Attention: TDR Forum Junkies DSPA will be known as the Diesel Pullers Organization--a web site will be up soon --but here's the prelim to what we're trying---other info will be added like: points and events and etc... . feel free to comment as I need your input---chris
DIESEL PULLERS ORGANIZATION
This club is formed for the diesel sled puller in mind. Although the name implies only diesel engined vehicles, gas engined vehicles are welcome to join also. The DPO will, with the help of members, post pull locations and dates, keep points and keep members informed of events to the best of our/your ability--whether by mail, email or fax.
As this is a club in progress changes will most likely be made as time passes by. What the changes will be are unknown at this time, but we will keep an open mind to the ever growing popularity of the sport and it's members.
Rules can be found below--these are our rules and not the promoter of the event, as they may have different rules to abide by, so be prepared to make additions if necessary to satisfy the promoter's rules. You will be able to print out the rules to show to prospective promoters to lessen the burden on them and possibly give us the class or classes we would like.
Our goal is to become a recognized participant in the major sled pull events and to be treated fairly and by being organized we hope to accomplish this.
Thanks for taking the time to hear our babble and PULL ON!!!
