Scott,I first remember seeing Wayne Longnecker at the NTPA
Western Nationals in Bethany,MO in 1970.He was pulling a F-30
Farmall with a 427 Chev that had 2-4's on a tunnel ram.The
Allison came a couple of years after that.He must have been a
teenager back then.Hes sure one of the long time Iowa pullers.

The first blower motor tractor ever was Claude Woodworth from
Ursa,ILL in about 1970.It was a F-30 Farmall with a blown 427
Chevy with 2-4's up top.I remember him pulling the 7000 Mod
class at Bethany,MO in 1971.Someone talked him in to pulling
the 12,000 Unlimited class and he did it giving the Allison Team
a run for the money.He had a bunch of 100 lb IH weights
hanging on the F-30 which only had 23.1x30 tires..I think he
toasted the automatic tranny.I have a picture of him doing it.

Lanny Kay out of Wheatland,Iowa had an F-30 with twin carbed
427 Chevs and Gerald Dorscher had a F-30 with twin blown
Hemis.

I can remember Bob Chickering running a blown Ford 427
Cammer in the Inch Pincher.The Iowa boys used to come down
to Bethany,MO all the time so got to see most of them.
