Oh ok that makes sense. Do you remember some of the guys that use to pull with that group when it was still around. I've been trying to figure out where a tractor went that pulled with them in the late 90s early 2000s. |

Good chance I can.
What color? anything else would help. |

Ok. Well it was an Oliver 88 diesel, and I'm pretty sure he ran it in the light limited super stock class. I always thought it was a cool tractor, mainly because you don't see people running an 88 on diesel there always ran on alcohol. I do remember seeing it before they made the roll cage rule, but nothing after that. |

Anyone happen to know what happened to the tractor, did it get parted out and sold, or did it get parked in the back of a shed and has been sitting for years like so many of them of there time did. |

Yeah, I'm sure he was alittle under powered in his class but it was sure neat to watch. |

Anyone happen to know how to get ahold of Dennis? I'd like to talk to him about the good old days of pulling and his tractor. |
