Mound City Missouri ’16

The Fully Loaded Team ended up with a dual third place finish for the two day mound City Missouri Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Event. This left the team having an 8 point lead over T.CO.B (310) who currently holds the second place position in the end of year points race followed closely by Lessons Learned (300), MMG 1000 (290), and Runin Bare (290) to finish out the top five.

The tractor didn’t run super well the first night, and after some checking the team found that the front drive hub that runs the fuel, oil, and msd system had come loose and broke free from its intended location! After correcting that issues and running the valves to ensure proper adjustment the team headed then to the track in an attempt to get another win under their belt! The second night the track was a good track but a very tricky one. The team decided to try a “cross track” approach which proved to work out somewhat, but just not quite good enough, landing the team with yet another third place finish! The work to get the tractor back together with the front drive shaft issue paid off, but we didn’t go quite far enough to take the win.
The next event for the team will be a two day pull in Freeport Illinois for the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Midwest Summer Nationals, Thursday July 7th and Friday July 8th.

’16 Wilmington OH Spring Nationals and ’16 Greenville OH Ohio State Benefit Pull

The team has participated in two great events over the past couple of weeks and has done well in the points race, trying to recover from the terrible last place finish of the start of the season in Saluda, SC.

First we start off in Wilmington OH June, 11th, 2016. The night before, the fairgrounds received a ton of rain which meant a lot of track preparation needed to take place for the Saturday night show. The fair board and track crew did their best, but the track was a tricky one. The starting line area did not have much to get hooked up on with our Firestone Puller 2000 tires and the driver did not get into the throttle quick enough. We ended up with a fifth place finish that evening. This left the team in fourth place in the end of season points race, trailing the three way tie for first place by two points!
The next weekend we traveled to Greenville OH, The Ohio State Benefit Pull for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The first night went extremely well for our team as we were the test hook and laid down a beautiful pass which allowed our team to take the win for the Friday night session! This shook up the end of season points standings and now Fully Loaded and Taking Care of Business were tied for first place!

Session two in Greenville Ohio went well as the Fully Loaded Team was able to acquire a third place finish after having the belt that runs the ignition system come off of the pulley and shut the motor down right at the end of the run. We missed first place for that session by approximately 3.5 feet! However after Saturday’s session in Greenville, OH we were able to move up to the number one position in the Lucas Oil Champions Tour end of seasons points race!
We are very excited and looking forward to seeing what this weekend event has in store…can we keep the first place position? Can we keep our string of good runs going? Stay tuned! It definitely will be a battle on the track between drivers and tractors as Taking Care of Business is 2 points behind and Out of Time is only 10 points behind! Check out below, the end of seasons points race for the entire MavTV Unlimited Alcohol Super Stock Class.

Good luck to all of the competitors for this weekend’s event at Rumble by the Refuge in Mound City, Missouri! Stay tuned for more exciting news and videos!
