Columbus, Ohio—The hook is in. The green flag is out. And the NTPA’s 54th championship season is on!
The National Tractor Pullers Association and the Calhoun County Fair will join forces to present the Calhoun County Fair Pull on Wednesday, August 14 at the fairgrounds in Marshall, Michigan. The event will be conducted in one session starting at 7 p.m.
In truck and tractor pulling, specialized vehicles of a similar build take turns dragging a weight transfer sled along a straight dirt course as the sled’s resistance increases. The winner is the driver whose vehicle moves the sled the greatest distance. In NTPA Championship Pulling, competitors travel across the nation to perform at the motorsport’s most prestigious venues and in front of the world’s most passionate fans for purse money and season championships.
Four Regional National divisions will compete at the Calhoun County Fair Pull: Light Limited Super Stock and Hot Farm Tractors and Four-Wheel-Drive and Pro Stock Diesel 4×4 3.0 Trucks.
Competitors will pull for the posted Regional National event purse for each division. RN-registered vehicles will earn points toward their divisions’ respective Region II championships (Hot Farms: Region II Northwest; 3.0s: Region II West). Moreover, competitors all divisions will vie for berths in the 37th annual Enderle Pull-Off scheduled for Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
