HUNT COUNTY FAIR LSGTPA TRACTOR PULL RESULTS
by LSGTPA
Hunt County Texas is named for
Memucan Hunt, Jr., who served as the Texas Secretary of the Navy from
1838-1839. Maybe this historical relation to water, explains why the Hunt
County Fair seems to always coincide with rain during the Hunt County Fair
opening weekend ! The 2013 event was no exception, as the LSGTPA tractor
pulling teams converged on Greenville, Texas after a rainy week. The
Hunt County Fair plays host to the only 'double header' event on the LSGTPA
tractor pulling schedule.
Opening ceremonies included an outstanding performance
by singing duo Bailey Melvin and Morgan Dellow, with the National Anthem
presentation.
The Youth Class tractors opened the show, with Jared Stephan
pulling to a victory. Mason Hovind piloted his 'Yes Deere' entry to a
runner-up finish over the third place tractor of Kody Langham. Cassidy
Bramlett placed fourth, with Lane Duncan posting a top five finish aboard his
'Texas T-Rex' entry. Korben Colley-Greer made his 2013 debut aboard a new
tractor, and rounded out the field in sixth.
In Stock, Kolby Langham took the win over Skeet Degner, with
Alton Degner pulling to a third place finish. Colby Crowe and Claude
Lewis finished fourth and fifth, while John Aufdenkamp finished in the number
six slot. Aidan Hovind took the 'Yes Deere' tractor on a wild ride out of
bounds, with the resulting DQ limiting the team to a seventh place
finish. In Stock Diesel, Ken Langham Jr. led the field with the win, over
Steve Hovind and Keith Pope. The Big Stock Class saw Connie Jesko take
the win over Shawn Aufdenkamp, with Jerry Toland placing third. Kolby
Langham placed fourth over Patrick Bramlett and Alton Degner.
The Stock Altered Class title belonged to Alex Jesko over

the win, over Todd Hickerson and Ken Langham Sr. The exciting Mini Rod
Class tractors were paced by Jerry Toland aboard 'Shinin Time', over the '99%
