Chris Noll - driver, builder

Chris started this whole thing.

Before graduating from high school in 2008, he completed his senior project - building Bad Habit. But, building it wasn't enough. He teamed up with his cousin, Matt, to pull the tractor in KS, MO and NE pulls throughout the summer of 2008. With help from friends and family, and the support of the local community and the tractor pull leagues, the first season was a huge success.

Chris recently graduated from the heavy equipment program at North Central Kansas Technical College, and will continue to pursue his Associates Degree in the diesel mechanics program this fall.

Matt Noll - driver, builder

Matt helped build Bad Habit in the spring of 2008, and stayed on the team throughout the summer season as the 1450 4-cylinder class driver.

Now, he's built his own tractor - Troublemaker - and will be pulling all through the 2009 season.

When not pulling, Matt's riding four-wheelers, playing football and hanging out with friends. He plans to start his first year at North Central Kansas Technical College this fall. 

Dave Noll - driver, builder

Dave - Chris' dad - has been involved with the Bad Habit project from the beginning, and has been caught occasionally sneaking in for a few pulls.

The highlight of his pulling career so far has been driving a fellow puller's V8 tractor in an open pull in Lawrence. Unfortunately, all the cameras were packed up, so we don't have any record of it - but we still hear about it!

Laura Noll - decal and web guru

Laura - Chris' sister - graduated from K-State last December, and it was just our luck that
1) she's family and 2) she knows how to do this Web stuff. She does all of our graphic design work - logos, decals, web graphics - everything. She also handles our video editing and gets everything posted online so we can share it with our friends.

Since she does that for us - we let her do a little shameless self-promotion on our site. Turns out, she's pretty good at multi-tasking and can handle more than one project at a time, so if you're needing a designer, you can borrow her!
