Prior to the 2001 season, after using 2 different crates in previous 4 years, 330 decided it was time to make a crate that could be used for many years. We just started the 11th year with that crate. During that time, it’s traveled to events in 7 states and 2 countries. It’s been dropped, banged, stabbed by a forklift, and tagged by many teams (especially 254 and 980).

Las Vegas Regional           2009                     300

That totals over 80,000 miles round trip. How many miles does your crate have?

With bag and tag becoming more prevalent, our crate may never make 100,000 miles.
