The concept of pulling is based upon who can drag the sled the farthest on a dirt track. The dirt track is usually 300 feet long with two white lines on each side as boundaries. If a competitor would touch the line they will be disqualified. The competitor has two attempts to make a pull, if they do not travel 100 feet in their first attempt. Once the competitor makes his or her pull, it is measured. These distances are recorded and results are based upon those distances. If more than one competitor travels beyond the full distance, a "Pull Off" will occur.
The sled (otherwise known as weight transfer) is hooked to the pulling vehicle. As the competitor takes off down the track, the load will get heavier to pull. The two major components of the sled are the box and pan. The pan is sliding on the ground without much resistance at the start of the pull. The pan will increase friction with the track as the box, which is chain driven, comes towards the front of the sled. Inside of the box are lead blocks weighing a ton. Once the box tops the friction of the pan is greatest and the pulling vehicle slows to a stop.

The Week After the Fair
We invite businesses to sponsor our tractor pulls and get your name out to more than 30,000 people during our 3-day event. Your business will be announced throughout the pull and Facebook posts will highlight our sponsors as well. If you have a banner or sign advertising your company, it will be displayed on the track fence all three days. Banners or signs may be dropped off at St. Joseph Church's Parish Office or pick up can be arranged for your convenience. The tax-deductible Sponsor's Donation is $100.00 for this year's truck & tractor pull banners (mail to: St. Joseph Church, 11045 St. Joseph Blvd., Mantua, OH 44255). Limited space - first come, first served.
2024 Supporters Appreciated!
