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 Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department will join forces to present the Mechanicstown Meltdown Truck and Tractor Pull on Friday, June 21 at the Fox Township VFD Track in Mechanicstown, Ohio. 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.
Five Regional National divisions will compete at the Mechanicstown Meltdown: Light Limited Super Stock, Classic Super Stock, and Light Pro Stock Tractors and Super Stock 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 (Light Pro and 3.0: Region II East). Moreover, all will vie for berths in the 37th annual Enderle Pull-Off scheduled for Saturday, September 14 at the Champaign County Fairgrounds in Urbana, Ohio.
