San Antonio, TX (March 10, 2012) – Day one of the 30th Annual George Strait Team Roping Classic was held yesterday at the San Antonio Rose Palace with a total of 545 teams from all over the country vying for the chance to compete in today’s finals for the Grand Prize of 2012 GSTRC Champions. Yesterday’s rotation payoff was $50,000. Today, the stakes are higher as the Top 50 teams compete for cash and prizes totaling well over $700,000.
“This is the Super Bowl of ropings,” says Multi-year Champion Allen Bach. “Even at 54, this cowboy is not going to miss it!”
The event, which originated as a small family roping by George and his brother Buddy in 1982, has grown into the most prestigious open Team Roping competition in the country. The GSTRC has become the premiere open in the sport with hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs each year.
The GSTRC consistently attracts the biggest names in the sport each year including past GSTRC champions Jake Long, Coleman Proctor, Brad Culpepper, Jake Barnes, Speed Williams, Rich Skelton, Tyler Magnus, Clay O'Brien Cooper, Allen Bach, Matt Tyler, Nick Sartain and Jhett Johnson. The GSTRC is not just for the big names however. As an open roping, ropers of all levels may compete alongside each other for a chance at the big winnings.
2011’s Grand Champions David Key (Header) and Jade Corkill (Heeler) both returned this year with different team mates to defend their winning positions and both made it to the finals today. Last year, they rode away with custom painted GSTRC Championship Chevy Silverado Duallies from Cavendar Chevrolet (Boerne, TX), Strait X-treme horse trailers from Bruton Trailers, Twister saddles from Tractor Supply, Resitol roping bags, jackets from Wrangler and Justin, Montana Silversmith belt buckles and half of the $174,600 cash payoff.
