Shakey Super Pull & Public Track Day Weekend

Tractor Pulling is defined as 'The World's Most Powerful Motor Sport', and its coming in June for the first ever Shakey Super Pull. These events are extraordinary - tractors powered by everything from four aero turbines to five Keith Black V8s. They make several thousand horsepower - all to pull a weighted sled up a track. Great fun to watch, if only to see how some garage genius has managed to use a spider gearbox to get the power from three Allison V12s to one rear axle!
The winner of the competition is the machine that can pull the sledge the furthest. If more than one competitor completes the 100 metre track with the sledge (a Full Pull ), then the sledge is made harder to pull, and the competitors who made a Full Pull go again until they are stopped and a winner obtained. The sport however has many and varied classes from the small single engined 950kg Modifieds to the multi engined 4.5 tonne 9000 bhp monsters. But don’t take our word for it. Come along to the raceway and feel the earth move! Its awesome.
