LSGTPA Teams Compete At Winter Championship in Ohio

Two LSGTPA pulling teams ventured north to Springfield, Ohio to compete in the Winter NGTPA Championship.  The event is hosted by the Hilliard Tractor Club in Ohio, and was contested at the indoor Voinovich Livestock & Trade facility in Springfield. 

The Mean Green Pulling Team of Steve and Aidan Hovind, along with the Outlaw Pulling Team of John Aufdenkamp, made the tow to compete in three classes.  Steve Hovind would wheel his new 'Bad Idea' turbo diesel, to a winning run on Friday night of the event.  Aidan Hovind would pilot his new 'Instigator' tractor, to top ten finishes on each night of the event. 

John Aufdenkamp would campaign his high winding 'Under The Influence' tractor in the 48 CI Open Twin Class.  This highly competitive class of tractors would include the biggest names in tractor pulling from across the nation.  Aufdenkamp would make a great debut in the class, placing his entry in the middle of the pack, within striking distance of the leaders. 

Both teams and all three drivers made an outstanding debut into the Winter Championship event.  With data on the track, and experience on the different type of pulling sled used, the teams will certainly be a great position to improve on their performances on their next trip north.
