Lurker,
The Sullivans are tough for sure and have a very good chance of taking the KOH.I think there is some misconception as to the amount of access time we (the Miss. JD pullers) get to the track prior to the pull. We (The Mean Green Pulling Team) are not allowed in the building until Thursday. The sleds usually come in late on that day to unload and set up scales, etc. The track is in no condition on Thursday to do any "play pulling" or practice. Generally, the track is broken up late Thursday, watered down and left to stand overnight. Final packing and finishing is done Friday morning and usually isn't finished until just before pulling begins. So please don't feel that we have some advantage by getting a lot of extra pulling time on the track. We don't do so hot simply because there are many super good pullers (like the Sullivans) that we are competing against. Plus we, as a team, are really more interested in "making for a good show" than "being the show". Just as an update. Fitzgeralds has already booked 731 rooms for the nights of Thur. Fri.& Sat. That's about 120 more than last year. From all indicators, this year will be best pull we've had so far. We're looking forward to seeing everyone and having some good competitive pull. We appreciate everyone's support and participation. Spotter, aka Wayne Perry
