Hillsboro, WI "Hillsboro Charity Pull". If you want to attend a great pull with a very fan friendly facility then you need to head up to Hillsboro Wisconsin in August. Don Slama and crew put on a wonderful Lucas Oil event and all the proceeds go to local charities or people in need. "Shel-Shocked" had the trailer to itself for the ride up to Cheeseland. Coming into the event we were still the points leader but the Stewart family with the "Down and Dirty" Mod are charging hard. They won both hooks at Hillsboro and closed the points gap up tremendously. We had two solid top 5 finishes even with alittle ignition issues on the right back engine that you will see in the recap video. Still hanging on to the points lead. |
Indianapolis, IN Indy Super Pull at Fairgounds. Team Shelton headed over from Altamont, IL to the Indy Super Pull for an afternoon show on Sunday. Afternoon shows are always tough for the track crews to keep moisture in the tracks. We came out of Indy with a solid top 5 with "Shel-Shocked" but once again struggled with the trucks to get down a loose dry track. |
Altamont, IL Pull. After a weekend off and a little family vacation in some white sand with our team leader Amy we got back in the swing and headed north to Altamont for a friday nght show with just the trucks. Well the white sand must have killed our mojo because we stunk it up. Boys drove the trucks like I asked them too but it just wasn't our night. About the only thing we got was some good photos below. Now we loaded and head east to Indianapolis for the Indy Super Pull on Sunday afternoon with the Trucks and the Mod. |
Evansville, IN Southern Indiana Shootout Pull. Wow !!! what a difference a day can make. After Grayson and Reese struggled in northern Indiana the day before they got up on the throttle and gave us our best finishes in a long time on a track that we have struggled on with the trucks. "Shel-Shocked" said look out young guns your not going to out do me in front of this huge crowd and took the Win in the Mod class to take the lead in the points series. |
Goshen, IN pull at Elkhart Fair. One of the largest county fairs in the country also hosts one of the largest one day events the last week in July every year. Our entire team headed north to amish country to compete in front of a packed house of fans. Even though the dirt is sandly it is always very consistent and fair for all competitors each year. Grayson and Reese didn't have their best day at Goshen but "Shel-Shocked" made its way to the podium with a 3rd place finish. Now the crew had to head south for a 7 hour over night drive to compete in Evansville, IN |
Oak Harbor, Ohio Power Pull. "Shel-Shocked" finally got a much needed weekend off as the series headed almost to the Great Lakes in northern Ohio for a Saturday night only show. This was our first time competing at this facility and Grayson and Reese did a great job piloting their vehicles down what turned out to be a very tricky track for the entire class. |
Southwest Illinois Nationals in Fairfield, IL. After a long night of driving from Freeport, IL the team pulled their boot straps up and got ready for a tough night of competition with both the Trucks and the Mod. "Shel-Shocked" fell out of the top 5 on this night but Grayson drives the Culp Lumber "Sawmill Express" to another win and its 3rd win of the season actually tieing the "Wild One" truck from the Nelsons for the victory. Reese did an outstanding job of driving the General Tire "Cutting Edge" as he gains experience in the seat. |
Midwest Summer Nationals in Freeport IL. Once again only "Shel-Shocked" was scheduled for this 2 day event on Thursday and Friday.

Ohio State Nationals in Greenville, OH. Only "Shel-Shocked" had to make the ride to Greenville OH for this 2 day event. Great weekend for team as "Shel-Shocked" managed a solid 4th place finish on the first night and pulled out its first Win of the year on the second night. |
Wilmington, OH Pull. Grayson graduates High School on weekend of pull so crew takes all our equipment to pull to get our points and Ricky and Keith Long drive the vehicles.
