once again...this cutting off posts is getting tiresom..... I remember the first weekend there were BRTs shown here...it was at the Howard County shows in Maryland. The BRTs' ring was in the middle of the building (the main building there is a long quonset type building...they usually have a long line of 7 or 8 rings....... you could hear the BRTs growling at either end of the building that weekend...... they seem to be much better these days.
