Jim,
I'll either be pulling 189 or 209 L & R, I'm going to be pulling 198 at the Grand Victoria the weekend prior and I don't know which direction I'll go with my weight.
Engin, I met you for the first time in person at the Ohio State, you and Matt Stout went at it left handed. I think it was left handed or maybe the right hand over-all???
It wasn't last year was it? I was thinking it was a couple of years ago.
Engin is right it always brings great competition!
Sam is quite the gentleman and his wife Betty does a great job keeping things on track.
I hope to see everyone there!
Rick

Joe is a master top roller, he's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He is one of the reasons I don't miss the tournament, to see how he is and to try to learn from him. Ohio has a lot of great pullers, some years I place higher at the Nationals than at the Ohio State due to the high quality this tournament brings. I'm getting excited just thinking about it! Guy, Where do you live, I'm going to come up there and pull on that heavy weight arm of yours!  Take care, Rick |

Jim,
with all due respect intended he needs another shot at me. He only beat me lefty and I really dont compete seriously lefty it is only to get he stage fright out out. Righty I beat him pretty convincingly. But I do wish I could go and I would be happy to give him another shot but have been sick lately ...which sucks !! Good Destiny to all going look forward to hearing the results
