WINNEMUCCA - Humboldt County, are you ready for some get-down-and-dirty fun?
The Tri-County Fair & Stampede will debut a new event this Labor Day at the Winnemucca Events Complex that is sure to leave crowds asking for more.
Buy some ear plugs and claim your seats early because the Edge Pulling Series by United Truck and Tractor Pullers is coming 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, Sept. 1. 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.
Pulling fee is $45, and includes a hook fee and two arena passes. All entries must be inspected by 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1.
For more information on entering your truck into this new and one-of-a-kind competition, please contact Skyler Neibaur, promoter, United Pullers Inc., at (208) 670-0996 or email www.unitedpullers.net.[[In-content Ad]]
