Montana Sled Pullers headed out!

[NIsaacs]

My inlaws are loaded up and headed to Burley, Idaho for the first pull of the short season (virus) messed it up.

IH tow truck and Load Trail 40' trailer. The '53 Chevy was a long time build but sure looks nice!

Dyno sheet is the blue GM, 565 cu in.

Tell your in-laws good luck! I know sled pulling is very expensive sport but great fun when the pullers do not break.

Great looking rigs! Where are your inlaws located? I was born and raised in Montana until I was 10.

Great looking rigs! Where are your inlaws located? I was born and raised in Montana until I was 10.

One in Livingston and one in Belgrade. I was born and raised in Powder River County (Sonnette) and went to high school in Broadus. My brother lives in Ashland, two sisters in Billings and one in Stanford. I moved here in '77. Where were you from?

I was born in Butte, we had a small ranch in Pipestone right at the bottom of the mountain pass close to the KOA. Also lived in Stevensville, Anaconda and Missoula.

My brother went to Valier, MT. same day as Burley but a lot closer for him. First pull on the new rebuilt engine, looks like he ran out of track. Haven't seen or heard anything on the Burley pulls yet.

Good pull! I need to watch for these more around here. I love going and watching. Did some antique tractor pulling with my dad when I was still in high school. Need more area to park my toys so I can get back into the fun.

The blue '70 GM won the class, Pro Stock 565 limit. I don't know how many were in the class but will know more when United Pullers posts the info. There were 84 hooks total. The '53 had engine trouble. My BIL from here, pulled in the Super Stock class and won second, again I don't know how many.
