Truck and Tractor Pulls:



It started many years ago with Farmers and Ranchers seeing who had the most powerful team of ox or horsepower.  CFP's Hot Rod Tractor and Truck pullers give it all and it's all about horsepower still, as Hot Rod Tractors and Trucks hook up to a weight transfer sled and see who has the most powerful machine.

 

We feel that Tractor and Truck pulling have a lot to do with our business.  It was indoor Tractor Pulls that started the whole indoor Motorsports industry.  Engines hanging off a dragster looking chassis with huge tractor tires while they bounced the front wheels all the way down a 150 foot track and the roaring of the engine being revved to the limit - that is what it is still about!

 

If you get a chance to attend one of our events with a pull it is very exciting.  There is a huge amount of noise, sometimes some fire, and usually a whole lot of wheelies being popped as the driver negotiates down the track with the front wheels 6 feet in the air.

 

Most of the time we have a Modified Tractor class and a hot rod pick-up class.  Tractors and trucks both are powered usually by big block Chevy or Ford engines running on racing methanol fuel.  Sometimes we have a jet powered rig compete and even tractors with more than one engine when we run a class for them.

 

Tractor classes are usually 5800 or even up to 7000 pound classes.  That means the tractor weighs no more than those numbers with the driver.  The tractor hooks up to a weight transfer sled and see how far they can pull the 50,000 pound sled down the track.  Furthest pull with the most weight on the sled wins.

 

This is definitely not your Grandfather’s tractor...
