The day started with loading the tractors on to the truck.

Thanks to LongShot Hauling for hauling the tractors for us for this pull.

We had to make a pit stop along the way.  "We could have been there by now!"

The 1/4 Scale pulling in Mustang Fever.  That thing sure is handy.

Go baby go!

Boy that 1/4 Scale sure is a work horse.

The Cal Poly Pullers.

Boy, if you think about it, Cal Poly accounts for almost half of the modified pullers here.

Alyson getting the feel for the wheel.

Bryon sabotaging, I mean fixing up the sled.

The big bad sled ready to take down the mighty puller.  According to Gary, "The sled always wins."

Gary and Bryon putting the finishing touches on the sled.

Hey Gary, how can you pull a tractor and a sled at the same time?

White Lightning ready to go.

And here again.

My photography skills at their best.  This is supposed to be White Lightning Pulling.

Alyson backing up to the sled.

Alyson hitting the track.  Hammer down!

The end of Alyson's pass.  Not bad for a rookie.

Godfather Reloaded backing up to the sled.

One of the best pulls of the night because.....

....it blew up at the end of the track.

Gary suited up and getting into Poly Thunder.

Pulling onto the track.

Hooking up to the sled.

Thundering down the track.

Hey Gary, did the sled win on this one too?

Bail Out pulling so fast that the camera can't keep up.

Alkali charging down the track.

Gary head back down the track, again.

Pulling faster than light.

Out of Control at the end of its pass.  Notice the cherry red exhaust manifolds.

Poly Thunder's second pass.

Gary getting off the Thunder to get back on the sled.

Varmit starting its pass.

Look at all that smoke!

We did a little "concrete work" when parking the tractors at the motel.

The sheriff didn't like our "work".  (The picture is blurry to protect the identity of the accused.)

 

Note: No one really got arrested, the cop just happened to pull someone over in front of the motel and we took a picture of opportunity.  The sheriff actually thought it was kind of funny.
