CLEARFIELD – Full Pull Productions’ will return to the Clearfield County Fairgrounds on Sept. 11 at 7:00 p.m. with another super truck pulling event. Dubbed the USA-EAST TRUCK PULL FINALS, the pull is one of the last events of the 2010 season and four different season champions will be crowned during this pull in Clearfield. The pull will be sanctioned by the USA-EAST Sled Pulling Association. Trucks will be competing for well over $6000.00 in purse and added incentives during this super season-ending pull for the trucks.
This championship pull is a part of the week-end long “Big Rigs EXPO” being held on the Clearfield County Fairgrounds on Sept. 10 and 11. This EXPO will feature trucks on display as well as vendor booths and free musical entertainment on the fairgrounds. The entire EXPO is free to the public while there is a charge to view the truck pulls.
For the BIG truck lover, the “Pennsylvania Posse” semi trucks will be a part of the USA-EAST Finals Championship pulling event in Clearfield. This group of ‘Hot Stock’ semi trucks will amaze with an awesome show of power. Gerry Hairhoger from New Castle, Pennsylvania won at this event last season with his 1973 Kenworth named, “Gerry-Atricks” and went on to capture the season championship for 2009. Ken Johnson from Grampian, Pennsylvania won the Clearfield County Fair semi truck class for local area trucks in August and he is expected back to town with a very powerful V-8 Mack pulling truck to take on the open competition.
A trio of high-powered four-wheel drive truck divisions are scheduled for the USA-EAST Finals. The highlight truck class will be the modified 4×4 trucks from the ‘Run What Ya Brung’ series. This clas features huge 650 cubic inch pulling trucks on alcohol or gasoline running side-by-side with awesome twin turbo-charged diesel powered machines churning out over 1000 horsepower. This is a battle royale where the top dog will prevail.
The largest class will be the 2.6 Turbo Charger Diesel 4×4 division that will be running for valuable USA-EAST points. This class is for street licensed diesel 4×4 trucks with a turbo charger opening that is no larger than 2.6 inches in diameter. Trucks from the local area are welcome to enter this class of competition and there are no memberships required in order to pull. Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet will all be in town to try to take the championship trophy in the diesel 4×4 division.
And the best-of-the-best in Pro Street Gasoline 4×4 Trucks are coming to Clearfield for the second time this season. This class is for the ‘street truck gone BAD!’ as some very powerful engines are found here. Mike Barr from Port Matilda, Pennsylvania is the reigning champion in this class with the “Sled Wrecker” Chevrolet. Local area trucks are welcome to enter and participate in this class of competition.
