Competition Western Pennsylvania Diesel Pull, July 25

[Sled Puller]

Friday, the 25th, 7:30 pm, Jefferson Township Fair, between Mercer and Sharon, Pa on rt 62. Turn at Flynns Tire, follow signs.





This is the first year for a Hot Diesel class with this club.



The gasssers can't stand it.



All they have seen before are heavy stockers pulling exhibition, and me breaking parts last year.



Be nice to put on a good show for them.



Could be the first good thumping of the year for Johnboy, by me. I will put him back into the Anderson Laboratories for another year.



Also, hoping to see Doug from ADT, there, he finished 5th in Muncie 8000 Open, and Shawn from R&S Performance, a 6th place finisher in the same class.



Any chance of the Michigan Dump truck making it?



How about that pesky Blue Dodge?



Southern Ohio or Indiana trucks?



Scranton, Pa, Ford?

Could you post the rules by chance? I want to make sure I'm a legal eagle when I take my thumpin.
