Mid TN chapter and SLED PULL 9/27

[WadePatton]

We're meeting at my house and "tailgating" before the pull. The pull is 8 miles from my house. It's North of Manchester and South of Woodbury.



We'll be discussing the "official" formation of a Mid-TN TDR chapter and trying to get all the "I donewannapullers" to pull anyway.



We'll be an add-on class to the Ivey Bluff Truck and Tractor pull.

Most of the discussion is over at "Members Rigs Spotted" TN. And all my contact info too.



Plenty of room for tents and campers at my place. It is opening weekend of Archery season--I have plenty of woods to hunt on. Kill a deer, drag a sled --what a day.

I was wondering exactly where this pull is. What are the payouts going to be and what time we would be pulling. We were planning on going to a pull in Lawernceburg, TN. But mite be able to come over to yours instead. you can email me at -- email address removed -- with this information if you would like. thanks, Nick.

Pull is at 7077 Ivy Bluff Road, Cannon Co.



$20 hook, 5 trucks makes a class (we have three so far) Pays 150/100/50.



We have a couple of fueled up trucks and hope to pull some stockers in the "Street Diesel" category.

Cannon County has a strong pulling community, but no diesel trucks. This is a "first ever" event, so there's no telling what the crowd and track will be like. The guy who bought the land and is putting on the pull is the 2001 or 2002 5500 gasser points champion. The sled will be the "Predator" from Cookeville.



edit

From Jackson, just get on 24 toward Chattanooga and get off at exit 110-111 (something like that)-it's Highway 53 (Woodbury) and go North toward Woodbury. Look for signs after the County Line and TN hwy 280. It'll be to the RIGHT about 3 miles off 53. No more than 20 miles from I-24. My house is a little farther North, just off 53. Let us know.

sounds good. we'll see you on saturday then. i'm either going to have 2 or 3 trucks with me.

Jammindicular!



The more- the smokier!



They call the diesel pulling tractors (is there any other kind) "smokers". Maybe they'll start calling us the "smoker trucks"



I'm going to post more details over at Members Rigs--TN.



I think Mark is coming early to do an injector swap. I'll have parking/camping space and a grill. We'll head over early for a good spectating spot (no stands) and can hang out back here afterward --all night long.

i couldn't find that page that u were talking about. i need your phone number. if u would email me your phone number. in case we get lost. lol! i'm bringing 3 trucks. 2 dodge's and a duramax. it's pretty hot the duramax. we'll be leaving my house on saturday about 4:30. we should be there about 7-7:30. look forward to seeing you on saturday. U need to raise some hell with the fords and chevy's in your area and get them to pull. check the west tn pull and see if you'd be interested in coming down for that. there will probably be some camping area available for that one to.

for details and directions. Is your gasser included in the 3 trucks? I talked to Barry today, he said you had called.



He was talking about pulling us first, but if you ain't going to be here until after 7, then we better NOT be first. Pulling starts around 6pm Central.



I could probably scare up some fords, but haven't been trying because I didn't think we'd have enough trucks to split up the real stockers from the hot stockers.



A Dmax guy from 'Bama has contacted me, but I don't know if he's coming.

no bud, 3 diesels and 1 gas. i don't think that we could get there any earlier. it's going to be about 3 hours for us. i'd rather we pull all of the diesels in one class. what time do you think that we'll pull? maybe they let us pull in the middle. iwe have to come back that nite. everyone has an obligation or 2 on sunday. i'd like to be home b4 3 or 4 if u know what i mean. i'm going to check out that page.
