The American Bicycle Association and ABA National Series Sponsor Fire Magic Premium Grills has announced the 2008 Fire Magic Grill-Off Series heating up a national race event near you.

Competition is open to all individuals, groups and teams in attendance and will take place on Day One (Saturdays) at nine (9) designated outdoor national race events throughout the season. To enter, participants are required to prepare on-site, and with their own equipment, an outdoor grill recipe of their choice and submit a prepared sample with written recipe and recipe name before the end of that day’s second qualifying round. Entries will be judged based upon taste, presentation and originality of name, with the day’s top five (5) finalists being entered into a random drawing to win one of the most innovative, finest outdoor grills on the market today—the all-new Fire Magic Aurora A530s (A530s-1E1N-62 / stand-alone model) or A530i (A530i-1E1N / built-in model) worth a retail value of $4,573.00 and $2,844.00 respectively. With a list of incredible features, including industry-best cast stainless steel burners that are guaranteed for life, the A530s—like every Fire Magic Grill—burns hotter and cooks better than any grill you have every owned—unless, of course, it’s been a Fire Magic.

There is no cost to enter and participants can enter as many unique recipes, in as many of the Grill-off competitions as they choose. ABA and Fire Magic reserve the right to select the judge(s) and all recipes will be anonymously submitted to the judge(s) for top five (5) selection and inclusion in a random drawing for that day’s award, with a Fire Magic grill being awarded prior to the start of that day’s main event. Entrants must be present to win and can choose from either the stand-alone or built-in models—which will be available for pick-up from a Fire Magic dealer in your area sometime before December 31, 2008. Sales tax on all awards will be the responsibility of the winners.

Likewise, every non-winning recipe entered throughout the course of the Fire Magic Grill-off Series will automatically be entered into a random drawing at the Friday Night Spectacular at the Grand Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the winner taking home a Fire Magic A530s or A530i. Previous grill winners will not be eligible for this drawing. So fire up your grills because the more you enter, the more chances you have to win!
