Diesel Truck Pull

The excitement in a local town fair is often found outside the blinking lights and games of chance of the midway. The dirt track is home to pulling of all kinds, from tiny garden tractors, to draft horses and to the diesel highway and 4X4 pickup trucks.
Pulling large, special purpose sleds, full of concrete blocks that move up towards the sled's front wheels, becoming heavier as the sled moves down the track, making the pull ever harder as it slowly moves forward. After a certain point the sled moves no more and sometimes the difference in pulls has the winner taking the ribbon with a difference of only a foot or two.
