The Gawler and Gawler Light Rotary Clubs ran the inaugural Gawler Barossa Tractor Pull at the Gawler Paceway on Saturday 10 November 2007. This was enormously successful with 5,000 people attending and over $65,000 raised for charity. The second event was run at the Kapunda Paceway on Saturday 8 November 2008 and this was also a big success with 3,000 people attending in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The events are for Modified Tractors, sanctioned by the Australian Tractor Pull Association and the competitors earned points towards the Australian Championships. This ATPA sanctioned event is one of the ten events held each year for the Australian Championships.
A Tractor Pull involves powerful, modified machines pulling a large, movable weight on a sled over a 100 metre graded run. As the weight moves forward, the resistance increases with the tractors roaring and bucking their way along the track until they can go no further. The tractor that pulls furthest and fastest wins the heat. Tractors vary in size from modified ride-on mowers for beginners to 2000 horsepower monsters with names such as “Enforcer”, “Outlaw” and “Rough Justice.”
Tractor pulling is an international sport with major competitions in England, Europe and America. The Rotary Club of Gawler and the Rotary Club of Gawler Light have promoted this event as a major fundraiser for local organisations and charities, and they were generously sponsored by local, State and national businesses and organisations.
