DieselCrew's Jim Smith, host of the Global Grip Challenge, said that with less than one month to go, the contest is drawing competitors from across the US, as well as from England.

"Records will be set and the chalk will be flying," Smith said, as guys compete on grippers, the Rolling Thunder®, vertical bar, two-hand pinch, and short bending.  Performance levels are expected to be high in this contest that is being called the US national championships and spectators are welcome, so mark your calendar for September 18.  Please check DieselCrew's website for full details.
