Rules & Regulations

ALL Diesel Trucks are required to go through a Tech Inspection before running. Please show up to each event at least 2 hours before running and for the mandatory drivers meeting which is held 1 hour before the pull. A diesel meeting is held directly after the drivers meeting and is mandatory for anyone running a diesel. If you are not at both meetings, you will not pull. Please be honest and fair, we want this to be a fun event for everyone.

The following are MANDATORY equipment. If you do not have any of these you will not be allowed to run. These are in place for your safety and the safety of the track crew.
- Must have DOT approved street tires
- Must have DOT approved seat belts which MUST be worn
- Proper hitch, solid shank with Shackle/Pinto Style (hitch height needs to be a maximum of 26 inches off the ground). NO HOLLOW SHANK HITCHES!
- Chain loops or driveshaft loops (Super Modified Classes Only)
- No extra weight in bed of truck (if you are found with any hidden weight, you will be disqualified)
- Truck bed MUST BE EMPTY (fifth wheel rails, roll bars, and box liners are the only exception to this rule)
- No tool boxes, bed mounted or rail mounted
- No tidy tanks
- No external weights
- You are required to have a helmet and neck brace. If you have neither you will not be allowed to run. You can purchase a neck brace and helmet at any local ATV dealer.
- If your truck does not have the tech inspection done 1 hour before an event, you will not be allowed to run. NO EXCEPTIONS!
- No asking about footage until the event is over. There will be results posted once EVERYONE has had a chance to pull. If you are unable to stay until the end of the event, you will be notified if you place in the top three.

Under no circumstances will Water Methanol Injection, Nitrous Oxide or Propane Injection systems be allowed in any of the diesel classes. If you have them, you will be required to disconnect them and remove your bottles and prove they are NOT operational. Otherwise, you will not be permitted to run.

Trucks will be tech 'd at every event. We must do this for insurance purposes.

Once a truck is tech’d, it cannot leave the designated area. Stay close to your truck. If you are going to leave your truck please let someone know and give them the keys to your truck in case it needs to be moved, or leave someone else with your truck.

Absolutely NO HOT RODDING in the pit area or on the track.

No driver is to consume any alcoholic beverages before an event. No driver or crew member is to have open alcohol before your truck is parked in the designated area, and the event is done. If you are caught, you will be banned for a full year. No refunds!

If you are caught breaking any of the rules before, during or after your pull, you will be disqualified.

Operation

Event management reserves the right to restrict entrants to acceptable behavior during any and all activities of the ATPA Sanctioned Sled Pulls. If an entrant or entrant's crew, or his/her vehicle or his/her conduct is deemed objectionable by event management, will be cause for eviction of entrant and his vehicle from the premises and suspension from future ATPA sanctioned events. In the case of any eviction or restriction, the ATPA or Event Management is not liable for refunding any entry fees. Under no circumstances are drivers allowed to drink and compete. If you are found drinking and competing you will be ejected and banned for one year.

Liabilities

In consideration of the acceptance of right to participate, entrants, participants and spectators; by executive of this entry form release and discharge ATPA, event management, and anyone else connected with management or presentation of the ATPA sanctioned event, of and from any and all known and unknown damages, injuries, losses, judgments and/or claims from any cause whatsoever that may be suffered by entrant to his/her person or property. Entrants agree that participants in any contests, games or activities may be limited to vehicles which have completed the ATPA Technical Inspection. Management will do all in its power to cooperate with participants to ensure a successful event. We ask that you please do the same. Kindly observe all safety and traffic regulations, safety rules and fire ordinances and maintain conduct befitting a representative of the sport of sled pulling.

Those who purchase a full year pulling membership from the ATPA will be assigned a competitor number that will be yours for the year. Other pullers get a onetime number. It is $100/year or $40/event.
