The time is now folks, the BFA (Barrel Futurities of America) World Championship Finals is taking place on November 13-21st at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma.  It all started in 1986 when the Barrel Futurities of America was established to bring unity to the Barrel Futurity Industry. They did so by setting up standards that contestants and producers follow, so all BFA events are being run under uniform guidelines.
