To the tractor pullers that help each other.
What is the big deal about standing at the end of the track to help a teammate or a family member down the track. Some might say it is danerous but
when somethig goes wrong who are they looking at.
They should be looking at the flagman but they are looking for you at the end of the track for help because it is not the flagmans job to help the tractor or person.

First of all,with all the prventions in place,it's not dangerous,second the driver should be well versed in what he or she is doing---if you don't know what your doing you don't drive--If all these things are takin into consideration---it's supose to be fun for ALL. That goes for the flagman sled operator,linesmen,drivers,fans,parents,everbody involved. Jim

Why not arrange to stand with the flagman...That way the driver can see both of you. If the rules don't allow it, don't do it!

By the time a coach tries to tell someone in the drivers seat how to react it is in reality too late. Although the stock pulls are not that fast, things still happen faster than communication and reaction time can keep up with. The most effective coaching is to discuss the pull afterwards and tell what should be done next time. The flagman is the official in charge of the track, if he signals to stop, the driver better be stopping, not looking to see if his "coach" agrees with the official. Regardless of age, you shouldn't allow someone to drive if you aren't confident that they can stop the thing especially in the event that something unexpected happens. The rest of the little finesse type driving techniques will come with experience. Thats part of the fun! I've run alongside my brothers in the past watching their pulls, not that they would listen to me if I had said anything anyways. For first time pullers who may be nervous, most of the coaching should be done ahead of time, they will have enough to keep track of without trying to concentrate on somebody over on the side. At this point I've offered more opinion than you asked for.

I cant agree with that 100% because I know with our JD A (fast low) in low gear, we can pull and keep up with the 3mph speed limit easy, and if you keep it under the "horn" and then when my dad is walkin along the fence..he lets me know when to hit the throttle and give it a little more speed to keep it closer to the speed limit....lol..

Coachs or other competitors taking notes they all manage to wander in front of the video camera operator.
