Muskegon 2

Sorry, no video. Got all the way to pull and realized we had left the camcorder at home.
Pull went great!! Track was really wet and tore up when we got there about 5:30, it had just rained about 3/10 of inch about an hour previous. Kim Wagner had pushed all the top mud off the track and cut down into the more solid under pan. He packed it down just before pull. They ran the heavier farm tractor classes first then some other tractor classes. We (spark pluggers) were last. Track was good and "biting" by then, great job Kim, Thanks!! We were the first hook so we got to turn it down, gives us another hook. :-) Went about 315' on first hook, Ed Aten (the Silver Dodge team) was the only other truck in the class that night, hooked second and he did great 306' or so. Our second hook was a little better than our first one. We had some bounce starting on first hook right at the beginning, so on second hook we eeeezed into it a bit slower and avoided some bounce. Took it to 317' that time. One of the few times we did better on second hook after turning down the first one. Bruce Hyma thinks the Pilot, Jeff, has something wrong with his head by turning down that first hook. It was a good hook and I (Lil Whitey) thinks he has something wrong with his head too, it's just these other guys are finally figuring it out!!! :-)

Thought of the day:
"If it is the end we are looking forward too only, we will miss the joy of the journey" lw
