Two Podium Finishes for the Fully Loaded Team in Hillsboro, WI…Back in the Points Lead!

Hillsboro Wisconsin went very well for the Fully Loaded Team. We ended up finishing third place for both the Friday and Saturday sessions! The weather was pretty wet for most of the time in Hillsboro and in fact the later part of the Friday session was cancelled due to rain. But Don Slama and his awesome track crew lead by James Slama managed to get everyone who didn’t run Friday, into the the two sessions on Saturday afternoon and evening, and made really good tracks for us to compete on!

If you haven’t had a chance to experience the Hillsboro Charity Pull in Hillsboro, Wisconsin I would encourage you to do so. It has turned out to be an awesome facility and has a ton of room in the pits for spectator viewing and public TV/Camping sites available! The town of Hillsboro and the Slama Family have built an awesome venue that is jam packed with pulling vehicles, displays from various pulling related vendors, T-shirt/souvenir trailers, and tons of pulling action!

New for this year at the Hillsboro Charity Pull, were custom event belt buckles that could be won! In order to win one of these awesome buckles, the combined distance of the two sessions that each puller makes, would be added together. The puller who has the greatest overall distance for both sessions will be the recipient of the awesome buckle! Check it out below!

We were close to winning the buckle, however Jeff Hirt in Fast Lane won the buckle for this year. Congratulations Jeff!

Also while we at the Hillsboro Charity Pull, Hillsboro Equipment donated a John Deere X330 lawn mower! Each puller’s name was put into a bucket and one name was drawn to win this awesome lawn mower.

Our team was drawn as the winner! Special thanks to Hillsboro Equipment for donating this mower! Thank you!

Our team left Hillsboro, Wisconsin with a 12pt lead over Taking Care of Business driven by Aaron Hull. Not a very big lead with four pulls left to go to wrap up the ’16 PPL season! Can we hold on to the lead and win the Lucas Oil Champions Tour National Points Title? Stay tuned to see!

Tough time in Evansville, Indiana. The Fully Loaded drops to 2nd place in the National Points after a six place finish.

After driving five and a half half hours, riding on cloud nine from our win at Goshen Indiana, the FLPT pulls into a very wet/rain soaked fairgrounds in Evansville, Indiana at the Vanderburgh County Fairgrounds. And then, to make it worse, another heavy rain storm rolled through around 3pm pull day. Heavy rains flooded the gravel pit area and it was almost a for sure thing that we would not be able to pull. 

The rain stopped and drivers meeting was held. The track had been sealed up prior to the rain storm and the decision to continue on with the pull was made! 

The Fully Loaded was third hook and then became the second official hook in the class, as the class was restarted because of a change in the sled. As we took advantage, as best we could, to see how the two tractors before us did based on their track location, we decide to set the sled on the middle to middle right side of the track. We were aware of a couple of “loose” spots in the center of the track around the 150-225 foot mark, but we thought we were far enough to the right to avoid them.  It turns out…. that we were not. We wound the tractor up and the engine was sounding great just like he night before and we began our pass down the track only to be sucked hard to the left and had to use the right brake in order to keep the tractor as straight as possible and to stay in bounds. By doing this, it took quite a few feet off of our distance, leaving us with a six place finish.

We went into Evansville Indiana with a two point lead over “Taking Care of Business” driven by Aaron Hull. Aaron ended up in first place in Evansville, Indiana which now leaves the Fully Loaded Team second place in the National Points, trailing first place by six. 

The team travels to Hillsboro, Wisconsin for their next event, the Hillsboro Charity Pull August 12-13th, hopefully to take bake the lead in the National Points Race!
