From Indy, 465 to I-65 South.

50 Miles south to Seymour Indiana, exit turn right on US50 for 13 miles.

Go left onto SR250 for 2. 4 miles. Stay straight go onto SR39 1. 4 miles.

Turn right SR39 1. 6 miles, Turn right again SR39 2. 2 miles.



Arrive Tampico, Indiana.

You cannot miss it, there will be about 10k people surrounding a 300' track.

The track is off to the north of the small town.

There is no stoplight in the town, very small similar to a backwoods area like Got Smoke was raised in.

This pull at Tampico is on the last weekend of the month of June and has been for as long as I can remember its a great place to pull and a great place to watch a pull. Hopefully I will be back together by this weekend and get to pull.

I have been to Tampico quite a few times and I think it is about the best pull I have ever been to. A friend of mine runs a tractor and I went with him most of the time until a couple of years ago. Another good one is Otwell which is about 10 miles south of where I live, last year there were about a dozen Dodge trucks there. Many of the owners/drivers may be TDR members, I didn't get a chance to meet any of them.

Yo Hoot,

Tampico has been on this date since the late 1950's.

So its sort of the other way around.



I have no idea what they are pulling Friday night, but I know Saturday is the Diesel trucks at the end.



It is the ATPA class that includes the likes of: Craig Severson, Mike Tomac, George Peterson, Todd Cox, etc.

You know the kind SLEDPULLER has no chance in hell of winning.

They didn't know, Hoot.

There is another one, a few minutes from the hotels, Hazlewood VFD. Friday and Saturday.

Do you have any more info on that pull.

 

[Sled Puller]

Yep, I do.

They have a mess of classes, then the two important ones:

Free admission

Friday night, 6:00 pm:

4x4 Stock gas or Diesel

4x4 OPEN Diesel guaranted money.





Saturday at 6:00 pm,Two classes of ITPA altered stock trucks whatever they are.



4x4 Stock and open Diesel trucks again



Several tractor classes, including Hot farm, and a MFWD and then the kicker, and I quote, "Totally Anything goes class", a Cadillac V-8 powered golf cart is scheduled to appear and a 90,000 pound crane carrier.



Fireworks at 10:30 Saturday.



Directions:

I-70 West of Airport to Stae Road 39 North,500 feet, make left to Hazlewood. This is not far from Plainfield, at all.



Both pulls would be great.
