So you may have noticed a long break in the action on the Website. I recently bought a house, have been busy moving, and been without internet for about 2 weeks, leaving the website updates lacking. I have received the results from the last speed pull. I hope to get them posted before the end of the week and also get the points updated before the pull this weekend so everyone knows where they stand going into this Saturdays pull. Check back later in the week for updates.
Also, don't forget that the Jackpot Classes this Saturday Night will be D1 and D2 8700# classes. Same rules apply as all the other jackpot classes we have had. Hope to see you at the pull.

There were 118 Hooks on Sunday. Things went pretty well (once we got started, rain held us up). We would like to thank the Waterford Township guys for grading the track for us. The next pull will be Heavy to Light on July 3rd. We will be having a D1 and D2 8700# Jackpot class. Check back later in the week for the results from this weekends pull.

There was a work party today at the fair grounds to work on the sled. There was a pretty good turn out. The bottom pan of the sled was removed. Jason Lang took it home to his garage and he will be adding/repairing/replacing the wear plates on the bottom of the pan. Other work was done to the sled to get it ready for the 2010 pulling season.
The decision was also made to have a Jackpot Class at some of the pulls this year including the first pull. We will be having a Division II 6000 # Jackpot Class. This class will Guarantee $150 to the winner (if at least 10 tractors sign up). Class rules will follow our regular Division II rules. In order to participate the driver must be a club member and the tractor must pull in at least one other class prior to entering the Jackpot Class. $10 Entry Fee. Please spread the word about the Jackpot class and new calendar. If the Jackpot Class is a success it will be continued in the future. We will continue to vary the classes, both divisions and weights, throughout the season if they continue to be successful that way everyone can participate.
