the hotel rooms, so get on that ASAP. - The Medley is going to be a bunch of stuff loaded to platforms, and to lockout. I am going to shoot a video of all the GGC medley items soon. - I am toying with the idea of running both the championship portion and a novice portion for those who have never entered a contest before. The scoring will be separate for each. But it depends on how many participants sign up for GGC. Let me know if you have any questions. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Competitor List - Paid Robert Alva Dave Thornton Jedd Johnson John Eaton Brent Barbe Chris Rice Competitor List - Probable Frank Snyder Mike Rinderle Bobby Goodfellow Zach Coulter Andrew Durniat I think I am missing somebody but I am on Labor Day vacation and my notes are at home, so please post here if I missed you. Also, don't forget to reserve your room at the Comfort Inn soon. Like I said, the gas companies are gobbling up rooms all over the place. Who's gonna take the title??!!

Hubgeezer Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am in. And here is a promise. You are going to see the two best pair of shoes ever seen at a Grip Contest. My competition shoes, and my traveling shoes. The absolute best. I can't make any other promises other than I will be driving the most rinky dink rental car you have seen as well (the most bottom of the line PriceLine has to offer, whatever that will be). Made my travel arrangements yesterday. I am in. Look forward to seeing a couple of you guys again. Look forward to meeting the rest of you!

Guest Bullitt Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Glad you are making the trip Mike. It will be great to meet you. Ditto!! Just booked my room. Ended up getting one at the Red Roof in Wilkes-Barre (about an hour away) for cheap. Crazy pumped for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAU1985 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This should be made into a DVD and sold on the Diesel Crew website. All you need is a digital Camcorder, DVDR's and someone with a PC that can edit it into a DVD burn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Maybe post the information for others who might be interested? Red Roof Inn Wilkes-Barre (more information) 1035 Highway 315 | I-81 at Business State Route 309, Exit #170-B | Wilkes Barre, PA 18702 | US | (570) 829-6422 $68 for a king room for wifey and me. 52 miles from Jedd's. Barring any goats in the road (yea, Goody and I almost hit two on the way there for the qualifier) it should take about 1 hour to get there.

Jedd Johnson Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hey guys, I am all set up to stream the entire GGC / Nationals on the internet via Ustream. Here's the link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/us-hand-stre...ampionship-2009 Nothing comes up right now, but we will begin streaming at 10:00 or so tomorrow. If we get everything set up early, then I will set it up to go beforehand, but we will not start the contest before 10. We'll do our best to commentate and to chat, but can't promise anything. Let me know if you have any questions, for now, check out this post on the site. http://www.dieselcrew.com/grip-strength-contest-2009/ Thanks, -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
