| Wow, this barrel looks very clean. Sources tell Barrelhorses.com it is an exact copy of those in the arena. Will the winner get to take this one home? |  |

If you forgot it, you can buy it here. The tack and trailer vendors are in full force. For many these dealers provide great shopping only days before Christmas. |
| This is the alley way into the arena. Those that see the arena from this vantage point have paid big bucks to be here. But, what really counts is what happens beyond the timer. As the sign says... this is the "Gateway of Champions". One barrel racer from a few years back told us that the scariest part is coming out of the arena. Ha. |  |

The Barrelhorses.com ACTION CAM has caught several people in the warm up area. Only minutes away from making the run that could put them in the running for big money. This is not the time to knock a barrel. Play time is over, all of these runs count! |
