Define hard surface please. Is it blacktop? or just hard dirt? Can't see trucks successfully pulling on pavement. :/

This track at Froelich is cement. We will be puling away from the antique store heading toward the highway. Not sure how the trucks will plan out. That is the classes that they wanted to run.

Had a fun time with the Iowa boys on Saturday afternoon. Wasn't the biggest turnout but we made a pull out of it. Hope that everyone had fun pulling on the cement for the first time. Hope to see everyone for a pull this fall, Matt.
