Marshall is a favorite for the family. We went down Saturday for their pull, another great pull. Started a bit late but heard they put a lot of stock farm tractors through in afternoon and took a bit longer. Weighed up to 6500# for their Big Block class. Was one of the first pullers in class, pulled a 272'. Felt good, seemed to go well, track was a bit hard and slipperey but not bad. Part of truck pulling is prepairing for each type of track. There were a lot of really good trucks there that I don't think had their best hooks. Ended up winning the class by a few feet. I know there were a few who were breaking in their engines from a winter freshen up or a new engine, So really doesn't mean a whole lot. We had a good hook nonetheless. There was also a 7500# open class that had 7 or 8 trucks entered, however, only 3 of us pulled. Had a couple diesels in that class with us and we had to beat them as well. Have I mentioned recently that I really enjoy beating the diesels? :-) I was disappointed that Tim Tromp, Eric Merchant, or Jerrod Glover did not enter into that class. Oh well, maybe next time?!?!

Notice in the 7500" class we were very heavy on the front, I was a bit concerned with the "60" in the front not holding it, it did fine!
