TIFTON —
Truck and tractor pulling is back in Tifton! The Fall edition of the Tifton Truck and Tractor Pull rolls into town on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 21 and 22 at the American Legion Fairgrounds.
Sponsored by the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League and the Southern Pullers Association, truck and tractor pullers from all across the Southeast will compete for Southern Pullers Association Championship points and prize money.
“New this year is a special class of 8,500-pound Light Pro Stock tractors. These tractors are more powerful and faster than the Super Farm Tractors. That class will be a crowd pleaser,” states Tyron Spearman, coordinator of the Pull. “Look for the points standing and competition schedule on the Internet at www.tpuller.com.”
Competitive classes will also include the 5,400-pound 2-Wheel Drive Pro-Street Trucks, the 5,200- pound 2-wheel Drive Modifieds, the 6,200 pound 2- wheel drive Super Modified with Blowers, the 6,200-pound 4-wheel drive Modified Trucks plus the 8,000-pound Super Farm Tractors. Spearman said due to safety issues, the Southern Pullers Association has discontinued the amateur class.
“Tifton and South Georgia really enjoys the family friendly entertainment that truck and tractor pulling offers,” states Angela Moore, assistant coordinator.
The Tifton Truck and Tractor Pull is coordinated by the Ag Equipment Technology Club at ABAC with proceeds going to their pulling tractors, Altered Allis and Cracker Jack, as well as club activities. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children under the age of 10.
Gates open at 5 pm and the pull starts at 7 pm on Friday and Saturday, September 21 and 22. The pull track is one mile east of Downtown Tifton on Highway 82 at the American Legion Fairgrounds. Concessions are available.

May 21 Column – George F. Will
Leaving aside the seriousness of lawlessness, and the corruption of our civic culture by the professionally pious, this past week has been amusing. There was the spectacle of advocates of an ever-larger regulatory government expressing shock about such government's large capacity for misbehavior. And, entertainingly, the answer to the question "Will Barack Obama's scandals derail his second-term agenda?" was a question: What agenda?
