Just got back from Valley Forge yesterday and it was a great trip. We were able to sweat some great pool and hang out with friends old and new. Chad and I want to thank everyone who joined us for the free coverage and the Pay Per View.
We gave away the Jack Justis case on Wednesday night and the winning number was 1777. That number belonged to Patrick Dicker of Phoenix, Arizona. Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest and extra
special thanks to Mr. Jack Justis for donating one of his magnificent cases to TAR.
The event was lots of fun and the format has lots of promise for the future. I think the high entry fee model is the way of the future and Allen Hopkins seems committed to leading the way. We are proud to have been a part of the inaugural event.Everyone at TAR would like to thank Allen for having us. We also want to thank the event sponsors for putting their resources behind this unique event: Diamond Billiard Products, Ivan Simonis, The Laser Rack and Run Out Sportswear.
A quick note about the Laser Rack, we were fortunate to meet Abe Lim the owner of Laser Rack. Abe is an engineer by trade and a pool fan just like us. He is passionate about the game and a great guy. Abe donated a Laser Rack to TAR and told us to do what we want with it. We thought about using it as a prize for a give away but Adam "The Sleeve" Behnke came up with a better idea. He said "You guys should keep it to use on new tables if you tap the balls in. Set up the rack and then tap the balls. You know it will be perfectly straight." Another great idea from The Sleeve and that is exactly what we will do. This rack really does a great job. I think it will really shine in One Pocket where a straight rack is especially critical. It is a great product by a guy that is doing it for all the right reasons. We want to thank Abe for his donation and wish him well in the future. Like most new products only time will tell if the players accept it but this rack does its job without a lot of hassle and mess so I think it has a great shot.
Ken Schuman and Fred Agnir were able to make it back to the booth and did a great job as always. The trip was a ball for all of us and we thank everyone who made it possible. I could go on forever about all the stuff we saw and did but I am lazy so I will let the pictures do the talking.
Easy E came down for the first couple of days. For those who dont know, Easy is just a big hairy American winning machine.
The Laser Rack in action. The red lights are the lasers (duh). It works pretty sporty.

Johnny giving Tony "T-Rex" Chohan a hard time after the meeting or as Johnny calls him "Big Head". We gave Tony a new nickname as well: TAR Donk.
