I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and others to those of you who do not know me yet.

My name is Wayne Klekamp. I am orignally from East of Cincinnati, Ohio. I moved to Vero Beach, FL. 10 years ago. I am 28 yrs old and work with my Father, we own a REI, Real Estate Investment company. We mostly own and manage 9 camping resorts all over the country. www.abcamping.com

I have had a diesel truck since the day I got my license. More than few Fords, 2 Dodges, and now 2 Chevy's.

I took over www.thedieselgarage.com about 3 years ago, at the time the site was still in it's infancy. Along with alot of help, we have created one of the largest Diesel Websites. TDG is all Diesel. Any of the big 3, heavy duty, medium duty, and everything else diesel! Currently TDG has over 67,903 Threads, 679,209 posts, and 20,858 Members. We were recently the victim of a hacker and lost 7 months of information.

Todd has been gracious enough to allow me to take the reigns of ThePullingPlace.com to take it to the "next level". I am confident this will be the Premiere Pulling Website for anything Pulling!

The site will never lose site of where it started, it will stay based here in the south.

Let's make it the best damn Pulling Site out there!

Thanks for the intro Wayne LOL! For those of you who don't know me im Erik Weyer. I'm 25 and from Hamburg, PA. I also work with my father but in the Marine and Rv industry at Maidencreekmarine.com and Maidencreekrv.com.
I got set up sled pulling with wayne a few months back at The Buck Motor sports! I have built a few Duramax pullers but my many love is the cummins. I own a 2004.5 dodge ram 3500. After blowing the motor at a dyno event 9 months ago in Dillsburg, PA I rebuilt the CR under the hood myself so i know them inside and out! Heres a few pics of my ride!

I am Bill Watson and I am 31 years old. I live in Corydon Indiana and own a HVAC and Appliance repair business. I have been in and around truck and tractor pulling most of my life.

I have been a part of The Diesel Garage for several years now and look forward to being a part of The Pulling Place and helping it grow into it's full potential. We will not stop until that is done.
