We made it through another year! I want to thank everyone for all of their efforts for making this club what it is. I think our meeting went well. Congratulations to all of the points champions for 2011. I want to thank Alton Degner for all of his efforts and thank you for serving on the board of directors. Also, I want to welcome Ken Langham Jr. as our newly elected board member to take over Altons position. If you follow us on Facebook at all you will see that Ken is already getting "broke in" as the sled is up at the Langham stable getting the new rear end put in it. We have already had one work day back on 12/10. We had a few issues with our parts we located but Ken quickly located what we needed and is in the process of re-assembling. We are in the process of putting the 2012 schedule together so keep an eye on the website. Also, start watching our projects page. I am hoping to start getting some pictures to update what people are doing this winter. Several of us are going up to the Columbus Winter Nationals January 5-8th. We are driving up and if anyone is interested in following we would love to have more company. This is the biggest garden tractor pull in the nation! There are 2 tracks, indoors, heated, stadium seating, food, over 500 tractors, and around 15 parts vendors there. Contact me if you are interested. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Steve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rockdale & End of Year Meeting Congratulations LSGTPA! That was the best I have seen come out of our club pulling together to put on a show for the people. For those that missed Rockdale, our sled malfunctioned such that it would not drive itself nor would the box operate correctly. The club pulled together, rolled up their sleeves and we put on a show! Thanks to Langhams, Degners, Pierces, and the Aggie Pulling Team for providing us a pull back tractor. As for the operation of the sled, we managed to run the weight box via the hydraulics. We did not count the pull as we could not consistently move the sled the same rate for every tractor. With all of this, I think we had a record crowd watching to the end! Thank you everyone for helping out and staying through the end even though we did not get points! Everyone, thanks for a great year. We had some close points races in the end, we made it through one of the hottest summers on record, we have several new potential pull sites for next year, our membership is up, and financially we are in great shape! Great job everyone! Our year end meeting will be at the same place as last year, Soulman's BBQ 691 East Interstate 30 Rockwall. The date is November 12th and we will start our meeting at 9am sharp. Remember, this is our "Bi-year" no rules voted on this year. Lets have a great time, discuss a little bit of business, hand out some trophies, and eat some BBQ! Lets get as many there as we can so we can get a great club picture. Steve
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farmersville Now that was pulling weather!!! Farmersville didn't let us down as usual. There were several hundred spectators to watch the event. There was some great pulling action. James Moody powered through the "wash boards" and had two spectacular full pulls! Sarah Moody pulled off an awesome win against the usual fierce competition. Colby snapped an axle on his 4 cylinder. 9' separated 1st through 4th place in "Big Stock" with Ken Langham pulling off the win by just a total of 1.36'! There was only a tenth of a foot total between Kolby Langham and I in "Stock" class! There are still a couple of ties going in to the final pull. Thanks James and Delta for getting the pull together! Some of us are going down to Rockdale on Friday and camping. Should be a great end of the year! Remember, we need everyone there as we will be voting on a date and location of the meeting. See you in Rockdale! Steve
