AET Truck and Tractor Pull

Event Description:

Trucks and tractors of all shapes and sizes will rev their engines and roar down the track on September 30 - October 2 at the AET Truck and Tractor Pull sponsored by the Agricultural Engineering Technology Club at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and the public. During the event, trucks and tractors pull a weighted sled down a dirt track. The weight moves toward the front of the sled as the vehicle pulls it down the track, making it more difficult to pull. Trucks and tractors are divided into weight classes. ABAC has had two pulling tractors, Altered Allis and Cracker Jack. Recently, the AET Club has been building a pulling truck for the 4WD 6000 pro street class. On September 30, ABAC students and the community can participate in the amateur night that begins at 7 p.m. The admission fee will be $5 per person. Children five and under get in free. Participants can enter their vehicles in the event for a cost of $5 per pull. On October 1 and 2, the Southern Pullers Association will provide the show featuring professional pullers. Admission will be $15 for adults; $10 for children 6-10 years of age; $10 for students with an ABAC ID; and free for children five and under. Trackside Parking will be $50 and includes one admission ticket. On September 30 and October 1, gates will open at 6 p.m., and pulling will start at 7 p.m. On October 2, the gates will open at 5 p.m., and pulling will start at 6 p.m.
