It was a grueling contest for all the athletes, but they came to compete and it was a good test of mental and physical strength for the competitors, said Curtis Lake (event promoter). It was an exciting and wild event for the spectators.
In the heavies it was “Mr. Consistency”, Somerville, who left with the title after posting four second place finishes and one top spot finish. Czaplicki came in second and Schweder, a master, was in third.
The top two competitors in each of the four weight classes are now qualified to compete at North American Strongman National Championships held in the fall.

Foot Race While Pulling Line of Ten Cars, Vehicle Dead lift Highlight Event
NEW YORK, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Four of America's strongest men are meeting at the opening of America's largest auto show to compete in a variety of contests that test pure strength and stamina. American Strongman competitors Gerard 'the White Rhino' Benderoth, Ben Lambousis, Skeet Dunn, and Brett Somerville will demonstrate mind blowing strength exhibitions including a foot race while pulling a line of 10 cars!
Two rows of ten (10) brand new cars will be linked together and strapped to the athletes' backs. When the whistle blows, the athletes will race to pull the vehicles to the finish line using only their own body strength and sheer determination.
Also on tap is the 'American Strongman Challenge(r)' which pits the athletes against each other to see who can dead lift a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 the most times in one minute.
