Rules & Guidelines

1. Number of competitors limited in each class.
2. Registration fee: $20 per vehicle; all fees allocated to prize money.
3. Participants must provide proof of insurance at registration.
4. Each driver may only drive one tractor per class; a driver registering more than one tractor needs a new driver for the additional tractor(s). New “open” classes exempt.
5. A puller and one helper get free admission.
6. Drivers must be at least 16; if under 18, parental consent required.
7. All vehicles subject to inspection; each tractor entered by one driver per class (except specialty classes).
8. Only persons running the pull and the contestant allowed on the track.
9. All pulling vehicles weighed prior to competition; max weight per class includes vehicle and driver.
10. Vehicles must have an operator in the driver’s seat while running at all times.
11. All pulls start from a tight chain, on the raising of a green flag.
12. Two flag men operate on the left side of the track — one responsible for track/machine/contestant readiness, the other for the rest of the course.
13. Vehicles must be in neutral/park while hitched/unhitched; driver raises both hands while hooking/unhooking.
14. Puller may have the sled spotted in a chosen location with sufficient notice to the pullback tractor operator.
15. Contestants wishing a different gear from which they started may stop before the 100 ft mark for one new draw.
16. First contestant in each class may be a “test puller” and may elect to re-pull in 3rd position (first pull then uncounted). Decisions must be made before unhooking.
17. Tractors must stop immediately upon a red flag signal; the pull ends when the sled’s forward motion stops.
18. Drivers must remain seated at all times and wear an approved safety helmet.
19. No riders in/on pulling vehicles while pulling.
20. All vehicles must have functioning brakes.
21. All weights securely fastened on brackets, not in the cab/platform (no chains); must not obscure driver’s vision.
22. New hitch requirements: clevises no longer allowed; must be a plate with inside dimensions 3″ wide x 3¾” front to back.
23. “D” Hitching Device: min. 3″ diameter hole; max 1½” from rear point of hole to rear point of device.
24. Hitch point must be visible and clear for sled hook-up.
25. All tractors staged after weigh-in and not returned to the pit area.
26. Pressurized fuels (propane, nitrous oxide) not allowed as a secondary fuel.
27. Competitor must drive tractor onto and off the track (unless disabled), with no change of driver.
28. Contestant must proceed with pull within 3 minutes of the sled being ready; mechanical problems drop them to last position (Track Official’s call).
29. Stock tractors must have hood, floorboards, grill, fenders & be stock appearing; engines stock or manufacturer’s replacement for that model.
30. No four-wheel drive or dual-wheeled tractors compete against two-wheel drive tractors.
31. Draw bar height max 18″ (tractors up to 8,500 lbs) or 20″ (10,000 lbs+); min drawbar length 18″ from centre of rear wheel to hook point.
32. Stock tractors with a turbocharger may pull all stock classes if the turbo was factory-warranted.
33. Exhaust systems without mufflers pointed away from crowd; turbo tractors without mufflers need two 3/8 grade 5 bolts in the vertical exhaust pipe, 90 degrees apart and within 1″ of each other.
34. No weight behind the rear axle.
