'WANTA-PULL' TRACK / SLED INFORMATION
"WANTA-PULL" hires it sleds to put on events and the sleds we use weigh 40,000 Lbs. We have two Sleds available. One is called the "BUSHWACKER" and the other is called "The JUDGE". Both sleds are self propelled so that you don't need a tow back tractor. The sleds also have a digital distance measure meter on them and bring a set of scales with them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WANTA-PULL" Requires the track to be 300' long with 30' of runoff space and it has to be 150' between the fences with 40' being the width of the track and 55' on each side for spectator saftey.
Staging Area The area where tractors wait for their turn to pull. It is in this area that the tractors are weighed and hitch heights checked.
Starting Line The point where the sled is positioned for the puller, the point from which the measurement starts. When using a laser-measuring device, it is zeroed on the sled prior to each run.
Spotting Sled Each competitor can place the orange cone at the back of the sled where they want the sled to be parked when it is their turn to pull.
Shutdown Area The first 75 feet of the track in which the puller can shut down his vehicle if he has a problem. He may then take his second attempt. Pullers get two chances to make a measurable pull.
Out-of-Bounds Line The chalk like that runs down both sides of the track a driver who touches this line with his vehicle is disqualified.
Checkered Flag This marks the leading distance.
Run-off Area The area at the end of the track where the tractor shuts down.
Distance Markers These markers are placed at 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 intervals, so that fans and officials can gauge distances during a run.
