Truck and tractor pulls to return to Labor Day weekend line-up

Humboldt County, are you ready for some get-down-and-dirty fun? The Tri-County Fair & Stampede is excited to announce the return of a new favorite event.

Buy some ear plugs and claim your seats early because the Edge Pulling Series by United Truck and Tractor Pullers is coming back to Winnemucca.

This head-pounding, drive-line-snapping, truck-pulling bonanza is a motorsport competition, which requires tractors and trucks to pull a heavy sledge (sled).

You guessed it: the winner is the guy or gal who pulls the sledge farthest.

The sport is known as the world's most powerful motorsport, due to the multi-engined modified truck and tractor pullers.

Join the fun at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31. You can take part as a spectator or you can be a participant. Either way, you're going to have a great time, and next year you'll be back for more.

Spectator tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 6-12; children ages 5 and under get in free.

For those who want to try their talent in the arena, local trucks are welcome. Full rules and information are available at http://www.labordayfair.com/TruckPulls.html.

Tech inspection will take place Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; all local trucks will be assigned a class at that time.

A $50 hook fee also includes two arena passes. All entries must be inspected by 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31.
