Kurt V.B	i almost forgot, looking like we are going to run 2 skids , so everyone that comes will get plenty of chances to hook, open farm tractors will probably hook 3 times for sure, skids will be Van Beek Sled Rentals (Big Mike) and the other skid will be Red Rock Sled(Gary Sabotka) Reply Quote

THe best way to get there is to come in from the east. There is a "Ice cream shop" on the North side of the road. Take the road going North west from the corner and you will end up on the North side of the pulling grounds. The ice cream shop has excellent ice cream and the boys and I would highly recomend it. You can park at the side of the Powder coat shop and walk back. BUT save room. They have REAL good food on the grounds. We dont have a favorite but the pork is real tasty. This is one place you dont really need to grill at

Twila

I want to thank everyone for coming up to the benefit pull last night. It was a great night and the rain held off until the end of the night. Thanks to all the pullers for coming out. We had a good turnout with new pullers. Thanks for all those pullers that came a great distance. We hope you enjoyed the pull and come back again. Thanks to Big Mike(The Predator) and Gary Sabotka(Red Rock) for coming with their skids they both did a great job. The money raised goes to a great cause. Thanks again.

These are the measurements we got so they are very unofficial because yeah it was in between us running around trying to get our tractor ready, if anybody wants to make corrections or add any thoughts or info go ahead. A couple thoughts before I quit taking up to much space and time, Wowie Wowie Wow, what a show!!!!! There were tractors for days in all three divisions of Farm Stock, Open Farm, and Super Farm. There even were two all the way from Missouri, a good number from Nebraska and somebody let a few tractors from the Odebolt area sneak in( just kidding guys hope to see you in Rock Rapids July 13). Both the Predator Sled of Mike Van Beek and the Red Rock Sled of Gary Sabotka did an excellent job. We could have done without the wind but oh well it was still a memorable night. It cost only 5$ for admission last night and for the amount of hooks and variety of tractors they had if you didn't get your money's worth well that was your problem. Anyways it was an awesome start to the 2009 tractor pulling season, thanks to the entire Van Beek family for everything they do to pull this event off, good luck to all the pullers the rest of the way this year, and we hope to see everybody and more back for the 2010 edition of the Sweet on Life, Relay for Life Team's Cancer Fundraiser tractor pull.

All In and Shagnasty June 08, 2009 02:48AM

Smoke and Overdrive

Shagnasty the 1456 in the 8,500 Open Farm is Rich Johnson out of Tingley, Iowa. Pulls with IAMO Pullers and back to back Hot Farm Champion and back to back Missouri State Fair Champion. Excellent looking tractor and a great competitor. All in is a 1066 owned by Mike Eckels. Pulls with IAMO too. Great new look for the tractor for 2009 and Mike and Todd are great competitors and love the sport. Both tractors won their respective classes at Albany, MO on Saturday night. Great runs and kudos to both. Look forward to seeing you guys at King City!

New puller	What are the rules "All In" is set up for? I see the IAMO limited pro class is 466 CI or smaller with a 3X4 smooth bore turbo or 467 to 550 CI with a 3X3 turbo with a map ring. I looks like it runs pretty good.....at least it beat a pretty decent bunch of larger CI super farms. Does IAMO ever do a turbo and CI check? Reply Quote

	Re: All In and Shagnasty June 08, 2009 06:23AM
Smoke and Overdrive	All In is set up for 466 3x4. A turbo check is performed at the beginning of the points season. Cubic inch is by prostest. They do run good and Thomas's at last report were doing the tuning. I will stand by them that thier cubes are right. Reply Quote

	Re: All In and Shagnasty June 08, 2009 07:43AM
Wondering	So can they get a TA to hold up running in that 3000 rpm 2.75 turbo class? If so what TA are they using? I see that there is a A pump and a P pump class with the same 2.75 charger rule. Is there a lot of power difference between the two classes? Thanks for the info. Reply Quote

Re: All In and Shagnasty June 08, 2009 07:50AM

Smoke and Overdrive

The T/A's seem to be holding in both the "A" and the "P" pump classes. You would have to ask them which builder is being used. As far as the power difference in the "A" to "P" classes, they have not been run head to head in 2009. '09 is the first year for the 9,500lbs. Pro Field. The 9,000lbs Hot Farm has remained unchanged and has through the end of the 2010 season with a rules lock in.

3688puller Registered: 07/20/2008 Posts: 727	No they weren't. My only guess would be that it was not sanctioned by any orgainization. If they decide to do it it would be up to the Van Beek's Reply Quote
