The Martin Brothers I'm too young to throw out names of guys from before that era. But based on videos I've watched your list looks pretty darn strong. |

So did Randy Petro not qualify for some reason in twd trucks. He is without question top 10 if he does. |

I didn't add him because of the time period. I am trying to stay "old school", which is in my terms the 80s and 90s, more so the early 90s. If he ran TWD then, I didn't know. I only know that he ran mod at this time. |

Then that would make sense. Has anyone ever done top 10 pulling teams of all time regardless of class |

The next class I will be doing is the minis, particularly the 1,850lb class from the early 90s.
Like I said in every other post on this thread, this is only to the best of my knowledge from YouTube, to my father, to magazines, to old results, to Facebook, to friends, to etc. Here goes: 1. Dennis Horst - Red Fox 2. Glynn Guenther - Tuff-E-Nuff 3. Dave Campbell - Sky King/Pepsi Generation 4. Roger Wysong - Sting 5. Russell Korph (not sure on the spelling of the last name) - the Gambler 6. Richard Peters - Buckeye Special 7. Larry Koester - Footloose 8. Ken Stouffer - Ruff-N-Ready 9. Robert Lenzini - Mack Attack 10. John Fairbanks - Rat Poison Honorable Mentions: Terry Kirshner - Instigator (I think?)

If I am missing anybody, please update me! |

Missing the original Squealer and the "Lily White" JD of the Conners that ran multiple SS weights...The Triple Massey mentioned I think began life as a 203 MH that the Conners ran. Probably most impressive tractor I ever saw run in person was the Long 686...The Korth/Mason 766 by far the most dominant, day in. day out, I witnessed as a kid. Bryan Lively -

It was a maroon IH fleetside called the "Outlaw". I think Don Riemers(sp?) from Rockwell built it originally. |

I would also add Glen Davis with Mr. Sparkle, The chevy truck which I think was called showdown or something - which I know became the family affair. Also need Jaske, Simon, and the truck called the tennessean. |

Other than switching in Banter Brothers for Heavy mod.......I agree with your picks. I put Banter ahead of Mission Impossible because the amount of time the Banters were at the top. |

Tom Lindsey - Built for Business 7. Norman Larson - Ground Wolf 8. John A. Mann - Lady Butterfly 9. John Bojec - Blue Ox (I think this was his truck) 10. Don Snyder - Mr. Nasty Honorable Mentions: Greg Hibbitts - Pro Hibbitted II Ries/Mann - Longhorn JR Flock - Wildfire Dana Lindsey - Red Hot n Rollin' Galen Hoover - Tornado Mark Friedline - (Don't know the name of the truck) If I have forgotten anybody please update the list and add them!
