Hey guys, it has been a while since I've had time to cruise the forum and talk to you guys really due to unforeseen things coming up, but I was hoping that some guys in Alabama could point me toward some events that would be good to enter as a novice competitor, or backyard as some comps call it.
I really would like to see what my meat could do stacked up against other guys, and think it would be a great way to find out what I'm doing right, wrong, and otherwise and have some damn good fun doing it along the way.
I'm hoping to find some comps around central Alabama really, I live in Birmingham and hauling my stuff in my Jeep gets expensive when it's a long ways off. 8" of lift and 35" Bogger tires do a lot to the fuel mileage sadly (8-9 mpg), but I guess it looks cool and does a good job on the rocks.
Hoping to find some that the entry fee isn't extremely high too. I've seen some comps in other states that state their entry fee as something around $250, and that is just way outside my budget really unless they are providing the meat and stuff to the competitors as I've seen some do.
But anywho, maybe this has been discussed before and there is a good resource for finding comps around your specific area, but maybe someone can direct me to some good stuff and maybe I could even meet up with some of you guys and hang out. I'd be willing to tag along with a team as well if you needed someone to help setup and such. Seeing and working with someone who has done it before would probably be a good idea before I jump out on my own at a comp.
Thanks so much though guys, and I look forward to hopefully hearing that there is a comp around here that is within reach! -Cory
