Action Gallery: NTPA Pulling At The NC State Fair – Soot Shooting, Dirt Throwing, Blown Craziness With A Sled

(Photos by David Whealon) – David Whealon is one of our most diverse contributors here at BangShift. We have run great photos he shot at the TUDOR road races up in Virginia, land speed coolness from the Ohio Mile in Wilmington, drag racing action from Rockingham and VMP, and lots of pulling stuff as well. Today’s pulling gallery was shot at the North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh and it features some awesome NTPA action thanks to the hard work of the United Pullers Of The Carolinas who organized the event. According to Dave, Wayne Lewis is the guy who runs the operation and he does a heck of a job announcing, keeping the show going, and keeping people entertained between the pulls.

In this gallery you’ll see some of those wild mini-modified tractors where a guy’s feet are basically on the bell housing of a blown hemi, you’ll see diesel tractors, four wheel drive trucks, and even a vintage tractor or two. This is the first of two sets of photos we’ll share from the event and we thank David as always for sending them along. His pulling photos do a great job of capturing the intensity and all out craziness that this sport provides. We have said it in virtually every pulling gallery we have ever published but if you have never been to a truck r tractor pull of this magnitude in person, you owe it to yourself to see it, even if just once. You’ll never forget what it is like to see all of this equipment taxed to its limits!

    I love pullin! The most violent mechanical display of power available. I’ve always wanted to see how an unloaded unlimited tractor with huge slicks would do at the strip.
