Ken: The wife and I were talking about the rain today on the way home from breakfast at one of the local fire departments, saying that it sure looks to be a repeat of last year. It's so wet around here that a toad took cover under the rear tire of the CA that's been sitting on the trailer that last two weeks since coming home from the last pull and we didn't see it until I unloaded the tractors at the pull yesterday. He now has a new home in the woods at Crownsville. I'm even giving up on planning a tractor ride from here, because of the rainy summer we are most likely going to have.
BTW, The CA won the 2500 pound class pulling 255'11" in 3rd gear @ over 10MPH.
for the 3000 class It won with a similar distance pull in 2nd @ about 8MPH.
Our sled is so easy to set for various tractors that the 2 W30s made a 340+' pull (the sled was set lighter than for us in the 2500 pound class). We hate to hit the Historic tractors hard, even the F12s are able to pull about 150' the way we set the sled for them. NO 5' pulls at our tractor pulls, even if it gets muddy. Everyone deserves to have fun and it is much more sportsman-like than not even giving everyone a chance of getting the sled to start moving. Our clubs goal is for everyone to have a good time. We don't want anyone, regardless of what color their tractor is, to feel unwelcome.
