Truck and tractor pulling, also known as power pulling, is an exciting motorsport competition which requires modified tractors to pull a heavy sled along a 35-100 m long track, with the winner being the tractor that pulls the sled the farthest. Within the sport, each machine is classified into a different division, and then a weight class. The sport is known as the world’s most powerful motorsport, due to the multi-engined modified tractor pullers.

1st Annual “Rumble on the Rails” Demolition Derby!
Take part in the excitement of a County Fair Demolition Derby! A Demolition Derby is an event where drivers compete by crashing their cars into each other in an attempt to disable the other’s vehicle. It is a spectator sport and participants often use cars that have been modified for maximum durability.
The event consists of multiple heats in which drivers are randomly paired up and pitted against each other in a single elimination tournament. The last car running wins the heat. At the end of the event, all of the winners from the heats compete in a championship round.
For safety, all drivers must wear helmets and seat belts. The cars are inspected for safety and all drivers must sign a waiver before participating. There are also rules governing the type of car that can be used.
The County Fair Demolition Derby is a fun and exciting event that can provide great entertainment for the whole family!
