Sled pullers stop at Quincy's Farmer-Consumer Awareness Days
Miles Douglass/Columbia Basin HeraldBill Harwood drags the sled down the track as the Columbia Basin Sled Pullers take part in the Quincy Farmer-Consumer Awareness Days.
QUINCY - The Columbia Basin Sled Pullers took part in Quincy's Farmer-Consumer Awareness Days on Saturday.
The event drew competitors from as far away as Bellingham to compete in the weekend event.
Contestants lined up to pull a custom-made sled down the 300 feet pulling track.
Mark Valentine, a semi-retired farmer from Royal City built the sled and it is used by several different groups to competitively test vehicle strength, including in the antique tractor pull event that competed before the pickups took to the Quincy track.
The classes for street-legal trucks are stock-gas and stock-diesel. The stock-gas and stock-diesel classes are trucks that remain street legal without the aid of vehicular modifications.
The modified-diesel class allows minor modifications including air intake.
The heavy-modified diesel class allows for modifications to the vehicle's suspension. The unlimited-diesel class is anything goes, as long as the competing vehicle is street legal and registered. The semi-class is a street legal competitive class for semi-trucks.
The Columbia Basin Sled Pullers will be in action again Oct. 11 at the Grant County Fairgrounds.
