All depends on where you are. Now for me personally, I couldn't care less one way or the other, I avoid tractor pulls (and all motor sports) like the plague. Nothing against those that do like it, just not my thing.

As a former fair board member I've seen the gate receipts and when the farm stock pulls and when the 'modified' classes pull. We'd run about $2500 (500 people at $5) on farm stock night. When the trucks and 'hotter' tractors pulled gate would run $8000-$15,000 (still $5 a head). Best night was the demolition derby, gate was over $30,000. This is all gate into the pulling tracks not total fair admission (which is a seperate gate).

Like I say, I dont care one bit who wants to do what, just observing where most of the 'blue collar' folks spent their money to watch.
