South Coast Truck/Tractor Nationals
Palm Beach International Raceway, Jupiter Florida
Friday Evening & Saturday February 26/27th
What a beautiful time of the year for Florida that has warm days and cool evenings with low humidity. It made for a perfect day to start the event with sled pulling for the first time in southern Florida for over 10 years.
Friday evening was a full schedule of pulling with tractors and trucks in all different sizes and configurations including multiple engine rails. The crowd was excited and provided a great cheering section for our competitors from up north. Over 9 classes and exhibition pulls that provided over 4 hours of entertainment! The winners are listed below, many pulling for the first time in Florida.
Saturday was a full day with open Test-N-Tune on the drag strip during noon hours along with the Mothers Polishes Show-N-Shine with judging around 3:30. In the other arena dirt drags were getting started at around 3:00 o’clock with three classes of Trucks 100-500 HP , Trucks 600-1000 HP and Nitrous Alcohol 2WD trucks that put on quite the show for the spectators. Many local trucks took the opportunity to run down the track for the first time in four years since they had run dirt drags there. We saw a lot of dirt flying in all directions including our flag girl who got covered with dirt.
The evening show was once again sled pulling with some of the biggest names in pulling from the NE/Midwest areas of the country who traveled south to get warm and continue pulling! The 4 hour show was 9 pulling classes and some exhibition vehicles that ranged from 500 hp to 4500 hp vehicles. The Saturday crowd was quite a bit bigger than Friday so their friends must have told them to come and watch this amazing show from 6-10pm! PBIR was a great host for the show and provided quite a bit of refreshments and food choices for our enthusiasts.
It was a blast to put on this show and it is not too many places I go where the local Fish & Game officers ask me to announce that to refrain from feeding the local gators people food during the show!
