Last local hook of the year.

Had our last "close to home" pull today. It turned out pretty good, with two 1st. place finishes. Plus it is not broke! The track was a little rough like usual. I petaled quite a bit in the light class. Made it 341' 1". Battery cable came loose. Put 30+ on 2nd place.



Matt pulled in the heavy, did an awesome job going 387' 11". He was the only truck to make it down the track.

You guys are awesome with your trucks. Keep posting this stuff...

I did not think Matt was going to stop... just take the sled to wal-mart and get some groceries...

I wish they would do stuff like this out in Az. About 30+ years ago they had a few truck/tractor pulls but nothing for many years. I guess since they got rid of alot farming in Az ,the intrest is not here. I catch one ever now and then when back in the mid-west. Please keep posting.. Nice Hook...

Curt looks awsome, that P is turning some revolutions!!!

LOADHAULER04, I've got lots of farming around me, but no intrest in pulling. I hear out at et motor park they do one everyonce in a while. But that's a long drive for me! I bet I could talk to a few farmers around me and I could spark an intrest with them, if I were to have enough guys that would pay some money and would show up. But theres the problem, I bet alot would say hell yhea lets do it, but when time came to do it they would back out.

93 Flatbed, Yea, I know what you mean about no shows, but everybody is busy trying to stay above water. When I was a teenager I used to work for a farmer in Arlington, which is Southwest of Buckeye, but that was 30 some years ago. Havent been to Buckeye in at least 15.
