6-19-10  We fought the heat in Koerth, Texas,  and the 6th Annual Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Benefit won!!!!  What a day!!!  Good track-good pulling-good competition-good tractors and a great crowd with lots of excited spectators!  Nothing but good comments about all of you that made it happen! Special thanks to John Frazer for the invitation and all he does for CFF.  Also, special thanks to all of the sponsors that supported TMTPA along with the Branecky's for all the hard work they put into raising the added money.  It all helps to make it a huge success!!

It was a hot day but I think we all made it!!  Thanks to all of you dedicated pullers!!  Well, De Leon is next, a little over a month away, so you all have time for repairs, vacations, and R & R to get ready for the big one!!  So good Lord's willing we will see you there if not sooner !!!

5-4-10 What a day at the Milano Spring Sweep Pull Track!!!  The points pulls started with a bang - literally for some of us!  It was good to see all of the pullers, old and new, young and old?  Our new measuring system worked better than we expected, it made our recording of the footages MUCH easier with it‘s memory and radio transmitting of data to the table.

Some new tractors and some old ones and some unique ones, how about that David Barten and his turbine,  wasn’t that awesome!!!!!! 

We had, well to say the least, quite a day!!!!  Started with a fairly wet track, but before the day was over, it was awesome!!  Some said it was their favorite track, and we like it to!!!   We had a huge crowd of spectators and fans that were very into the pulling action.  We like to see the crowd so into it.   The weather was great,  not to hot with a cloud cover and no rain helped also. 

We want to say thanks to all you TMTPA diehards that are so dedicated and helped us to make it such a great success.  It seemed like the City of Milano and the Fire Dept. couldn’t appreciate enough what you all did to have made this such a great event!!!!

Thanks again, and good Lord’s willin’ we will see yall in Nordheim.

4-28-10  TMTPA has just purchased an Agtronix Sled Monitor Measuring System!  This system utilizes the latest technology and operates as a dual console system.  There is a sled operator console in the cab, plus a table console for the officials.  The table console is coupled to the sled data readout via radio signal, which means that the officials can now have live distance and mph readout as the pull progresses!  We are trying to have it up and running by the pull in Milano this Saturday.                                Byrl & Craig

4-19-10  We had a great time at the Gas Up Saturday!  Thanks to all of you who could attend, we registered a lot of pullers and inspected 18 tractors,  but the best part was the pulling!!  We pulled for about 2 hours, several guys got to run their tractors more than once to get the bugs worked out.  It looks like all the classes will be competitive this season,  so yall better get ready!    Byrl & Craig

3-1-10  After a long (and cold) winter, spring is finally getting close!  Anyone out there ready for some pulling??

Things are starting to look up for this year,  we have several pulls currently booked, and we are working on a couple of more possibilities.   The 2WD Modified truck class looks like it could really heat up this year, besides Daniel Branecky's truck we have several more in the building stages! 

Keep in mind our Gas Up is just around the corner,  April 17th is the date!  See yall there!    Byrl & Craig
