Billy, you have lost your mind if you think you will get a lifetime membership.  

Alot of changes have happened over the winter. I was surprised to hear what will come to DMP this season. Look for some top notch trucks and tractors in the points chase.

6200 Open will be a close one. To see if Still Grumpy will stay or move up. I was looking to put one name out there but to see it being parted out and possible a national truck to be built. I have to pick Still Grumpy.

The 6250 trucks are not an easy pick. Back to back championship will be a tougher battle. I will pick Showtime. 

The 6200 National 4WD will be a class to watch. Waiting to see who will run Grand National series. There are about 7 trucks that are less than 25 miles or so from Millers Tavern. Don't count out the others also. It will be the one that will go the distance and make all pulls to come out on top. 

6400 Pro Street. There were two trucks that were in the backround and not being noticed until later in the season. Both trucks have the power to be at the top but can you have it on kill on every pass. I will pick Team Simmons. 

The 7800 LSP tractors will have a repeat. Team Collier has shown that they have found the right combo with the Ford to be a contender. Being a fan of Orange, I hope to see Mr. Bean in the second spot. 

10,000 Super Pro Farm has its top notch pullers also. Watch out for the bull, The Mechanical Bull that is. Some say it's like riding a bicycle, you remember how, it's just getting back in the groove. 2014 was the learning but 2015 will be the lesson. Look to see for some newer tractors in the class. Can this be a repeat for the Harvester, yes it can no bull about it.  

11,000 Hot Farm has been changed and so has the tractors. Some moving up, some moving back and some coming back. This will be a good class of different colors to compete. It will be hard to say cause of not seeing what the new rules will bring out. I will wait till the first hook and then pick. If I had to pick right now, it would be Pap's Blue Ribbon. 

12,000 Altered Farm not having any changes on the last name but to see Bill back in the top spot. 

8050 RWB diesel truck class had seemed to bring out more trucks this year. At the test n tune there were some good power put on the track. 5 trucks total for the day. One with a new paint smell. Not even 12 hours old. I have a name for this truck. " A Little of This" fits this Poore Boys ride. Watch them rise to the top.

You guys are making all the easy picks.  Lets stir the pot here a bit.  Kick start some trash talking a bit...

6200 National Wyatt Sours - Really anyone from Goshen, Craigsville, Lexington
6400 Tommy Henley - Simmons 2nd / Goat/Young 3rd
6200 National Wyatt Sours - Really anyone from Goshen, Craigsville, Lexington
8050 RWB John Kuykendall - Consistency is King!  Poore 2nd / Luechauer 3rd
6200 Outlaw Steve Simmons - Same story here...
7800 Steve Flint - Headcase is going to be a Headache for others.  Paul Schrock / Adam Collier 2nd/3rd.  Busy year for Adam!
10,000 Pro Farm Thurman Munford - Gonna get his pump and run it out of the gate all year. E L 2nd / Adam 3rd / Chad 4th
12,000 Altered Bill Balderson
12,000 Hot Allen Burner - Riley 2nd / Sandridge 3rd

Ok, my picks are easy ones too.  I don't really care who wins, but I look at the manner in which they win.  Was the person a terror on the track and a friend off?  If anything can be learned is that nice guys can finish first!  Persistence, hard work and tenacity are all rewarded.

7800 Light Pro Stocks.  I have rubbed elbows with the best talent around and we are sure to see some good opposition this year early and often. Jeff Mikloiche aka "Demented" asked me who the tractor to beat was in our league.  I said Adam Collier.  No doubt that the Colliers Pulling Team will be a threat all year.  Bob Martin has said he is gunning for high quality wins and has the record to prove that.  Josh Sims 2012 LPS winner will be around.  And we may have us another blue one coming middle of the year.  Can't wait.  What a difference a year makes.  But I think Steve has the horsepower to make a serious run here.

10,000 Super Pro Farm.  People noticed how well all our pullers did at the Keystone Nationals.  Several of our pullers whooping up on the competition up there will be going at it all year long.  Thurman Munford, the legend, the Bull.  Thurman will be riding in the seat and shaking his head "yes" all year long and well into the foreseeable future.  Pulls will be close all year.  But if he can keep his weights on, he will be leaving the others in the dust.

6200 National 4x4.  Why Sours, his truck has some great initials and a great name.  Look at the trucks that are there at every pull and pick one of em.  Also look at the truck that gets some wins in early.  I look for a stronger showing of local trucks than ever before.  I could envision 25 trucks at any of the given big events we put on for this class.

6400 Pro Stocks 4x4.  Best group of trucks anywhere.  Looking at the pulls from last year and just look at the top 3 from each and a few names just jump out at you: Smith, Young, Simmons, Schools, and Henley.  If Tommy and Kevin were there at every event, the top seven would look drastically different.  Pick your top three and they are likely to be All Mixed Up.

What happened to the lawn mowers that were to race.

You will be happy Ford Puller.  6200 outlaw trucks, 6200 small block and the 8000 rwb diesel trucks were FORD.
