Brittany is always working. It's a tough job but someone has to do it. :D

That brings back some old memories. Just about every Thursday night on race weeks Big Jim, Dianne and I would go out for BBQ or steak.:)

Good interview with Sammy and an awesome looking car.

Edit to my above post, I meant to type 392 Hemi not 396. :D

Tim and the Banter Bros were definitely the master minds behind most of the innovations in tractor pulling back in those days and were definitely the ones that won more championships than anyone else. Tractor pulling started out pretty cheap to compete with just an old, carbureted gas engine...

Here was another video I found of T-Mez getting the results from a pull on the dyno in a different car. It also shows a modified tractor Engler was building. You might have to start the video over.

I hadn't seen that video above before I did that post. I didn't realize that was actually Tims motor and car. I thought he was just helping T-Mez. So, T-Mez is actually driving for Engler. Learn something new every day. :D

That Engler on the side of his car is Tim Engler. When I was in my early 20's and had a blown modified pulling tractor in Indiana Tim was one of the best multi engine tractor builders in tractor pulling and he built a lot of the top puller's tractors. He was also a multi time NTPA champion and...

The racing is always great at the Chili Bowl, but Mom's is always a great place to eat during the Chili Bowl... full of fans, racers, and great food. :D

This is not actually about the Chili Bowl, but when it's Chili Bowl time the first name that always comes to mind is Swindell, so I was watching some YouTube videos of Sammy Swindells old races, and I ran across this old Hidden Heros video following Sammy and his team across the country. His...

The 2025 RC Chili Bowl is there also.

If the chassis isn't bent, they have a lot of work to do. Unless they have a spare. But that was a pretty hard hit so who knows what kind of shape the chassis is in.

Thanks, that is what I thought, but I didn't know if there were any driver changes last year in his program other than adding the 4th car.

Who are the other 3 ABR drivers?

The very first year I hauled a car there, I started feeling bad about 9:00pm on Fri night and when I woke up Sat morning, I was about as sick as I have ever been and so was the crew chief. We both stayed at the hotel all day. I never got out of bed except to use the toilet until around 8:00 pm...

Some great stories come from Peasant Row.

Here are a couple videos shot a few years ago showing a tour of Keith Kunz shop.
