| Our 6th straight year at "The Jack" was just as special as all of the other times. Maybe even more, since we were all convinced we would most likely not be back this year. Every team hopes for a chance to cook the most prestigious contest on the planet, and with an amazing lucky streak of 5 in a row, we figured we were done. Then somehow...a 50/50 draw in Virginia, and Dizzy PIg was in again! As usual, the whole team made it down, except for Chuck who badly injured his finger the day he was going to leave. He was there in spirit, and dang if Dizzy Pig didn't finish in the top ten overall for the second straight year! Congrats to our good friends on the IQue team for bringing home the World Championship trophy to New England! |

Chuck could not join us, but he sent the fixins for his cheese steaks. Kenny did them up right. |

| We were lucky to have Kenny join Dizzy Pig for yet another Jack. Here he sports a couple different styles of glasses. |
Woo Doggies!!! |

It cleared out very nicely for Saturday, as it has the past few years. Always some interesting weather at the Jack. |

| Tony always means business. Here he deals with getting some straw to soak up some of the mud we were left with. |
Steve seems to sport a new lucky hat every year. This year's hat was good for two calls to the stage in ribs and pork. |
|
|
|
| Steph always, ALWAYS, brightens up the party. |
Steve's dad Dale was especially relaxed since he didn't have to work. |
