GENERAL RULES
1. The first contestant of each class will be the test
puller and at the completion of his or her pull may elect to pull again in 3rd
or last position. If a driver elects to do this, their first pull will not be
counted. All decision on repulls must be made before the pulling vehicle is
unhooked from the sled. There will be no test pulls in pull-offs.
2. Drivers must remain seated at all times during their
pull.
3. No pulling vehicles are to be left running while
unattended by the operator.
4. The universal numbering system for each class is as
follows: the first digits in the number are the upper limit of the weight class
and the last digits signify the order of pull. For example, number 9501 - 9500
is the weight class and the number 1 signifies the first puller.
5. No one is allowed on the track except the contestant and
persons needed to operate the pull.
6. All pulls must be started from a tight chain and then the
raising of two green flags by the flagmen.

Pull rules.
