Best pullers in Louisville history?

There are a number of divisions and the lineup of classes has changed through the years, so several pullers could be mentioned.
I will start with my nominee as one of the best at NFMS: John Lancaster. I'm not sure if he has the most wins, but he is surely up near the top. Also, keep in mind, unlike pullers since 1993 who could get 2 wins per year (if they won a prelim and a finals hook), during the period when Lancaster hooked, it was one and done. John Lancaster. Per Pulling Reference, his Louisville resume is 1989 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 12,200 SS 1988 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 12,200 SS 1987 2nd place NFMS- Lousville, KY 12,200 SS 1986 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 12,200 SS 1983 3rd place NFMS- Lousville, KY 14,000 SS 1982 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 14,000 SS 1981 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 14,000 SS 1977 NFMS winner- Lousville, KY 15,000 SS 1976 2nd place NFMS- Lousville, KY 15,000 SS 1971 2nd place NFMS- Lousville, KY 5000 S |

I have to give Don Masterson a lot of credit Mr.Right side of the track on the white line in the finals for the win and I’m not a Deere fan but I had to cheer him on |

Here's your list
Bill hasn't touched the sand in Louisville in 6-7 years and still at the top. There are some within reasonable striking distance but it's hard to say if his record in PS and Mod will be beat. Bryan Lively -

If we don’t count doubles, Bill Leischner can jump to the front of the pack with a win this year. John Murray Two-time Pedal Pull World Champion Let's Go Pulling, covering the sport of pulling in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. Watch LGP on YouTube Like LGP on Facebook

Lancaster LV stats are AC 180 & AC 210. D21 was in the early 2000's, in conjuction with Al Koch, as they each returned to pulling as a team, after a 12 year pulling hiatus.
Thanks Bryan for digging out that great winning compeitor list. |

To me, the logical one would be Banter Bros. So I went to pulling-reference.com to see if I was thinking correctly. As I scrolled the credits quickly, Banter has 10 wins listed, with more stats from LV listed as 2nd to 4th.
Dan Mayer has done a fabulous job discovering and posting all these great pulling historical facts. Thanks Dan! |

The Esdon Lehn “The King of Smoke”, The Blackbourns, and the Schmuckers in the PS class have been pretty good at the farm show too. |

Blackbourns and Schmuckers added even more on to the list of wins and top finishes at the NFMS. |
