Attention ALL Pullers......

This applies to all pulling organizations, no matter how big or small. Rookies, veterans, guys who are just thinking about it etc......

1.Buy a rulebook, and read it, ask questions before a pull. "I didn't know" is not an excuse.

2.It is your responsibility to find out when and where the drivers meeting is.
Drivers meetings are mandatory, not optional.

3.Sign in as soon as you arrive-registration is not open for ever.

4.Find out who you are behind in line, and get there.

5.After you are in line, do NOT leave your vehicle. No doubt the line will move faster than you can think, and your truck will be in the way. This is turning in to a big enough problem, that it may be a DQ offense.

6.Come to the pull with your OWN hitch. Do not come to the scale, with the speech about "going to be borrowing one."

7.Make sure the hitch is big enough to fit the sled hook.
8.Make sure the hitch is big enough to fit the sled hook.
9.Make sure the hitch is big enough to fit the sled hook.
10.Make sure the hitch is big enough to fit the sled hook.
11.Make sure the hitch is big enough to fit the sled hook.
12. How big is the sled hook? Refer to Number 1.

I can't vouch for anyone else, but if you make it to the sled with a hitch that does not fit the hook, at a pull I'm officiating, you will be DQed, no refund.

13.And no, you CANNOT pull off a ball, or a pintle. This is not California.

14.100# over is just that-take it off.

15.Nobody cares if your hitch is 6" too low-however, EVERYONE cares if it is 1" too high. Not our problem, if that happens when you flip it over, drop it.

16.Almost everywhere, the driver and one crew member are the only ones allowed near the track, when that truck is pulling. The more you abuse this privilege, the more it will be tightened up.




Anyone have any more?
