these events. The biggest event held by the COTPA is held at Dun- ganon near Goderich,” says Graham. In this event over 100 tractors and trucks take part. Graham usually has to compete against a dozen or so competitors in his class. The COTPA holds events all the way from Grand River north of Windsor to Warkworth northwest of Trenton. He enjoys the Dunganon meet best of all, “It’s the big- gest,” he says. But he quickly adds, “Blackstock is also a very good event.” At the Dunganon and several similar events there are approximately 21 trucks in Graham’s superstock 4x4 truck division. As of June this year he has already had significant class wins at meets at Millbrook and Paris and is well on the way towards a championship again. Competing in as many as 20 events each year is an expensive proposition so he has a number of local sponsors including Roger Tennant, who does much of his engine work, and the Blackstock Machine shop which carries out a lot of his fabricating. He has sev- eral other sponsors. am runs his own successful excavating business from the family farm south of Blackstock. Those who want to see Graham at his best can do so at the Blackstock Tractor Pull on July 6 and 7. We wish him well in this year’s competitions. By Paul Arculus Focus on Scugog = = ; - COMMUTERS!
