ITPA Season Kicks off in Decatur

The Illinois Tractor Pulling Association will get things started on Wednesday June 10th at the Macon County Fair in Decatur, Illinois. The joint sanctioned show with the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League will feature 9500 lb Farm Stock, 12,000 lb Farm Stock for ITPA competition and 6200lb Two Wheel Drive Trucks, 9300 lb Super Farm, and 10,000 lb Pro Stock Tractors with the PPL Midwest Regional Series. ITPA fans will be treated to a perfect blend of classes and good numbers when the power gets put the track in Decatur. The joint venture between PPL and ITPA saw great competition and number in the classes contested. Only two shows will make up the regional schedule for 2009 and they are both going to be contested this week, with the second Friday night at the Cornbelt Shrine Smoke and Noise Pull in Charleston, Illinois. The Cornbelt Shrine show was unfortunately cancelled in 2008 because of rain. The 2009 edition certainly looks to be a high power affair with the Modified tractors scheduled for competion. More detailed information about the Cornbelt Show can be found at http://www.cornbeltshriners.com/pull/index.html.

Results and a recap of Wednesday nights action will be posted on the ITPA Blog following the show.
