10-4 Magazine December 2022

38 10-4 Magazine / December 2022 It was really cool to see the green and white 2013 Kenworth T660 driven by Craig Morrison. This truck is owned by Richard Wolfe Trucking out of Mt. Vernon, OH. Craig pulls flatbed for them. This is one nice aerodynamic truck with an old school Seminole paint scheme. Craig won 2nd Place in the Bobtail Class. Another interesting rig in attendance was Doyle Montgomery’s “Flying Deu2ce” racing truck from the GATR series back in the early 80s. Mike Lierer had heard that the truck was just sitting in a field, so he bought it, got it running again, and brought it to the show. The truck is a 1971 extended hood KW powered by twin turbo 8V92 that still has its original frame and rear axles. This is a neat piece of truck history. I had heard that Justin Lang was considering coming to this show, and after some convincing from Max Speier, he actually did! Driving a flat black 1971 Peterbilt 359 little window needle nose with a 36” bunk hooked to a nice MAC flatbed spread axle with a black side kit, Justin’s combination was looking tight. The truck has a Cummins 400 BC with 5+4 transmissions. It was great to finally meet Mr. Lang and talk. Another trucker Max Speier convinced to come was Clayton Driskill (That’s My Job 4/22) from Texas. Clayton’s rig, a blue 2018 Kenworth W900, pulled in and took 1st Place in the Combo Class. It was great to see this new show bring in trucks from as far as Texas and Pennsylvania. I am looking forward to next year’s show to see what Heidi and her crew can do and how much money they can raise for such a great cause – the DMF Foundation. So, save the date for September 23, 2023. I will be there to cover it again, as great times were had by all. The quality of trucks at this show was absolutely outstanding. Who knew raising funds for charity could be so much fun and so rewarding! n ANTIQUE CLASS Best of Show: David Breck Jr. (1984 Autocar) 1st Place: Fred Lauck (Rolling BBQ Grill) 2nd Place: Ed Wilson (1979 International) 3rd Place: Cole Gibbs (1960 Ford) BOBTAIL CLASS Best of Show: Giulitto Trucking (1992 Kenworth) 1st Place: Shawn Hambrick (2019 Peterbilt) 2nd Place: Craig Morrison (2013 Kenworth) 3rd Place: Marcus Ballentine (1994 Kenworth) COMBO CLASS Best of Show: Todd Gribble (2012 Peterbilt) 1st Place: Clayton Driskill (2018 Kenworth) 2nd Place: Paul Richards (2022 Peterbilt) 3rd Place: Max Speier (2021 Peterbilt) PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD Todd Gribble (2012 Peterbilt)
