All MSD Final at Friday Night Top Dog Shootout -
Friday Night at Dezert Demonz 2.18.05
After getting cancelled the last two Friday nights Dezert Demonz finally got to hold the first Top Dog Shootout for 2005. It was a good turnout but not as big as most Shootouts - no one really knew about this one or if it was going to happen. Luckily it did, it was a nice night too.

It was a pair of MSD employees running for the first official ET record at DD.
