Summer national Results

John

I have posted the DMP points classes on the results page.

We could not have asked for any better weather, pullers and spectators and our event sponsor, James River Equipment.  When it is at 80-85, that is what make horsepower.

 20 trucks in the 6400 class. When we have numbers drop in other classes, 6400 sure come out to play. Gerry Young was the first hook and ran a 307.90. Dropping this hook and the sled set he came back to place 6 feet better on his second hook. Playing the waiting game until Kevin Schools having a full pull of 322.22. This truck has seemed to pick up some HP over the winter. The last two pulls this truck has been on the top spot. Frankie Parker falling into the same tracks end up in the third spot. Brad Diggs having his hook in the middle of the class to be fourth and Jerry Smith just two hooks ahead of Kevin to place fifth. 

Well short of the 7800 tractors. I was hoping to see more at this event. Josh Sims on his first hook of the season takes home the win. Roger Collier in the seat of Adams tractor to be second and Parran Bean on the third spot. In the next events to come we will look at a floating finish in these classes that have less than 6 in the class. 

10 in the 6200 National 4x4 truck class. Having a three way pull off in the class. Ben Ellis takes home the win with a super run both times. What ever he has done, IT has worked. Just as smooth like you would want it. Jim Wiker in the second spot and Troy Nails third dropping out in the pull off with finding metal in the oil filter. Randy Brann with his new truck has placed well in the last couple of hooks. Here with DMP and with the NTPA UPOC. Shane Hanks with the GroundHog out for his first ride and placed eighth.

Wesley Keys keeping the front runner in the points with the Black Ice. Blake hawkins second with a pull off between these trucks. Brad Broy on the third spot With Donald Mongold fourth and William Bennett fifth out of 10 trucks in the class. 

5 tractors in the 7500 Modified Modified Tractors. Randy Davis on the Running Bear with a powerful run to be first in the class. Brandon Budd not wasting any nights to be second. Don Deane on the Plumbers Nightmare to be third. Having 3 T-64 turbines on his ride. Phillip Jones in the fourth spot and Len Brookhart with never seen before radial engine tractor. This tractor is the only one around, I mean in this country. 18 cylinder air craft engine. I don't know anymore on the engine to explain better. 

Steve Willson with the last hook in the 6200 TWD trucks to place first. Brandon Lee in the second spot and Boss Hog driven by Jeff Eshelman third. Both Sabrina Reed on the Mischief Maker and Beanie Branson on the Party Time having a high ride. Beanie having the engine coming to a stop while in the air and slamming hard to the ground.
