Just in Case any of you fancy having a go this year we will undoubbtedly Stop at the Infamous Big Texan Steak Ranch. Just 3 of the Guests over the last 3 Years have attempted this challenge with 2 Failures and 1 Success. Only 1 in 10 people statistically complete this challenge and if you fail you pay $72 for the Meal.

The rules are simple - Eat a Shrimp Cocktail, Bread Roll, Jacket Potato and 72oz Sirlion Steak (Cooked to your Choice) In 59mins 59seconds or Under to complete the task, you have to sign a death waiver and if you throw up during the challenge you are disqualified. Oh I forgot to tell you that you are on a Big Stage in front of the whole 2 Tier Restaurant in front of 100 Tables and the place is always rocking with Storm Chasers

- Big Stu attempts 1st in 2008 and manages 54oz

- Ian Completes 72oz Challnge in 58m 11Sec in 2009

Pat Carter then attempted it also in 2009 and managed to eat 42oz so Ians Crown is still safe. Now Interestingly Stewart (Audmun) is down to attempt the challenge on Tour 1 in 2011 and if he beats Ian Cameron's Time Ian has said he will try to regain the Crown on Tour 2. Also added into the Mix will be Stu London's 2nd attempt on Tour 3 to try and Get the title for himself.

It's going to be interesting this year.

ANY OTHER TAKERS

I would but I'm only small

I'll do a Jo size one....... 12oz?

Oh and cookie, the Sheraton is alright, if not there's a holiday Inn. I think on the BA website it lists all the hotels nearby then you could run a price comparison on one of the travel websites???

[Tom Lynch]

Here is a brief taster for a couple of storms out on the plains

WITH JUST ONE SWEAR WORD TO WORRY ABOUT

Tom

[ian cameron]

Cookie there is a site that gives the rooms in the shereton for £50 a night and then its just a hoppa bus to the terminal its the one we use every year

Edited January 8, 2011 by ian cameron

[John Hanrahan]

As promised. Grabed this off me Sky plus box. Steward Robinson talking about storm chasing on de telly in Ireland.

[Tom Lynch]

This is a taster for for type of storms people are likely to see whilst out on the plains

Tom

[TornadoJo]

Lol that makes at least 7 of us on that flight - We wont be hard to find Will. Tom looks like Bruce Forsyth, Jo is typically Essex, Spray Tan, Extensions, White Red Stilettos and Me and Ian are about 30 Stone Each

Remember you need to pay for the room on the Thursday Night though, it is usually about $60 at that Hotel for a Single

Just checking this is the correct hotel in Dallas -

http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/productInfo.do?propertyCode=44524&srcPage=SelectHotel&isMapOpen=true&selectedHotels=

People who need to apply for ESTA's will need this for their application. It costs $14. Those who've been before your ESTA lasts 2 years so you're sorted

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

Going to book my room for the 28th.

Claire - if you're flying out on the 28th also you wanna share a room that night to and go exploring Dallas with me the next day?

Jo I cant remember...do you have to give your ESTA code over to the airport or is it already sorted for you if you have previously done it?

I think Stu did well in the interview, given those present it could have been a riot.

He's clearly not booked on to tour 1, and the departing BA flight that seems to be a mass take over by all accounts!

[Paul Sherman]

Yeh I agree He came across and put his point about the Subject across very well considering he could have had the Piss Ripped out of him at any moment from the looks of the Panel

Thanks for posting Hanra

Yip you'll need one. Its the online version of the Visa waiver form you used to have to fill in on the plane or on arrival. Its good for 2 years. It used to be free but there is a small charge now. No rush in getting it but make sure you do it a week or two before you fly.

I think they might still make you fill out the Visa waiver form also but that on the way out. Either way, its essential you get it done.

Stu doesn't go with us but we bump into him a good bit. He's normally with Roger Hill and Silver Lining tours. He sometimes drives for them.
