The Great Gamka Trowel Challenge!
Like beer and brats off the barbie? How about testing your skills as a ride-on trowel machine operator? Would you like to get prizes, give-aways and get a chance to win a free trip to World of Concrete? Shop for specially priced Wacker Neuson demo equipment? Or maybe just network with other contractors? It is all happening on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at Gamka Sales Company, 983 New Durham Road, Edison, NJ 08817 between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, rain or shine. Wacker Neuson and Gamka are co-sponsoring the Great New Jersey Trowel Challenge at Gamka's World Headquarters, part of which will be a timed obstacle course to test the skills of ride-on operators. The operator with the fastest time through the cones and no penalties will win a prize. In fact, the first 30 attendees at Gamka's Wacker Neuson Trowel Challenge will all get souvenirs and can register for a free trip to the 2011 World of Concrete on January 18-21.

In a time when other companies are cutting back or not exhibiting at tradeshows, Wacker Neuson is bucking the trend with its reenergized 2011 Trowel Challenge held during World of Concrete. Next year's challenge features more prizes, more opportunities to win and the biggest grand prize given in Trowel Challenge history - a special edition CRT 48-35VX ride-on concrete trowel, powered by Vanguard.
For 2011, Wacker Neuson has partnered with Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power and World of Concrete to offer a number of free items. In addition to the grand prize won by the fastest finisher at World of Concrete, contractors can win a free World of Concrete airfare for two and hotel stay prize package, free admission to WOC exhibits and free promotional prizes donated by Wacker Neuson and Briggs & Stratton.
So...what is the Trowel Challenge? The Trowel Challenge began as a simple contest between friends one year at World of Concrete. They used the demo concrete slab poured in Wacker Neuson's outdoor booth and maneuvered a ride-on trowel through an obstacle course to see who was the fastest finisher.
The 2011 Trowel Challenge retains the same original concept but adds more course obstacles and an impact penalty meter to reward operator finesse, while pushing operator skills to the limit. While skill and finesse are required, speed is paramount. The fastest operator maneuver through the obstacle course will be crowned the fastest finisher, winning the customize CRT48-35VX trowel.
What makes the grand prize trowel so special? You can't get this special edition trowel anywhere else. It's been built by a joint venture between Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power and Wacker Neuson. It's truly the trowel that sounds like and thinks it's a Harley.
Briggs & Stratton's engine application center built the trowel's V-twin Vanguard Big Block™ engine especially for this grand prize. The engine features straight pipes, chrome accents and operates at an ear-shattering 125 dB(A). Don't worry, sound-dampening baffles are being provided for the faint of heart.
The rest of the trowel is also tricked-out with chromed handles, spiders, blade guards, exhaust pipes and wiring. Best yet, it is fully operational and will prove to everyone on the jobsite that you are the fastest finisher in the world.
Trowel Tours the U.S. Starting in November, 2010, and ending at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, this special edition CRT 48-35VX trowel will be touring the U.S., making stops at dealers like Gamka Sales and jobsites in select cities.
