2009 Marks the 23rd annual
ENDERLE PULL-OFF
Champaign County Fairgrounds, Urbana, Ohio
The 23rd annual Enderle Pull-Off will commence at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio on Saturday, September 19th. Kent Enderle, founder of the program and WPI has secured a six-year agreement between the Champaign County Ag Society and the Enderle event. This extension extends the Enderle Pull-Off in Urbana through the 2014 season and would mark 28 years for the program!
Once again, the annual "Enderle Appreciation Luncheon" will take place in the 4-H Activity Building at the Champaign County Fairgrounds just a few hours prior to the event, giving qualified Enderle competitors the ability to socialize and show their appreciation to the Enderles.
2009 Edition:
There are twelve divisions included in the prestigious Enderle Pull-Off that will be on tap at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio on Saturday, September 19th. An Enderle Pull-Off "rain date" is scheduled for Sunday, September 20th.

History:
In 1987, Kent and Joan Enderle unveiled the first ever "Enderle Pull-Off" at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Ohio. It was to reward competitors for their support of Enderle Fuel Injection. Kent Enderle patterned the event after one of the NHRA's major programs.
The first Enderle Pull-Off was a rousing success. It saw thousands of fans witnessing fifty of the top NTPA competitors lay it on the line for an Enderle purse of $17,800.00. This past season, the Enderle program paid a grand total of $64,405.00. Over its history, the Enderle Pull-Off has paid over $1,018,104.00! After the 2009 Enderle Pull-Off, the sum paid will total $1,082,509.00!
ENDERLE PULL-OFF - Information & Qualifying Criteria:
The following is information concerning how competitors qualify for the 23rd annual "Enderle Pull-Off":
The Enderle Pull-Off will be held Saturday, September 19th at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
There are eight (8) classes at the NTPA Grand National level that are part of the Enderle Pull-Off as well as four (4) classes at the NTPA Regional National level. The NTPA Grand National classes include TWD Trucks, FWD Trucks, Minis, Light Super Stock Tractors, Super Stock Diesels, Super Stock Open, Modifieds, and Unlimiteds while the Regional National classes include the TWD Trucks, FWD Trucks, Super Stocks, and Modifieds.
The Enderle Pull-Off Points are tabulated on the NTPA Grand National Circuit and in each NTPA Regional National circuit (RN 2, RN 3, RN 4, & RN 5). Region II & IV has carry-over points coming into the 2009 NTPA Season as a new rule has been instituted.
The vehicles in the top five (5) points standings in each designated division of the NTPA Grand National Pulling Circuit and the point leader in Regions 2, 3, 4, & 5 in each designated division of the NTPA Regional National Pulling Circuit will compete in the Enderle Pull-Off.
A region must have two classes scheduled in each division to qualify for the Enderle. If a region's division does not meet this requirement, the competitor with the most Enderle points in that division from any other region or combination thereof will be selected.
In the case in which a competitor qualifies in two different regions, the next competitor with the most combined points from the same two regions will be a qualifier "at large".
Competitors earn points on either the GN or RN point circuits according to their license/registration. Competitors do not earn points in both categories.
All NTPA National point events will count towards the Enderle Pull-Off's point system except for a blackout period beginning five days prior to and five days proceeding calendar year's date for the Enderle Pull-Off. (i.e. Enderle Pull-Off is September 19th - points do not accumulate between September 14th and 124th of the preceding year). This gives competitors a chance to concentrate on making the Enderle Pull-Off without worrying about breakage or traveling to the event from another locale.
