new association for scotland

A large section of the Scottish Pulling contingent has broken away from the STPA and formed the STTPA (Scottish Truck and Tractor Pulling Association). The SWTPA are very pleased to welcome the STTPA as an affiliate to both the the SWTPA and the IOPD.

The STTPA ran their inaugural Pull at Keith Country Show Park on the 18th & 19th of June and a number of South West Pullers joined them, along with 'Total Friction', the SWTPA Sledge, plus a number of guest Pullers from across the Irish Sea. We wish the STTPA well.

two new classes

The SWTPA AGM voted to create two new classes specifically aimed at significantly reducing the cost of Pulling by introducing an 'entry level' in two different categories: -

• Tractors - Sport Farm Class, based on the current Super Farm rules, with the exception of being able to run cast iron clutch and flywheel, a limit on turbo size and limited to 2,800 rpm. The turbo orifice cannot exceed 55mm however there is no limit on engine size (which must be the original unit fitted to that model) and the tractor with driver can weigh over 3.5ton. ALL other rules will be exactly the same as Super Farm.
• Trucks - Under 12.0-litre Truck Class, the idea being an older truck with a smaller engine would be cheaper to purchase than a larger one. All other rules would be the same as the standard Truck Class.
