They have a tendancy to let them go into the sand pile at L'ville too.What are these pull operators thinking?Good show??What a bunch of idiots for setting the sled loose.They will wait until people get hurt and they get their a$$es sued off before they change their ways.

I do agree that it is dangerous to let the Vehicles hit the sand hard, but actually at the pull in Corbin, they were good about stopping them inches from the pile or just touching it. There were only 3 or 4 really hard hits into the sand the whole weekend, and most of those were test hooks. But the thing about the incedent with Eddie Carey was that all of the other trucks in the class were stopping well behind the sand pile. That is why he ended up taking last place money and giving first up to Jason Gibson who would have been second, even though Brian Neal insisted that he just had a good hook and that the sled did not malfunction.

Has anyone talked to kevin or tom to see if they will go back to corbin or not .I have heard that it cost anywhere from $40'000all the way up to $140'000 just to lease the building . If that is so i don't think they'll go back next year. Will insurance pay for the damage to the building?

Judging by the crowd that they had, I think it's safe to say there won't be pull there again.

I heard that the owner of the building was not all that upset with the damages and said insurance would replace it. As far as having another pull there, i'm not sure. I definatly don't think it is out of the question, It was a great facility and the sho ran very well. The only problem was the thin crowd, which personally, I think it was timing. Many pullers and fans still had crops in the field and on top of that, it was the opening weekend of Gun Season! LOL. I would like to see another pull there, I attended and photographed all sessions and was not dissapointed with any of them and thought that the facilty and staff were very hospitable.

I did not like the fact that they were only allowing 1 person in the arena with the trucks and tractors. Any place else that has indoor pulls either allow people in the pits or sell pit passes.

There was no pits to get passes to just enough room for a driver and one person to help. I had a great time for my first indoor pull.

There insurance regulations wouldn't allow a bunch of people in the driver/pit area....sorry you were upset at that ,it was hard enough to put the pull on let alone keeping people out and still wasn't policed enough.

Was told he wanted to have another pull there soon but everyone has told him the date won't work. I was told it is booked to be back there next year in december. Don't guess he lost to much money like everyone thinks. I guess he managed to find some spare money lying around to cover his loss.
