GIULITTO TAKES WIN AT KEYSTONE NATIONAL

 Joe Giulitto took home his first win of 2011 on Saturday night before a record breaking, jamed packed house at the  Jefferson County Fairgrounds just outside of Brookville, Pennsylvania.  Giulitto and three other Big Rig adversaries qualified for the pull off at this USA-EAST Sanctioned pull, but it was “Sneaky Pete” taking the victory with a stellar pass down the 300’ track.  Giulitto’s beautiful yellow Peterbilt is powered by a 3406 CAT engine that was running at full capacity during both runs at Brookville.  Giulitto is a former driver for the Fred Sanders’ Pulling Team from Ravenna, Ohio and built his own Big Rig truck just last year for competition.

The pull was sponsored by Kelly Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Brookville and by Car~ Mate Trailer of Leeper, Pennsylvania and was produced by Full Pull Productions, Inc. of Jamestown, Pennsylvania.  Photo shows Joe Giulitto with the Car Mate Trailer representatives receiving his plaque in the winner’s circle.

 

The runner-up semi was Dale Mitchell’s “Down and Out” International with KT-600 Cummins power from Mt. Gilead, Ohio.  Third place went to newcomer Bill Christ from Galion, Ohio with “Sticks and Stones” a single charger Kenworth also with a KT-600 engine.  Christ moved into first place in the Big Rigs Series point race for 2011 by virtue of his finish at Brookville.

 

Taking 4th place in the pull-off was Richard Scott from Palmyra, Ohio with “Silver Bullet II” a Mack with a 998 cubic inch E-9 under the hood.  Scott was unable to return to the pull-off after experiencing mechanical issues on his initial run.

 

The Big Rigs Series now heads to the Big Butler Fair in Prospect, Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, July 2nd at 7:00pm.
