As 2011 season ends the plans for 2012 are already underway...
We would like to thank everyone who came out and pulled and those who visited to watch OGTPA Pulling.
Even with the strains of a difficult economy we feel that this year was an outstanding season.
Changes were made, some were received well and others not so well. With all that took place we still hooked an impressive number of tractors again in 2011.
In-spite of the rumblings of cheater governors and reduced protest fees, not one tractor was protested or asked to prove their equipment was legal. "Not one."
We had near record numbers of tractors at The Mantua Ox Roast Fair and hooked the youngest puller in Ox Roast history at the ripe old age of 3yrs.
2011 also brought two new events with the addition of The Trumbull County Fair and The Fall Classic at Ohio Farm Science Review.
We have watched a whole new breed of tractor emerge in the Hot Stock division and Improved Twin class.
Some changes will be needed to accomodate the less powerful tractors but we will work it out for 2012.
Just like as in years past our friends from the Ohio Mod Rods turned out in record numbers to pull with us. Look for new changes in the 2012 season to keep the Mini- Rod division growing.
Our commitment and goal for 2012 is to add more rewards for those who pull with the addition of contingencies and purse money for all classes pulling.
We will continue to provide a place for the youth pullers to pull and those in the stock or "beginners " divisions of pulling.
Seeing to it that the addition of purses and contingencies do not let the rule bending go wild. We feel that pullers deserve to have a little more for their efforts putting these fine tractors on the track for us to enjoy.
From the Staff of OGTPA,
"We thank each and everyone of you again for a wonderful season," Keep in touch with us thru the off season for updates as they happen.
