Just wanted to update everyone who is Sled Pulling at our event. We have revised the rules and I am sure there maybe some more revisions at the event. Please be patient with us. This is the first year we are running such a huge contingent of trucks so there will be some growing pains. We want to make sure that the rules are fair and allow for fair competition.
So make sure when you arrive that you attend the driver's meetings and if you have any issues with the rules, please email me and I will take them under advisement. Thanks.
Rules can be found here

Also, here is how the competitor parking is working out for the event. For those who plan on camping at the track, only Trailers are permitted on the racetrack grounds. No tents allowed. Under no circumstances will anyone be allowed to park in the Pro Pit area. Those running in Pro-Street or authorized persons, are only allowed to park their trailer/vehicles in this area. If you are arriving to the track on Friday and plan on parking your trailer in the Sportsman pit area, between the hours of 7:00am-10:00pm, you are required to have a GREEN August Blackout Card placed in one of the windows (front or rear) of your trailer. There is another event that evening so please be warned you will have to pay admission for Street Legals that night if you decide to park your trailer in the pits that day. If you do not want to do this, you are more than welcome to park your trailer in the designated camping spot overnight and then move your trailer into a pit stall Saturday morning.
Green Cards will be handed out by Castrol Raceway Staff upon your arrival at the track. Please obey them and their rules.
The Green Card is to be clearly placed so we can distinguish who is competing in the Blackout and who is not. Any trailer that does not have one of these in their window, will have their trailer towed out of the pit area and placed in the designated camping area. Each stall has a number on it. Each stall is approx. 20+ feet wide and about 70 feet long. You only get 1 stall. With the amount of competitors expected, we cannot give you another stall unless the count is lower than projected. If you want to be beside someone, make sure they are lined up behind you in the line up. We will be rolling through everyone quickly to get them through the gates so the lineup is not taking too long.
Any competitors who are not bringing a trailer with them will be doubled up with another competitor in one stall IF NEEDED. We ask those who are not hauling a trailer, please do not park your vehicle on Friday and leave it there. If you need to drop it off Friday, please park it in the gravel parking lot or in the grassed area.
Info about this and other info upon your arrival is in this handy PDF
