Guthry Center pull... TEE

MSD · Sep 6, 2022

Heard you was tearing up the track down there! Blowing smoke and churning up dust for a win is how the story was told.

Hi Mel--Who in the heII have you been talking to??? Guthrie Center is about 200 mi. from me so the pull was supposed to start at 9 AM so drove down by myself the afternoon before. Got there about 7 and watched the smokers and some of the pick-ups and crawled in my trailer--opened the windows and tried to sleep. Woke up and was freezing--crawled in the pick-up-started it--got warmed up and slept until first light. They had us on the other side of the fair grounds so drove over to the track and had a good time--weather was cloudy and cool.. Jim had a St. Jude class where all the entry fees were donated to St. Jude but Jim-with the St. Jude IH 460 and I plus I think 1 more guy were the only ones to sign up?????????? Figure that out??? But they had 3 jackpot classes 4750-5750-6750 that each paid $500--Won the 4750-got 2nd in the 5750 and third in the 5750---Had a good time but did not get home until 9 Sun. night and this old man was TIRED!!!!--Thats all---Tee

Did not see it but there was a drone over head--If you look close that is my truck and trailer on the right side of the pic next to the plowed field--pull was almost over....

Forgot--You are right Mel--there is nothing like the sound of a good running Deere 4630 with a CHROME straight pipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---Tee

That track was HARD to start the day and the sled heavy. Getting out of the hole in the lighter classes was a little tricky. It was a very good pull though with a lot of tractors and a lot of hooks. I did manage 3rd in both Div. II 4,000 lb and 5,000 lb classes.

Good part about the post, about track ,like the story . Whats the (that) track made from ? You have loam there ? Just wondering !

This track was new this year. They hauled in clay to build the track. They had been watering and packing it for a month prior to the pull.

it needed more water that day, too dry, dust is slippery, -I pounded a cup of dirt out of my air cleaner. many tractors couldn't get a grip, couldn't even see the V 8s with the huge cloud of dust, it did get better after several hours.
