Joe what's the story for getting a spot under the big tent? Is it for sponsors or pilots?

If you look on the www.bestinthewestjetrally.com website you can rent 10X10 and 20x20 tent space in the pilot area. Costs/locations etc are on the site.

I like to thank Clay Seddon and Monster Energy for sponsoring Best In The West, this will be Monster Energy's 2nd year sponsoring the event. They provided all the signs to the event, Pilot signs on the tents, and vendor signs and cases of Water, this year Monster Energy will provide some of the Monster Energy Girls to hang out at the show on Friday and Saturday. Thanks again Clay and Monster Energy!
