For us the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League event in Hamburg is a family trip. It is one that we enjoy to take the kids up to enjoy the Erie County Fair. It is one of the nicest places we go and a place that we put at the top of our schedule. It wasn't what we hoped for pulling this past weekend. But it was still what we hoped for as a weekend away with our family.

We were planning to take just the Blue Knight with us, but after the problems with Knight Delivery we decided to take it along and see if we could figure out what was going on with the ignition system. We ended up not figuring that out will we got home. But used that time and runs to figure out what was not the problem. By process of elimination we were able to eliminate things from the list of potential problems. Sometimes that is key when dealing with grimlins. With 2 finishes near the back with the problems with Knight Delivery. But we hoped Blue Knight was going to respond to the plan we had and that didnt happen either.

The first night the Blue Knight just didnt come off the line with the traction that we needed leaving us short of where we need to be leaving us to finish in 22. The second night the Blue Knight with some changes hook up well but the motor just didnt respond the way we hoped leaving us again short to finish in 21st place. It was a weeked where if the only reason we went was for the pull we would have been disappointed. But instaed we had a great time with family and friends. Catching up with some of the teams that run with the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling league full time. We have some good notes and deffinatly are looking forward to some time off over the next week and a half to get some maintance done to the trucks so we can continue to push in the OSTPA points race.
