Thank you to the 5,000 members of the public who attended our hugely successful inaugural Tractor Pull at the Gawler Paceway on 10Nov07. We had fantastic support from our sponsors, the Tractor Pullers, the Gawler Paceway, and the Rotary Clubs of Gawler and Gawler Light in helping to raise so much money for the charity work of Rotary. It was so good - we are going to do it again! 2008 Gawler Barossa Tractor Pull at the Kapunda Paceway on Saturday 8 November 2008 |

The Gawler and Gawler Light Rotary Clubs ran the inaugural Gawler Barossa Tractor Pull at the Gawler Paceway on Saturday 10 November 2007. The event was for Modified Tractors, sanctioned by the Australian Tractor Pull Association and the competitors earned points towards the Australian Championships. This was the only ATPA sanctioned event held in South Australia in 2007, and 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 Gawler and Gawler Light Rotary Clubs 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.
