LADY BUTTERFLY is owned by John and Sandra Mann Trucking of East Canton, Ohio. Powered by a V-12 Detroit Diesel with four turbo-chargers, this awesome Kenworth has been one of the most consistent trucks in the Big Rigs Pulling Series of the past five years. The truck was number three in the United States in 2000 and finished number two in the nation in 1999. A serious back operation in March of 2001 kept John Mann out of the driver's seat until the very end of the 2001 season. John returned to drive the truck regularly in 2002 but missed a number of events due to his work schedule and mechanical breakage. This Big Rig had over one million miles on the odometer when it was converted to run with the Big Rigs. It is known far and wide across the United States and is easily recognized because of the bright yellow color and the flashing butterfly on the grill. www.ladybutterflypullingteam.com

The LADY BUTTERFLY only ran a limited number of events in 2004 after the team spent most of the winter in the state of California. A fifth place finish at Dayton, Pennsylvania and a sixty at Meadville were the best runs for the Kenworth last season.
