South Boston Breakdown

John

It has been some time since the last post pull report. I will try to paint a picture if you missed it.

When I was approaching the gate, two ladies met me with the two biggest smiles I have ever seen. Both were so happy and was pleased that I came to the pull and hoped I would enjoy it. You just don't see this any more. After I told her that I was the announcer, they told me where to go and look for the RED shirts who will help me. It did not take me long to figure it out who that would be. The entire cooking and EATING crew was in red. Hats off to the ladies and gents for the fine food.

Started off with the 15,000 farm tractors and Ole Moe finished up in the top spot with Amanda on the seat. I telling you fella's don't mess with the bull.

Three hooks in the 6200 open class. I was shocked that was all that came out. Must have been a pull somewhere else.

The hot farm class having 9 tractors in the class. Lightsout claims another win for the books. Second to last hook and was able to put 4 feet over top Daniel that was second. Doug Layman on the sole JD in the class to be third and Jason on the fourth spot and Bob Martin in the fifth spot. No speeders this week. Swope, Bill B., Wayne B,, Bill Catlett for the rest of the placing.

In the 6400 Pro Stock were 9 pullers also. Greg Griffith with the first hook to run a 306 and keeping it to finish up in the sixth place. Rookie Scottie Neil to place fourth and hold on to the 3rd place in the points.Just 2 points over Randy Brann whick finished third for the night. Good to see the Chief Crew Boss back and a weekend free from the Drifter. Seldon Seen having the seat covered by Bunky Davis with a second place finish to keep Kevin's truck in the top spot in the points. 12 points behind is Haymaker with one of his not so best runs. Gerry drops back in points and was able to hold on to the fifth place finish. The one that surprised me was Ole Goat. Came off the line HI on the rpm;'s to have the only full pull in the class with a 323 and some change. That trucked hooked at the 250 mark and sat down and away it went. Don't count Ole Goat out yet, this class has a 1 drop pull ruling in the points and he could catch up to be in the top three very easy. Just who are the top three is still to early to figure.

In the 7800 LPS was Paul Martin on the 966 IH to place first. Just bearly putting enuff on Josh Sims to be second. Paul Schrock finishing third and still holding on the points lead and Ragan on the Demo Deere was fourth and second in the points. Total of 6 in the class. Rookie Steve Flint having trouble in the fuel delivery to place sixth with Roger Collier on the hot seat of Adam's Ford to place fifth.

7 in the RWB diesels class with Jevon on the top spot for the night. Points runners matt Clary second and points leader John Kuykendall placing fifth to still be in the points lead. Working on the points sheet on this class and I know I have not entered all of the points runners for the class. I am getting this close to have the results posted soon.

I have to say this, there are not many places we go to put on a pull that we are greeted with a hardy handshake and are so pleased we are there to put on a pull. This gives me a great feeling that DMP trys to do every week to ensure the we put on the best show possible. This could not be done by the sled or announcer alone, IT takes pullers that we (DMP) have to do this. I thankyou for what you, the pullers do on and off the track week in a week out. This is why I will go and be part of this group of people anywhere.
