can you run pressed wheels in the antique class? and can you run a 16.9x38 in the heavier antique classes?

You can run press steel in antique. No you can't run 16.9-38 tires in the heavy antique classes. I've had lots of calls, hope to see everyone Saturday. Feel free to call. Thanks, Keith

Not at this time. We have tried this class in the past in Viola and haven't had good numbers with some complaining about what the rules should be. Some want 3000rpms, some want open rpms, some want turbos and some don't. If you can get 3 committed tractors we can possibly add them. The rules must pass our safety officials. Thanks, Keith

not for sure if I can even make it, I was thinking the class at muscoda seemed alright, I'd throw clydes 18.4s back on again and drop it in low. I don't see rpm's being an issue as long as their is still a pace. our 5000rpm 460 doesn't go near blacktop pulls anyways

Muscoda did have a nice turn out in these classes with a 3000rpm limit. If we can get 3 committed tractors give me a call @ (309)826-4896, its not to late. Max and Devin may be interested. Thanks, Keith

Just a reminder, pull starts at 9am tomorrow morning. Reason for the early start is Ontario has a blacktop pull 14 miles down the road in the afternoon. Many of the pullers have shown interest to pull at both so we are trying to accomodate them. Thanks, Keith

Bob, we had an awesome turn out. Don't recall the exact number but it was well over 100 hooks, not bad since the last pull in this town was in 1979. The locals were very satisfied and helpful, already looking forward to next year! Never heard a grip all day, nothing but compliments. Thanks, Keith
