(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Five classes were to be contested on this rather hot and humid evening, but we only stayed for 4.\u00a0Sorry diesel trucks.\u00a0 Maybe next time.\u00a0 We\u2019d been looking forward to this because we hadn\u2019t yet made it to a pull in 2019.<\/p>\n

This gallery contains no action so many of the rigs present before the event started were captured sitting pretty.\u00a0 Many of the Limited Light Super Stock tractors and the diesel trucks arrived after pulling started so I didn\u2019t get around to them.\u00a0 A couple of the pictured rigs I hadn\u2019t seen in person before (or at least I couldn\u2019t remember them).<\/p>\n

Justin Dews\u2019 \u2018Why Not\u2019 Van, from right here in Georgetown, soars off the top of the cool scale.\u00a0 This rig has seen a couple configurations in its life, but I have previously only seen photos of them.\u00a0 Though it didn\u2019t have a great hook this night it is a competitive ride and certainly a hit with the fans.\u00a0 With that seating position he\u2019s seems very capable of keeping track of the boundary lines and the leader marks.\u00a0 Definitely up close and personal with that blown big-block Chevy too.<\/p>\n

The other is Dean Lickliter\u2019s \u2018Wicked Ways\u2019 Ford out of Lawrenceburg, KY.\u00a0 When we walked up on it he was polishing that bed and weight box which much be a constant battle to keep pretty.\u00a0 It\u2019s running a blown BBC as nearly all the Super Modified four-wheel-drive class does.\u00a0 When this truck pulled out on the track the reflection off the bed was blinding and that was on the shadow side.\u00a0 It is a looker and runs hard finishing 5th<\/sup>on this evening.<\/p>\n

There were a few vehicles I didn\u2019t get a photos of before the action started because there was no way to get a good image.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather not take a photograph than take one I know isn\u2019t going to be decent before pressing the shutter button.<\/p>\n

Next up are the action shots so remember to check back in for those.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
