Suspect Larry and Patsy are headed home, or possibly on toward Charlotte since they're entered for the National event there next weekend. FYI that most often the big stackers pulled by motorhomes that have tag axles feature the big 600 horse Cummins / Allison 4000 and have 20K hitches. They have air suspensions rated for that so don't have a problem. Several pull smaller (or aluminum) stackers with tag with the 450 Cummins which typically have 15K hitches. Rule of thumb is that when pulling over 20K (or prefer some additional margin) you should step up to the big Toters or more. Hopefully this addresses your question.

Thanks Patsy for all the great pictures...Jerry Nash also posts some great videos on YouTube of the MidWest racers.
