Competition Rob Thomas's Pulling Career...

[Sled Puller]

... . summed up by the Jesup, Ga announcer:





"Cummins Dodge, he's going for 300, come on, ya gotta go,go,go(bounce),goin,(bounce),goin,(bounce),goin,(bounce),goin,(bounce),goin,(bounce)... . oop... ooooohhhhh ... he could not do it... but he smoked up the world!"







Just got a new tape from the other side of the track, really clear, except for mine, I had to pull after Dave, and it was bit hazy.



If you would not have bounced the whole way down the track Rob, you would have got me. Better take those traction bars off. :{

Ouch...



Gotta love a gracious winner.

Shoot, I was 4th that night! Well, Dave pulled exhibition,(he let off at 250, and coasted to about325) so I guess I was third.

I didn't even beat anyone worth beating. :{ :{



We sure had a good time though!

#@$%! #@$%!



I really need a copy of that tape, I don't remember the bounces, however I'm sure is was causa my tires (lack of sidewall stiffness) not the traction bars. Of course maybe my lack of experience had a hand in it, and I got lucky to get that far.



LMAO@pulling career, I have 2 (legit) pulls under my belt, yea, it's been a long, rocky road, to get where I'm at. :-laf



Gene, put the remote down, and go install those windows, or fix the Jeep, damn you must go through VCR's like we go through lift-pumps.



Later, Rob

I just got the windows in Rob!!! And mashed my thumb,2 cuts and a splinter. You got a voodoo doll or something?



I did not think you bounced that much at all, but this is a different angle, and it is hard to believe you drove back to Michigan!

Voodoo doll... ... ... ... ... . hmmmmm, now there's an idea (put a needle in one of the charge-air boots when your at 220' or so, LOL).



Not only did I drive home, but drove home in style, and a minor vibration. This year will be fun, I hope I bring plenty of spare parts.

If not I'm sure I'll have some spare parts hangin around with me somewhere. Last year I had an appetite for destruction just like Gene, But I think Rob took the cake after what he did in Jesup... . (never seen that before). LOL!
