Never would have thought that having 4 inches of rain on Thursday we would have a pull on Saturday. Well we did. Wyatt and his supporters did a wonderful job to make this pull happen. Sun shining and wind blowing dried out the track. We started out with running two classes of trucks and a call was made to work the track. Within these two classes the track got dry and had a hard crust on top. With Hotrod and Earl on the job, they decided to peel off about 1 to 2 inches on top. This worked. Just removing this they uncovered a POWER track. You can not have a power track without claiming some parts on the track. This did happen, several times.
In the 7800 Light Pro Stock class, we had a new comer get his first win. Parran Bean on the ALLIS CHALMERS D-21 took home the win. (note the bold print) Adam Collier second and Steve Flint third with a jack shaft in the trans having breakage. Bob Martin on the IH not having a good night. It looked like he was having trouble in the fuel system.
6200 National 4x4 also had a first, Woody Campbell on the chevy " Intimidator" with his first win. Aaron Smothers second 7 feet behind. Then it was Leroy, Brian, Tracey and Wyatt.
Billy Rice keeps his win streak in tack with Jason second, Allen third, Chris fourth.
8 trucks in the 6200 Outlaw 4x4 class. Steve Simmons in the "Still Grumpy" flat out drove the others. Easing off the line and slowly on the throttle and to be full throttle about 200 foot mark never looked back. 19 feet that is. Aaron Sponaugle second and Brandon Maddox third. Some just having trouble getting the truck hooked. It might be good to have all those cubes in the engine but it does not help you one bit if you can't get it to the ground. Ask William, having the tires slip in the rim is not good.
I need to mention our newest member of the DMP family. Jamie (aka Pushrod) was on the sled and did a wonderful job. It is not easy to get on the "A" team without a stringent evaluation. Hotrod says he will pass with no problems.
