Just seen this Yesterday...

[Erick "Zap" Szczap]

Me too. This wouldn't have been a bad tourney for me to go to, but I didn't know about it until now, so it's too late.

[Jason Waldron]

Hopefully there will be a supermatch on sat.

[Christina Casto]

We had a good turnout. Just wanted to thank our refs for the day Jon Martin Sr., Doug Casto Jr. Want to thank A2Z Printing for donating a bikers week shirt to the womens winner. Thanks to everyone for traveling to come see us and compete. Keep in mind that I have two more coming up Aug. 4, and Aug. 11. Give me a call for info. 304-422-3181

I would also like to welcome Neil robinson back t the sport. This was Neil's first time pulling since he broke his arm at nationals last year. He competed in two classes. Great Job.

[Willie Reagan]

Nice to see Jerome Moore on the winners list! Did Gene Persinger have anything for Jerome, or did they have a good match? Congrats Andrew, I new it wouldn't be close!

[Christina Casto]

Gene pulled great. He was really surprised by Jeromes hit. He didn't know who Jerome was until after the tournament.

Andrew made us proud. It is just a shame that He didn't win any money for his effort.
