Thank you to the 3,000 members of
the public who attended our hugely successful Tractor Pull at the
Kapunda Paceway on 8Nov08. We had fantastic support from our
sponsors and Tractor Pullers in helping to raise so much money for the charity work
of Rotary.
It was so good -

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 Clubs of Gawler, Gawler Light,
and Kapunda 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.
Entry into the Ute
Muster is through the main gate between 9:00AM and 12:00PM. Judging
commences at 12:00PM.
Competition registration

A ute parade around the
track will occur at approx. 5:30PM for any utes wishing to participate.
THE
UTE MUSTER SITE IS A DRY AREA, NO ESKIES ARE ALLOWED.
Vehicles will be searched at the gate, any eskies will be confiscated by
security and can be picked up after the event.
