The Lions Club Super Pull of the South made a welcomed comeback with a solid crowd on Friday night, followed by a packed house on Saturday at the Lions Club Motorsports Park in Chapel Hill.
“The packed crows at Tomah (Wisconsin) a month ago gave us hope that the fans would be here,” longtime Lions Club member and photographer Bill Beasley said. “The crowd was super, possibly the best ever. We are very happy.”
In 2019, the Saturday night session was cancelled due to a summer gulley washer and the entire 2020 event was cancelled because of the Covid 19 pandemic, so fans from all over the country were as revved up as the pullers in anticipation of this year’s Super Pull.
