PPL Results...Free Port - Sat. Nite


Thanks to Rocky for the Results!

10K Pro Stock Tractors
Sled: Old Ironsides
Finish, (Pull Order), Vehicle, Driver, City, State, Brand, Distance
1, (3), River Rat, Kevin Masterson, Grandview, IN, JD, 337.90
2, (1), Tinker Toy, Don Masterson, Grandview, IN, JD, 297.43
3, (2), Lucas Oil Green Streak, Steve Boyd, Washington, IN, JD, 288.46

Turns out that the great pull distance of the River Rat was due, in part, to the fact that the chain which moves the weight box snapped near the end of the run. The chain flew back and smashed the windshield of the drivers cab. The incident also tore up the bearings in the chain drive mechanism rendering the sled inoperable. As this damage was irreparable and no spare sled was available, the pull was called off and the spectators were refunded their ticket cost.
