2. Contestants may be barred from pulling due to emotional or physical reasons. Ex: drinking, illness, etc.

3. Only the driver will be allowed in/on a vehicle when it is being towed or driven.

4. No riders are permitted on tow tractors or track equipment.

7. Any driver or crew member found under the influence of drugs or using intoxicating agents in the track area will be disqualified.

8. A driver’s meeting is optional and may or may not be held before the pull starts.

9. The first puller in the class will be considered the ‘Test Puller’. This ‘Test Puller’ may accept their pull distance or choose to come back immediately or drop to ANY position in the pulling order.

a) Should the head official rule that the first puller did not make an honest attempt, or suffers mechanical failure, the next puller in line will become the ‘test puller’ and will have all the options available to the ‘test puller’. This process may be continued (at the option of the head official) until the class is set.

b) The finish flag official must be informed of the ‘Test Puller’s’ decision before leaving the track. No other contestant will be given the option of test competitor.

10. A pulling vehicle may drop to any position in the class due to mechanical breakage. This will count as the first of two attempts for the vehicle to make a measurable distance. This dropping must be approved by the track judge. Safety equipment does not qualify for a mechanical problem.

11. A competitor has three minutes to hook to the sled after track is ready, or if after competition director and/or head flag calls them to the sled. Failure to do so will result in DQ with no refund of entry. (Competitors have Three (3) Minutes to come to track and make an attempt. If they do not make a measurable pull, then they will have the option of trying immediately or dropping. This will count as one attempt.

12. Puller receives two attempts to move the sled. If on the first attempt, the driver lifts off the throttle before 100’ the puller will return to the start line and receive their second and final attempt. Only for mechanical breakage may the puller drop to last for their second attempt.

13. When there is a re-pull caused by a contest malfunction, the puller or pullers affected may drop to ANY position in the class or may pull again immediately. Competitors may not move any weight.

14. Competitors may spot the sled anywhere in bounds and behind the starting line if they wish. A cone will be provided for this purpose. This must be done while the sled is returning to the starting line. Only one sled spotting is allowed. Once the sled has returned to the starting line and is ready the puller may NOT re-spot the sled. Doing so will count as the pullers ‘first attempt’.

15. All pulls will start with a tight chain. No jerking of the sled. Excessive sled jerking may cause DQ.

18. Excessive loss of liquid will result in disqualification, if the vehicle is under the green flag. If a vehicle is flagged, pull will be measured from the point of the red flag being issued. Failure to stop will be cause for disqualification. Excessive is defined as any steady or intermittent steam equal to a spot on the track of eight (8) inches in diameter.

16. Pulling will be over when forward motion stops. Competitors must stop immediately when RED flagged.

17. All pulls will be measured to the nearest 1/100 of a foot (two decimal places) utilizing an Agri-tronix GPS sled measuring system or laser measuring device.

18. When possible, all contestants must drive on and off the track. Tow starting will be done as a last resort and under tech official’s discretion.

19. All competition vehicles must report to the scales full of fuel/water/ice, etc. Fuel/water/ice, etc. may not be added once the pulling vehicle has been weighed.

20. Once a vehicle has made its measurable pull and is unhooked from the sled it must be moved from the end of the pulling track. Vehicles cannot be parked where they may interfere with the laser measuring device or flow of event traffic.

21. Any disqualification on the first attempt bars a second attempt unless the class is restarted.

22. The “Test Hook” puller may come back if they go out of bounds on their test hook attempt.

23. Pullers disqualified for actions on the track may still receive purse money. Should the class not be full a disqualified puller shall receive last place purse money IF the vehicle has made a measured pull.
