BILL HALTER MEMORIAL TRACTOR PULL RESULTS

Blue Ridge, Texas was established in 1876, on land provided to Matthis Mowry by the Republic of Texas, for his services during the Texas Revolution.  The town was named for the blue flowering grass in the area.  The Greenville and Whitewright Northern Traction Company provided rail service through Blue Ridge, and served the farmers in the Blackland Prairie community.  Blue Ridge is home to the Blue Ridge Tigers, Cattleman's Cafe, and the Bill Halter Memorial Tractor Pull.

The Lone Star Garden Tractor Pulling Association teams rolled into Blue Ridge, for two rounds of LSGTPA tractor pulling action.  The event was contested on a 200 foot track, with just enough moisture from area rains to provide a sticky blackland surface for pulling.  The track tested many machines throughout the night, and found a few weak links in tractor drivetrains before the end of the event.

The LSGTPA Youth Class competitors opened the show, with Lane Duncan taking the win aboard his 'Twisted Kitty' tractor.  Jared Stephan piloted his 'Iron Head' entry to the runnerup position, with sister Kimberlee Stephan scoring a third place finish for the Moody Pulling Team.  Tatom Robinson placed fourth, aboard the Mean Green Pulling Team 'Yes Deere' tractor, and would pull to a fifth place finish aboard the Bonham Service Center entry.  Lane Duncan would score a sixth place finish aboard his 'Texas T-Rex' machine, with Tatom Robinson placing his 'Little Digger' tractor in seventh place.
