Keystone Nationals sponsored by Forrester New Holland Equipment held every year for over 15 years raising funds for the FFA - giving back to the community that the sport of pulling came from in the past. This is a 3 day event showing sled pulling with tractors and trucks in a in-door arena under a huge show room where locals can view the tractors and trucks before they pull everyday.
It is a great event attended by competitors and enthusiasts from 6 states and Canada. There is a vendor section which is where DIESEL Motorsports setup and talked to people. DIESEL Motorsports also hosted the HOT WorkStock class along with Hassler Diesel for the first time at the event. These HOT WorkStock trucks are licensed street trucks that have all modifications done to them so they are high horsepower trucks.
This is a family event with all ages attending at the Pennsylvania Farm Complex in Harrisburg Pennsylvania which is the capital of the state. A very large complex near downtown Harrisburg so you get to see the historic city along with the famous Civil War Museum - one of the best to see in the country.
The horsepower on these tractors are un-believable and they put on quite the show for the attendees. Our diesel trucks put on a great show with two classes a 8000 lb diesel unlimited class and our HOT WorkStock class.
The finals were held on Saturday with a afternoon and evening session combining over 160 hooks for the finals. Pull-offs were done on Thursday and Friday in order to get to Saturday. This is a grass-roots event that attracts rural people for rural entrainment and farmers who like to see tractors and trucks taken to the limits of power.
Also early Saturday the kids got to take part with a kid-peddle tractor competition pulling a metal plate on a track just like the big guys. Involving the entire family brigs the sport up from the youth to the experienced competitors.
DIESEL Motorsports has sponsored this event for many years and now participated with a class of diesel trucks, it was a lot of fun! We got to see a lot of rural people and passed out a lot of information for our future events and for our sponsor's products.
