Rule Changes for 2024-2025
- All finals, or in classes without qualifying rounds, a full pull distance must be set prior to the start of the class. There are no floating finishes in the finals.
- Added language and specifications for Pro Stock Carb.
- A stock appearing Kohler type carburetor must be used if other than stock for the model engine being used. Stand-off pipe or ram tubes are permitted. Choke may be removed. Single carburetor only. Air restricting Venturi must be located 2.4 inches +/- .25 from the mounting surface. Venturi is not to be larger than 1.200 in diameter and must be round in shape. Air controlled by butterfly in stock position (.875) +/- .125 from the carb mounting surface. Main jet location to be 1.8 inches +/- .200 from the carb mounting surface. No slides, no injection, naturally aspirated only. Bowl should remain factory size (2.350) and appearance for Kohler type carburetors. Overall length of the carb body is not to exceed 3.500 inches.
The intent of this rule is to maintain a stock-appearing carburetor, including the fuel bowl. Billet carburetors are permitted as long as they adhere to the stock specifications outlined. Any other configuration or newly designed carburetor must be submitted to NGTPS for review and approval prior to use.
- No billet Carburetor allowed in Stock Altered.
- Updated rule that side shields may be bolted to block or frame of tractor on starter side of engine.
- Added to safety rule that tractor must be pushed onto the track. The only time the tractor can be in gear is when the tractor is hooked to the sled.
- Full copy of rules can be found >>>Here<<<.
Changes for 2023-2024
Operations (Clarification)
- Two attempts will be allowed to start sled qualifying and in the finals. The only time it’s not is during a pull-off. One attempt only in a pull-off. (This was re-worded to clarify and include two attempts in the finals. No actual operational change made as this is how it’s always been intended.)
Pro V-Twin (Clarification)
- Engines: Must be a commercially available lawn and/or garden tractor factory air-cooled engine. Only configuration accepted is V-twin type. No re-production blocks, must be OEM
Stock Altered
- The front of the engine block cannot exceed 52 inches from center of the rear axle. Front pulley and crank are allowed. (Hinkle Rule)
- REMOVED: Frames should maintain factory length, but not mandatory.
Changes made in 2022-2023 Season
Notable Rule changes for 2022-2023 Season
30 Cubic: 1000 lbs max weight.
Pro V-Twin: Pro head engines will be allowed 1050# – Hitch height will remain the same for pro head head engines at 12.25″ (This is subject to change to promote fairness)
New Class – Pro V-Twin (Heads-Up): Same rules as Pro V-Twin but all tractors will run 1050# weight and 13′ hitch height. (This is subject to change to promote fairness)
Note: Both the Pro V-Twin and Pro V-Twin Heads up will be scored as one class in the points series.
Track Operations / Safety: If the driver leaves when the red flag is still displayed, it will be cause for immediate disqualification for that class even if it’s before the 75’ mark as it’s a safety issue.
