Truck Pull update…

After testing yesterday we found that arm over arm pulling of the truck is going to be too hard for the majority of competitors.

We want competitors to be able to have a fair chance with every event.

Therefore we have decided to change the event to a truck pull with harness, with a rope to pull on.

We will be using the one truck over 15m with a time limit of 75 seconds.

SO how can we manipulate the difficulty from the open ladies to the open mens?

Introducing Red tape / Blue tape.

The pulling rope will have a strip of red tape around it, 5m from the end the competitor will be grasping at the start of the event. There will also be another blue strip around the rope at 10m mark.

Open Mens and Masters Men will start the event and when their hand comes to the red tape, they will be told to drop the rope and the rest of the 15m course, they will need to keep the truck moving with leg drive. The rope will be safely moved away from the competitor and the truck by the official.

Under 90’s men will have the rope until they reach the blue tape at the 10m mark, then as above.

Open Ladies will have the rope to pull on for the full duration of the pull.

Other divisions (ladies masters, under 64 ladies) will be given the choice of trying to pull the truck or the Triton Ute.

Come the night before and go to the Bush Spectacular… ⭐️

Yes accomodation might be tricky, but it will be worth it, even if you end up camping 🏕 in a swag, but there are still AirBnBs available. So try the best to get there and you WON’T regret it.
