Recap On MTE
Terry Siegle


After many years we have been averaging around 50 dents and this year it was no exception. We pushed 49+1 for good measure. All dents were fixed on the vehicle this year.
We really enjoyed the quality of the repairs this year. The top five were pretty obvious. The rest were a challenge to get the number down to 8 for prizes and trophies. (number of dents)

and
Myke Toledo for helping break a tie.
Kevin thanks for a great show for us to gather together each year.
If I forgot anyone else, well thanks.
I had a better time this year, by allowing myself to not have to visually see each and every dent pushed. There will be some changes next year by popular demand.
I try every year to make the changes stick, but for some reason get run over. Next years Dent Olympics will be fun, but also a little stricter on some rules that will change.
I want to thank all that participated in the Dent Olympics, I really appreciate it. I would love to thank Kevin for helping our mobile industry gather for this show.
