Results?

17.76 won, 9.83 was 2nd, 8.14 3rd

We had 17 entries only 8 teams weighed in, it was really tough.

But with all the sponsors, raffles, and entries we should have somewhere around $3,200 to buy bikes. We will buy them on Black Friday to get the best bang for our buck.

The team that won jerry and Riley, donated the big bass pot back to us to buy more bikes.
