over 60 entrees, some classes had no entrees but the classes that did were great, and the novice classes were packed.

thanks again to all who was apart, we hope to do it again next year and will post and soon as it is locked down!!!

[Willie Reagan]

David, We had a great time at the tourney. You did a great job running the event. You have some real good novice pullers down there. I was glad to see everyone. You pulled great, David, I would like to see you at nationals next year to really test yourself. I was really glad to see Lee Culpepper there. He beat me and sent me to the loser bracket, and I was very fortunate to beat him twice in the finals to win my class. Mike West is a beast on the table!! Mark Taggart pulled like a freight train! Thanks again for taking good care of us, and we will be glad to come back next year.

[David Owens]

Willie thanks for the kind words, I am glad to meet you again and thanks to both you and Mike for helping to make it happen,

I will for sure be at Unifieds next year in Alabama, I would like to have gone this year but Billings is a good jog for me.

I do have alot of great novice pullers and hopefully by next year we will have even more...my goal is at least double, not to metion several graduating to open class.

Are you planning on going to KY Muscle this year?
