The sport of Truck & Tractor Pulling is a contest of hi-performance vehicles "pulling" a weight transfer device, known as a "sled" on a purposely built course or "the track."
The track is normally 300 feet long, 30 feet wide and constructed of the most readily available dirt. The contestants in each class hook their vehicles to the sled to see whose vehicle can pull the sled the farthest.
The Illiana Pullers Association sanctions this type of competition on a state level with 5 divisions of competition. They are (1) Altered Stock Four Wheel Drive, (2) Pro Stock Four Wheel Drive (3) Naturally Aspirated (N/A) Tractors, (4) Pro Farm Tractors and (5) Light Super Stock Tractors. Within each division are weight classes, illustrated in the following table.
