I was lucky enough to sit at the finish line and get some on the track shots! I definitely need to grow a few inches, I either had to stand on my chair to see over the Full Pull Magazine and Pulloff.com guys or squeeze between them, the firemen and the "safety" rope! Luckily Scott's division is quiet, but the trucks make a horendous noise and compression that literally made me shutter and brought tears to my eyes. It made me feel like sitting 20 feet away was way too close! Needless to say, I was glad to retreat to my seats in the stands.
The object is for drivers of these trucks and tractors to pull a weighted sled the farthest distance down a dirt track. The weight in front of each category indicates the weight of the truck or tractor and not the weight they are pulling. As the sled is pulled forward, weights on the back move toward the front and begin pushing the sled down into the dirt, making it increasingly harder to pull it. Pulling the full distance of the track is considered a "Full Pull." If more than one driver achieves a full pull, they pull again but with extra weight on the sled. The driver who pulls the farthest wins.
