Outlaw's Obsession and Richard Simpson carry the front wheels down the track 282 feet and finish 4th in the two-wheel-drive truck class. GREENWICH, N.Y. — The annual Washington County Fair welcomed the New York Tractor Pullers Association on Saturday for a two-session pulling event featuring nearly 50 competitors across five powerful divisions. Fans packed the grandstands to watch action on the dual tracks as some of the Northeast's top pullers battled for victories in the Super Stock Diesel Tractors, Limited Pro Tractors, Modified Tractors, Super Farm Tractors, and Two-Wheel Drive Trucks. The Super Stock Diesel Tractors opened the day's competition with a strong 15-tractor field. Early in the class, Jacob Blefance put Chain Reaction atop the leaderboard with an impressive 341-foot pass on the fourth hook of the afternoon. One by one, competitors attempted to chase down the mark, but Blefance remained the leader for much of the session. Late in the class, however, Robert Horton and Lil Less Patience found another level of power. With only three hooks remaining, Horton thundered down the track to 366 feet, taking over the lead by more than 20 feet and securing the class victory. On the second track, the Limited Pro Tractors brought another 15 entries to the fairgrounds. The class started with a bang as the team tractors Borderline to Heaven and Borderline Obsession immediately set the standard with passes of 313 and 315 feet. Despite numerous challengers throughout the afternoon, neither tractor was displaced from the top of the leaderboard. When the final competitor had completed their run, Jeff Dana's Borderline to Heaven stood victorious after leading the field from the very beginning. The mighty Modified Tractors were next to make their appearance, with five competitors ready to battle. John Duggan and Road Runner wasted no time making a statement, blasting down the track for a class-leading 377-foot effort. The rest of the field gave chase, but no one could match Duggan's distance. The closest challenge came from Underestimated, which reached 349 feet, leaving Duggan comfortably atop the standings and in possession of the Modified Tractor victory. The Super Farm Tractors delivered one of the afternoon's most competitive classes, featuring 10 strong entries. On the second pass of the class, Nathan Williams and Addiction put together a solid 347.96-foot run to establish the mark to beat. Several competitors came close, but the lead remained intact until Scoob Van der Weet brought 44 Special Reloaded to the starting line. Van der Weet responded with a tremendous 353-foot pass to move into first place. The very next competitor, Jacob St. Mary in 4th Generation, mounted a challenge with a 347-foot pull but settled for third. As the remaining tractors completed their runs, Van der Weet held firm to earn the Super Farm victory. The final class of the evening featured the crowd-favorite Two-Wheel Drive Trucks. Dave Sheldon and Shaggy established the initial benchmark with a 287-foot run that stood for most of the class. Competitors continued to attack the mark, but none could improve upon it until the next-to-last hook of the night. Mike Martel drove Hay Shaker to a winning distance of 294 feet, moving into the top position and hanging on through the final competitor to claim the class victory. As another successful Washington County Fair event came to a close, attention now shifts to a busy Labor Day Weekend for the NYTPA. The organization will make four stops over three days, beginning September 4 with appearances at the Montgomery County Fair and Fonda Speedway, kicking off a weekend that promises plenty more horsepower and excitement for pulling fans across New York.
