Anyone know this puller?
|
Does anyone know who this puller is? I took this picture in 1984 at Louisville. I don't remember what session of pulling it was.This is what I do remember,the tractor was a twin engine mod with big block chevys,each engine had twin turbos.I took this picture with a Kodak Disc camera.I was watching the tractor through the camera,going to get a shot of the exhaust manifolds turning cherry red.I had my finger on the button when the explosion happened.It startled me and I snapped the picture.I'm sorry if the picture is kind of grainy,the picture is 29 years old.I was just curious who it was and if they were still pulling.

Chuck Wheatley from Iowa ran turbo Chevys on a mod. |

I think it was Scott Murphy. I am guessing here but I think he was from Illinois. The tractor was originally built by Ed Cowman, the famous Ron Cowman's father. But I was a little kid back then. But I still remember the night that happened. |

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Chuck Wheatley or Scott Murphy?Thanks HP and PS Fan for the names.Are these men still pulling?It is hard to tell in this picture,but in the one I have it looks like I am the only person to get that shot at that second in Freedom Hall. |

I'm Scott Murphy. Just saw this post. Yes, it was me that blew up that night in 1984. It was in the 9200 pound modified class. |
