I just wanted to get back to you on the slow race that I had asked about for rules a few weeks ago. We had the slow race here this weekend. We used two 100 foot lanes, got an official judge who conducts the tractor pulls at the county fair and we had 16 participants. A great time was had by all! There were 9 Internationals (3 M's, 2 cubs, a 400, 856, 1206 and a 966). We had a rule that the tractor had to be a minimum of 30 years old. There were also 4 JD's, one old D on rubber, one B, one 3010 gas and one 4010 diesel. Also we had 2 Fords, a 3000 and a 700 along with one Oliver 770. We conducted the race like a wrestling match, 2 tractors at a time with the winners advancing to the next tier of rounds. The final round for the championship was between a 1971 IH 966 with 38" rubber and a 1961 JD 3010 gas on 15.5x38's. The Deere won by no more than 3 inches, it was very exciting! Both drivers are looking forward to a rematch next year!
