Two weeks today June 6th at 11:00 am will be the next pull in Wymore. If you have a tractor that isn’t registered yet come to the sign up tent and let us know so we can get you registered before 11:00. We will have a raffle and the Heavy Sled money pull again !!
We had a lot of 200+ foot pulls last time with one Full Pull of 230 feet !!

What an amazing start. Everything was a learning point for everyone. The pull went perfect in my eyes. We learned how much staff we need to run the booth. We plan on having professional help at the next pulls from staff from the pro pullers so that is exciting.
Leave a comment on what you want improved on. On our end we need people to remember what class their tractor is and what classes you signed up for. We will have index cards at the next pull for everyone to write down their classes. If you forgot what your tractor is,at the next sign up ask and we will put it on the index card. We will also be working on the ramps to the scale.
Thanks to everyone for making the first pull a great one. We keep this up and we will be around for a long time of summer/fall pulling !!

Well here we are. We made it. Months, days, hours of prepping for something I never thought I would be a part of. Had no intentions of being here but here we are. I’m excited, nervous, everything you could imagine. Everything is new with everyone so patients is key.
I am really excited to announce the plans for the Heavy $led class. A new idea that I hope everyone enjoys. See you all in the morning. Starts at 11:00 am but I am sure we will be a little late with registrations but if everyone comes a little early and prepared, it should go smoothly. Got a new track cut in Wymore so we are ready to have high quality pull conditions. Can’t wait to see you all tomorrow !!

Reminder to everyone that tractors will need to be registered this year. We will be at the pulls setting up ourselves around 9am. If it’s the tractor’s first pull, make sure to get there early and get registered.
We will be announcing location of the pulls based off of weather/track conditions. As of right now the first pull will be planned in Wymore.

One of the biggest changes this year is that people will register their tractors and you will be notified which classes the tractor can pull in. The tractors will need a name or number. So be thinking of fun names for your tractor before the first pull you come to.
We have decided to name the sled Heartbreaker ! With the sled able to be set to short pulls all the way up to 200 feet, will have some huge pulls and great stories ! May 9th is coming up fast !
We are going to have raffles, drawings, and prizes throughout the year to keep fun for everyone !

We’ve been preparing the schedule. We are looking into maybe doing one in April and go until October. It will be around 10-12 pulls for the whole season. As of right now June July and August will have the majority of the pulls.
Would a 4th of July pull sound fun or would the 5th be better?

We have been working on some of the rules and classes. It’s kind of hard to make everyone happy at this point because so many tractors were altered and don’t really fit in any class anymore. Over powered for one class, underpowered for the other. We are still working those parts out. Here is what we have now though.

We will have kids 800 and 900. Adult 900-1100. There will not be anymore 700 because it just opens up cheating. Very few kids actually weigh 700 and maybe one adult/tractor combo actually weigh 700. No kids under the age of 4 can be on a tractor. 4-15 years old will be considered kids.

Tractors will compete against their own powertrain. Belt drive classes and clutch drive will now be divided. This will be for stock, altered, and V-Twin.

To keep up with the times, there will be a stock V-Twin class. This will be V-Twin 25hp or less. Any modification to engine, any at all will be excluded from this class and require to be in the regular V-Twin class.

Stock classes will be 10-14hp, 15-18hp. Must be single cylinder or opposed 2 cylinder.

Altered and twin classes are staying almost unchanged.

There will no longer be a measurement rule on exhaust pipes.

The biggest rule change will be how tractors and entrees are done The tractor will be registered with Joe McCormick and Dan Howell only. The tractor only has to be registered once. When entering, you enter the tractor’s name. You can name or number your tractor. We need to know the tractor that is entered, not who the driver is. Any modification made throughout the year need reported to see if you need to be in a different class.

This is were we are at for now. There is still a lot of minor rules that will be added soon. We will also post the existing rules very soon as well. The people who have been pulling understand all this so we will work on getting the old rules posted soon.

Lastly, any form of blatant cheating will get you banned from the group immediately with no chance of return. Any questions just ask. Any misunderstanding of rules just simply ask.
