BROWNSTOWN, Indiana (May 10, 2006) -- The Southern Pullers Association, Inc has announced a new sanctioning agreement with the
Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League. The Southern Pullers Association board of Directors made the announcement after a meeting held in
Tiffin, Georgia. "We feel by sanctioning our events thru the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League that it will help us in our growth and overall
betterment of our association" began Mr. Franklin Burch president of the Southern Pullers. "We are excited about becoming a member
state organization with the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling league and the benefits package they bring to the table for all pullers."

The new agreement will go into effect immediately for the remainder of the 2006 competition season and continue ahead into 2007. The
