Eric, RamFan never said anything about which trucks were the "best". Of the pictures that he has posted so far, all of them, except the first one of Mike Clay's, are NW BOMBer guys from the Seattle area.
I'm probably leaving something out, but here's what I know of the winners:
People's Choice: Mike Clay, Portland, OR.
Best 4X4: John Triebel, Enumclaw, WA.
Best Work Truck: Shelby Griggs, Bend OR.
Best Engine: Andy Perreault (that's me), Granite Falls, WA
I'm sorry, but I don't know who won best 2WD. Maybe someone can post that. Did I miss out on any other awards?
Sam's last name is Meshulam, he and his wife, Billie, are from Everett.
BTW, looks like we lucked out on the weather. I don't know what it's like in Portland, but it's raining pretty good up here north of Seattle right now. There would have been no way for me to get my truck ready for the show if it had been raining Thurs or Fri.
