sounds like a good time to me even if i am moving on the 18th and having family for the long weekend , they should understand!

nothing said i couldn't fit in a good 'ol tractor pull between truck loads

big daddy chuck

There might even be a dizzy there...
 

There's alot of FTE members near Orono. I went once last year, from Scarborough, with only one days notice, so it could be possible to get a few members to go on SUNDAY.
Somehow I don't think Matt will want to drive his Focus that far to watch tractors. :-D
AL. :-wink

Should be a good event. First time they have tried anything like this.

The feeling was that Stirling is too far east and that Barrie is too far north, so why not pull together something in the area - there are enough guys into the stuff in the area.

I'll likely go on the Saturday. Might get lucky and spot my old truck - it resides just west of Bowmanville on the south side of HWY 2 - just past the Canadian Tire and such....

You don't think I will be able to squeeze it into my schedule of 12 hour, 7 day work weeks? ;)

-Matt :-tap

A LAWN tractor pull???! Well thats different.
It may be worth checking out.
Is anyone heading to Sterling this weekend?

Yup - lawn tractor pulls - from stock to modified I believe....it is a growing sport....

How modified? Like the mini-tractor/mini-rod pullers?

I wonder if they still have lawn tractor cicle track races? Saw those maybe 8-10 years back & they were "fast" & it looked like a real scream!!!!!!!!
Anybody got Tim Taylor's phone number? :-X14
AL. :-wink

Not 100% sure how modified - I remember about 7 years ago seeing one equipped with a V-8!
I think most of the ones drawing at Orono will be stock.

Circle track? Still huge in the USA from what I have seen on SPEED channel....

Should be a good week-end.....there is also a car show at Bethany the same week-end - about 20 - 30 minutes down the highway....

This sounds like fun. I'm 10 minutes away from the fairgrounds. Whatever the consensus is I'm available either day. Heck I might go both days.

I'm keeping up with the weather reports.
Sunday is my day off & I'm due for some live entertainment........The really noisy kind!!!!!!! Oo.
AL. :-wink

What time does the gate open on Sat? Any idea when the tractor pulls are? Just thinking about when's the best time to go......

I found this link. I'm not sure if the info in the first post came from this link.
