GENERAL RULES:
* Membership fee will be $35.00 per tractor and will include 1 tee shirt. Membership fee will be $30.00 per tractor without tee shirt. Multiple tractor families will be charged full price for the first tractor and $30.00 for each additional tractor with a tee shirt or $25.00 for each additional tractor without a tee shirt. Pullers do not need to be members to pull. Extra tee shirts will be available for purchase, cost depends on size
* MEMBERSHIP CARDS MUST BE USED TO REGISTER AT ALL PULLS (except Hometown)
* Not responsible for typographical errors and misinterpreted rules. If you have a question, please call and ask
* NSF checks – violator will NOT be allowed to pull until the check is paid, including any bank surcharges. The violator will no longer be able to write checks to Dairyland Garden Tractor Pullers
* Tractor points will be tracked at each pull, excluding Hometown. Season points will only be given to members with a completed membership form on file in that member’s class
* Season points breakdown as follows: At all points pulls, all tractors will receive two points if they move the sled a measurable distance under their own power. Additionally, 1st place will receive 10 bonus points, 2nd will receive 9 bonus points, 3rd will receive 8 bonus points, etc. This means the total points awarded will be 12 points for 1st, 11 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd, etc, down to 10th place. From 10th place on tractors will be awarded the 2 points for moving the sled only. If a tractor does not hook, or does not move the sled, no points will be awarded.
* Hook fees are as follows:
– Hometown: $7.00/hook, 1st -2nd-3rd place ribbons will be awarded depending on number of tractors
– Stock: $10.00/hook, 1st-2nd-3rd place ribbons will be awarded depending on number of tractors

* Stock through Diesel will receive a payout and will be paid to the top 3 tractors in each class if between 4 and 9 tractors. If there are more than 10 tractors the payout will be to the top 4. If there are 3 tractors the payout will be to the top 2 places, and if there are 2 tractors the payout will be 1 place.
* Late entries (after the drivers’ meeting) will pay an additional $5.00/day
* ALL NON-MEMBERS pulling in any class except Hometown will pay an additional $10.00/day to cover the cost of insurance
* Participants must sign an insurance waiver. If participant is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must also sign the waiver. Parent or legal guardian must be present at pull while minor is operating tractor
* Please try to name your tractor because the points are awarded to the tractor, not the driver
* One driver per tractor per class
* Tractors may only pull in 2 classes. In the Stock you can only pull in 2 of the 3 weight classes
* Once the class has started there will be NO REFUNDS for that class
* Shoes must be worn in all classes and must completely cover your feet (no flip flops, etc. allowed)
* Long pants are mandatory in all classes

* Fire jackets are required for all tractors running in Outlaw, Outlaw Open, 4 Cylinder, Unlimited Open, or Diesel classes. Additionally, fire pants are required for tractors running in the above classes that have a roll cage. If any tractor runs on alcohol the driver must wear a fire jacket and pants, E85 included
* All tractors will be allowed to back up to the eliminator under power (including larger classes). At the end of the pull all drivers in Outlaw and larger are required to put their tractor in neutral and have both hands in the air while being unhooked. You will be signaled when unhooked
* All tractors must have working brakes
* All tractors must have fenders covering ¼ of each rear tire
* No attachments will be allowed on the tractor except in the Hometown class, where the mower deck is allowed
* All tractors must have at least a 3” backrest on the seat. The seat and backrest must be able to support the driver
* Hitch height not to exceed 10” (or factory) for Hometown and 13” for all other classes. Hitch cannot extend past the face of the rear tires and must be rigid- no swing bars. Hitch height must be checked each time you pass over the scale. Hitch hole must be 1-1/2” minimum
* Wheelie bars must not exceed 5” from the ground and cannot be less than 5” behind the face of the rear tires or the bottom of front tire must not exceed 20” from the ground while wheelie bars are in contact with the ground. Wheelie bars must support the weight of the tractor. Rear bumper bars are recommended
* A neutral safety switch or clutch pedal switch is required for all tractors running the 4 Cylinder class and above. This is recommended for tractors running Outlaw and Outlaw Open as well
* Tether switches must be positioned so they are visible and so that weights will not interfere with operation
* All tractors must weigh-in and check hitch height before pulling
* Tractors will not be worked on after they have reached the track except for adjusting weights
* Only the driver and one crew member will be allowed on the track to hook or unhook. If the tractor has problems, we will allow more help to enter the track area (We want to be safe but we also want everyone to have fun and pull)
* The driver can wave off their pull prior to the wave-off mark. The driver will be allowed to hook one more time and he/she may adjust weight but, not remove or add weights. Each tractor gets 2 attempts prior to the wave off mark. Clay tracks will have a 75’ wave-off mark and blacktop tracks will have a 50’ wave-off mark. This may change if needed, and will be announced at the drivers meeting
* In the event of a pull-off, the tractor only gets 1 attempt to move the sled. Tractor must be ready to pull within 3 minutes once the class ends. Tractors must re-weigh and check hitch height
* We do not have a re-hook option unless the sled weight is changed (see below). This may change at some events and will be announced at the drivers meeting

* The chain hook point on the sled may be raised for larger classes
* All drivers must be able to completely and safely operate the tractor they are driving
* Drivers must remain seated with feet firmly on the foot boards while pulling down the track. Handles on top of the fenders are highly suggested
* Assistance may be given at the starting line however absolutely no assistance after 50 feet. Any coaching down the track must be done from outside of the white lines. All drivers must stop their own tractor. Tractors helped or stopped by anyone other than the sled operator will be disqualified. This will be determined by the sled operator and/or the flagman
* If any weight falls off the tractor during a pull, and is seen by flagman or sled operator, the tractor will be disqualified. All other items that fall off will be considered mechanical and will be measured at that point. Please secure all items for everyone’s safety. It is the driver’s responsibility to check their tractors before each pull
* If tractor goes out of bounds (any tire of the tractor) the tractor will be disqualified. Sled operator and/or flagman’s decision
* All tractors must stop when red flag is waved. The flagman and sled operator are in control of the track.
* Un-sportsman like conduct will not be tolerated. First offense will be verbal. Second offense will result in loss of points for the day.
* All tractors must always be operated in a safe manner. This means in the pit area, driving onto the track, and driving off the track. Hot-rodding will not be tolerated and will be watched closely. If this is a problem, the driver will be disqualified and possibly suspended from pulling
* Tear down is allowed. If a participant believes another tractor is illegal to run in the class for which it has registered, they must contact the President or Vice President and provide $100.00 up front. The request to tear down must be given up to 5 minutes after the completion of that tractor’s class. Once the driver is notified that they are to be torn down, they must bring their tractor to the announcer’s stand or other club-determined location. Club officials will complete tear down with the club’s approved tools and check list. If, after tear down, the tractor is deemed legal the tractor will get the $100.00; If deemed illegal the participant who challenged the tractor will be given their $100.00 back. If tractor is loaded after notification, they will be considered illegal and will lose points from year to date including that pull. Anyone found illegal will not receive a placing for the day and cannot pull with DGTP until proven legal
* ALL drivers are required to attend pre-pull drivers meeting. Announcements made at the Driver’s meeting will take precedence
