Evart




OK, sorry about the wait. We went up to Evart last Wednesday. We were expecting a mediocre track at best. The track was actually really good, other than a few stones. The sled had a bit to be desired. We hooked in a #6500 and #7500 class. Sled started hard, they had a lot of weight in the pan, but once we got it going it went alright. We full pulled the first hook, then full pulled in the pull off. Ed Aten and Harold LaFond also full pulled. They were both right there in the pull off but didn't quite get it out the end. #7500 class we full pulled on first hook, boy that thing started hard. Ed broke the CV joint coming out of front of transfer case so Harold was only other one who full pulled. We had asked the sled driver if the #8000 diesels could pull before our pull off so we could cool down a bit. So they added MORE weight to the pan and hooked the first #8000 diesel, Marty N, he full pulled. The second and third Diesels couldn't even get the sled to move. So Harold and Lil Whitey did our pull off. We full pulled and Harold couldn't get his clutch to engage. That was pretty fun pulling the sled to a full pull while some heavier diesels couldn't get it rolling. All in all was a really fun night. Marty mopped up again in the diesel classes. Ed and Harold did great, except that sled hated clutches. Great pull guys, Thanks!!!!!
Thougth for the day: Are we dreaming of living, or living a dream? Perspective is everything. lw
