Central Kentucky Antique Pullers

The Unsung Heroes of Antique Tractor Pulling

So many times we forget about the folks behind the scenes. The ones who never complain, and are always there and they stay there until the pull is over no matter what time it is. For the past several years we have been blessed to have Misty and Stacy to help us with sign ups and pay back. These ladies come to every pull lugging a computer, printer, cords, copies of rules, insurance sheets, and many, many more items that I don’t even know about.

Now just doing that is a huge help to the clubs, but the work is still not complete, after getting home sometimes after 1 or 2 am Misty still has more work to do. Now she has to compile all the results and post them to the internet so when we wake up on Sunday we can go and look and see how we did. Once completing the results she has to compile the points, this is even more challenging because you are adding and ranking multiple pulls together. Yes she has a computer, but coming from one who has done this before it’s not that simple.

We all attend pulls put on by other clubs, and I think you must agree Misty and Stacy make it easy for us pullers. So remember next time you look at the results or the points think about how much work goes into making it possible. I remember not too long ago when we did not have the website as an option and I think we all agree it’s a great addition to our club and sport.

These ladies receive no pay for doing this and many times they even cover cost out of their own pocket. So in return they should receive no grief, only our thanks and respect. So I ask that next time you sign up or return to the announcer stand to pick up you winnings, remember to thank these ladies for all their hard work and the many hours they put into making our sport enjoyable.
