Jessie Petro's new Two Wheel Drive truck, "2 Timin" sure looks good! Here he is at Tomah taking a 3rd place finish in Session Five. The chassis is a mate to Jessie's "Buckeye Hauler" and was built about 5 years ago. The truck had been owned by Justin Galion, who pulled it on the OUtlaw Circuit for several years. The Petro's bought it from Galion just prior to the Louisville Farm Show. (Jim Walbolt Photo) |

Tom Larue debuted his new TWD at Brigden on June 1st. Called "Anger Management" it is an all new vehicle other than the body. But, with new paint and a new name perhaps Larue can chalk up another NTPA Grand National title in 2007. (Photo by Jim Walbolt) |

J.R. Collins missed all of 2006 with some health issues, but he is ready and healthy for the 2007 season with his potent Buckeye Bulldog. This shot from a few years ago at Bowling Green shows the power of the "Killer" Mack. (Photo by Jim Walbolt) |

Tim
Cain had an exciting run at Connersville in 2006. Although it looks
bad, Tim was uninjured and had the tractor at Sandwich the following
weekend. All this was from a Turbo that exploded, sending small
bits of the turbo thru the sheetmetal. The fire was from oil hitting
the hot motor. If you look closely, you can see the left front tire
at the front side of the hood, it ended up higher than the Grandstand.
