General Rules

  1. All vehicles covered by this rule book shall be powered by fuel and have a body attached that resembles a car, truck, van or tractor.

  2. All are subject to pre-pull inspections.

  3. Each vehicle must be weighed after each pull.

  4. Any vehicle may be inspected at any time by the competition. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class will be inspected after the pull competition is completed with 4th place standing by.  The bore and the stroke will be checked.  In the event of a D.Q. each place will move up.  4th place then moves into 3rd.  The person who D.Q.'s will loose all points earned for the season up to that point.

  5. If a puller stops before the 15 foot line, he has the option to restart.  He must pull immediately after the sled is returned to the starting line.  Then rule #6 applies.

  6. A 1 minute timer will allow for any adjustments, corrections/or drivers choice to drop to last position before time is up.  If one minute timer is out before adjustments or corrections.  Or a choice to drop to last position is made, then that will be considered your attempt for that round.

  7. Order of pullers will be set by drivers drawing numbers.

  8. Setting the sled: The last two pullers will set the sled.

  9. Start and finish of each pull shall be determined by a designated flagman.

  10. Distance pulled shall be measured from the center rear of the sled.

  11. Ties will be broken by adding weight to the sled and repulling.

  12. Touching or crossing any part of the boundary line with any part of the vehicle  will result in a DQ.

  13. Each driver will get 2 attempts up to and including 20 entries per class.  If 21 or more entries are present per class, only 1 attempt for each driver will be allowed.

  14. A vehicle may be entered no more than 2 times and must be driven by an appointed driver.

  15. No intentional jerking of the sled after the flagman signals stop.

  16. All other radios must be turned off while a pull in is progress.

  17. No dual tires, chains, or spikes

  18. Wheelie bars permitted.

  19. Weights and body must be firmly attached to vehicle.  If anything falls off between the 15 foot line and finish line, it is a DQ.  If a driver goes out of bounds before the 15 foot mark, he gets a restart.

  20. If pulling sled malfunctions, the driver will get a restart.

  21. Decisions of track officials are final.  Designated flag man can call on the hitch official if he is in doubt of a call.

  22. Vehicles must have a working safety switch mounted in a vertical position in the rear of the vehicle.  The kill chain must be hooked to the vehicle.  It is up to the driver to make sure the chain is hooked up properly.  A functional safety switch is mandatory.  A faulty switch is a DQ.

  23. Vehicles must start off of the line from a stopped, standing and idle position.  No running start are permitted.  A starting plate will be used for every pull.
