![]() Since the sled is becoming increasingly hard to pull, it is unlikely that the driver will get it moving again if he stops. If the driver spin the tires, they will stop moving forward. There’s a lot of finesse involved in pulling the sled, because the object is to get as much traction as possible or as long as possible. The distance the tractors can pull the sled is what determines the winner. At some point the tractor can no longer move forward. As the tractor progresses down the track with the sled in tow, the weight is moved via chains and pulleys farther forward on the sled, making it increasingly hard to pull. At first, the weight is at the back of the sled, which makes it easier to pull. To describe what a pull event entails, tractors are required to pull a sled with a very heavy weight on it.
