[AT] Vintage tractor pulling advice

[charlie hill]

Hi Grant,

Below is a link to a tractor puller organizations site.   I'm not sure that 
this bunch would even allow cleats but you might be able to find some useful 
information on the site.   Since your pull is a new venture for the fair 
they are probably not as organized at the OTTPA is and might  not have many 
rules at all.

You are a long way from North Carolina and rules for pulling vary widely 
between here and there I'm sure.
