Beautiful weather, track looks good (better bring the power). I think we are ready. Let's start rolling them in and have a great day of pulling!!!!

Gas Modified 4x4 class

2009-09-08T11:51:00.000-07:00

6200# SS trucks meeting the Thumb rules for that class are allowed to hook in the 6200# Modified Street BB Gas class with the following exceptions.
If you weigh 6200# you must not exceed 23" hitch height OR
If you weigh 5700# you must not exceed 26" hitch height

This will still be a points hook for MTTP, we will assign points based on how the places are per the MTTP trucks.

Diesel Truck Rules

2009-09-04T17:20:00.000-07:00

I know there has been a lot of controversy about the rules for these classes. After talking with many of the pullers involved we, as a group, have decided to run the rules as follows. This has been a painstaking adventure, we have created a whole new set of rules in detail for different classes and decided NOT to use them this year. We have decided for this year to run the rules below. Our motive all along has been to try to create some classes which fit the most amount of possibly interested trucks without making too many enemies. If there is any issues with these finalized rules please contact either myself, Eric, Tim, or Glenn.
We want this to be as large of an event as we can in total dedication to Greg VanHouten and his family.
Thanks again for you patience!! And come an pull with us!!

If there are trucks that show up which the crowd will want to see, we will get you down the track!!
-Work Stock Diesel Truck, See attached Rules
-Street Diesel Trucks (MTTP Rules)
-Hot Diesel 2.6 Trucks (MTTP Rules)
-Hot Diesel Unlimited Trucks (MTTP Rules)
(Rule Exception, Drawbars allowed)

Kent City Truck & Tractor Pull 2009

2009-02-27T16:42:00.000-08:00

About another week and we will be half way to the next one.

Sounds like we are looking at the 12th of September. Will verify as we get closer.

Any ideas to make this year better? (other than no rain?)

I think we are going to try to get a couple semi classes.

Sounds like it may end up being a points pull for the club (MFSTPA).

Was the video ok?

Any thoughts are welcomed.

Modified Gas Trucks, Ladies & guys

2008-10-06T12:26:00.000-07:00

Here are the Ladie Pullers. Not too much carnage, I think it was just a front Detroit Locker that got destroyed in the Blue Ford Diesel. This is a really FUN class (6200 modified gas trucks)............of course I am a bit bias on that thought!!!!!!

Farm and Field Farm Tractor Classes

2008-09-29T06:00:00.000-07:00

Start out with 10,000 & 13,000 Farm Tractors, 22,500 Field Farm Tractors, then 8500 Field Farm Tractors. There is also a couple Antiques I missed on first post, my apologies.

Antique classes

2008-09-25T02:16:00.000-07:00

I really apologize for the quality of the video. The quality setting on the camera somehow got changed to a lesser setting. It is still "viewable" but I had intended on it being better video. My apologies again.

I am not going to break out each class, however, I believe they are done pretty much in the order that the hooks took place.

Please feel free to comment about the pull, or videos, or to the different pullers, or what we can do better next year, so on and so forth.

Thanks again and enjoy.

Stay tuned, more videos to come!!!!!

Thank You !!!!!!!

Thank you all who attended the '08 Kent City Truck and Tractor Pull!!!! It went very well, considering we had to move it a whole week. The weather was fantastic. The track was great, got a bit dry at the end, but none the less very good. Thanks Greg making a great base for the track.
I will be working on the videos starting today or tomorrow. I will post as many as soon as I can, it is a long, time consuming process but I will get it on here as soon as I can.
There are many thank you's we owe to many folks. I will get them on here as soon as possible.

Thanks again!!!!!
