Attention all new guys and Amateur Pullers!!

[Jeff Janes]

Looking to challenge yourself?!? Do you want to pull in a deep class of similarly skilled pullers?!?

April 26th were having a tournament in Clarksville, TN in place of our Appleton's Harley Pull we had last year. We had a torrential downpour and no bikers showed up to the open house but still had almost 200 entries with most of the entries coming from the novice class. (111 total entries) Were expecting similar or even greater turnout/results this year at the Rivers and Spires Festival in downtown Clarksville, TN. Each 1st place puller in the novice class will receive a free copy the book "Strong Arm Tactics" and I will have 6 others books up for grabs as prizes for first place winners.

Here are the results that we had last year in the novice class. Many of the guys who placed 1st-3rd are now open only pullers if that tells you the level of competition we will have in the amateur classes.
