I was reading the post below about ATV Pulling, and it reminds me to tell you guys what happend with weekend. We had a fair up here in VT and they had an ATV Pull there. Unfortunatly I didn't get to go, but a good friend of mine got to pull in the competition. He goes to High School in the same town as a fair, and the school allowed him to use the Forestry Class' Xplorer 300 in the pull. He didn't have high expectations, but thought it would be fun...after all, it wasn't his four wheeler so he didn't have to worry if he broke something. There were four classes that you could pull in...2 wheel drive light, 2 wheel drive heavy, 4 wheel drive light, and 4 wheel drive heavy. The weight limits for the classes were 900lbs. for light, and 1300lbs. for the heavy. Obviously by those numbers, they allowed people to use sand bags and such to weigh the quads down. There was also no limit as to the mods, or tires on the quads. My friend loaded up the back of the Xplorer to bring it to a whopping 890lbs. (not sure if they count rider weight or not). He entered both the 2 wheel drive light, and 4 wheel drive light classes. Everybody lined up before the event started and he got a ton of jokes and laughs because he was on a little 300 competing with 600 grizzly's and 500 arctic cats. Anyway, he took all the jokes and shoved them right back in there faces when he got second place in the two wheel drive class. Remember, he is pulling againts quads twice his size! The only guy that beat him was a brand new Sportsman H.O. . He didn't do quite as good in the 4x4 class, but he still took 5th which isn't bad. Well, I just wanted to share this story with you guys. I was suprised when he told me about it. Catch ya later.
