2009 Antelope Valley Fair Truck and Tractor Sled Pull
Man what a night! This year's AV Fair event was an absolute blast. It was great to see so many old friends. It was a reunion as much as it was a pull. Take a look at some of the fun.
I've heard that someone said the AV Fair event was the smoothest SoCal pulling event ever. I won't go that far but I was relieved that we pulled it off without any big mishaps.
We were pleased to see some Fords at the event. There has not been much of a Ford presence at our SoCal pulls, and the fans just love to see Fords out there. Thanks to the Ford Crew for showing up, I hope to see more at future events.
The modified tractors brought some added excitement to the night's event. One briefly caught fire, and another tractor with a jet engine had the crowd roaring. Thanks to all the participants and their crews. Everyone was professional and certainly helped the event run smooth. The diesel Super Farm tractors were a great addition to the event as well with some really hard running tractors.
It was too bad that Tom Colesanti and his Big Power Diesel "All Nighter" had a clutch issue and could not pull. He just arrived home from Afghanistan a week before and we were all hoping he'd be able to run. We we worked through the nights to get the truck ready, but it just wasn't meant to be. The "All Nighter" will be ready for Hollister on October 3.
Here are some results from the A.V. Fair Pull. Thanks to all the pullers, we had a great turnout and pull. Thanks again also to the entire volunteer staff, this is the best group we could ask for to put on a pull. Thanks also to MLM for the sled and all the tractors for coming out. We look forward to seeing everyone at next years pull.
