Over the past years, we have had a sold out grandstand to watch the Truck and Tractor Pulling Contest

For the Truck classes, there’s a 6,500 lbs. stock gas only class
and a 7,500 lbs. stock gas or diesel class.

Everyone’s attention turns to the tractor classes, 4,500 lb, 5,500 lb, 7,000 lb, 9,000 lb, 12,500 lbs out of the field, 14,500 lb out of the field, and 16,500 lbs out of the field classes.
Each class is limited to 6 entries per class, which is on a first come/first pull basis.

Close to the end of the evening, all eyes and ears turn to the final pullers which are the NTPA classes for truck and tractors.  No one will or wants to leave until they have seen the super stock 4WD and Modified 2WD trucks pull, followed by Super farm and Modified Tractors pull.

Who will be the 2008 winners?  Don’t forget to bring ear plugs!

7:00 p.m.      Demolition Derby

Admission Adults, $10.00, Ages 6-12 $5.00, 5 and under free

Come early to get your wristband for the Demolition Derby Friday night. In past years we have had a sold out grandstand attendance.

Drivers from Nicollet County and surrounding counties crash into each other for the chance to be the top driver and car for Friday night event.  Unique about the Friday Night demo is the compact car class and the Powder puff class. The powder puff class consists of 15-16 women who enjoy the chance to put some damage into their cars, what a way to take out your frustrations!  They pack a lot of excitement into their heat.

There are 3 additional heats, followed by the consolation heat consisting of any driver/cars that have not placed in the top 5 and can get their cars running.  The Championship heat has the top 5 cars from each heat.

Registration for the demolition derby usually fills up fast, if you have any questions or wish to enter, contact Tony and Karen Liebl, at 507-232-3350.

Admission Adults, $10.00, Ages 6-12 $5.00, 5 and under free

 Not the same cars, maybe a few of the same drivers, but just as much if not more excitement in the grandstand and demo area for Saturday night event.  Once again, we have had a sold out grandstand with limited standing room only so make sure and get that wristband early!

Saturday night demo has the truck heat which is in addition to another powder puff heat and 3 car heats, followed by the consolation and championship heats.  The majority of drivers for both nights are from Nicollet County and are in their 20’s.  But it doesn’t take years of experience, many 17 years olds as well as the 40 year old drivers enjoy the excitement of backing into their fellow drivers and make it into the Championship heat and a chance to be the Winner.
