If any part of the tractor or sled touches the boundary lines, you are disqualified for that hook. If you are red flagged and do not stop immediately, you will be disqualified for the rest of that pull. If the bottom of the front tires are more than 36” in the air, the hook will be disqualified. Any alcoholic beverage found or seen on any vehicle, drive or crewmember will disqualify them for that event. You can be disqualified at the tech inspection and track judges discretion. Any visible violation(s) of the rules will result in disqualification. The tech inspection committee can determine this, which is final. Track judges will enforce track rules and their decision is final. Disqualification means no points, refunds or rain checks. The tractor committee reserves the right to adjust the rules during the year. However, if a person is disqualified at the start of a class or during the class, but for any reason the sled is readjusted and the class starts over, you may pull again if you correct your rules infraction.
