Truck owners can participate in the pull for $5 per pull. A special ABAC students-only pulling class will also be part of the night’s schedule.
Highlighting the truck and tractor pull will be ABAC’s own Altered Allis in the competition on April 12-13.

The Southern Pullers Association, Inc., was formed in the early 1990s to help organize all the local pullers who have been pulling for years under other sanctioning bodies. Some of the regular pullers have been pulling since the early 1970s and are still dedicated pullers with the Southern Pullers Association organization today.
