Jeff:
I have particapated in slow races at severall shows in Indiana. The rules differ for each place. Some places you can do any thing that can be done from the drivers seat. Such as choke , ride the brakes and clutch, shut down the fuel on diesels, Shift pto in and out if you can shift on the go. One thing you can not do is stop and shift gears. Once your wheels stop you are out of the race. One place I ran you did not even have to cross the finish line as long as your competitor was already across. Others you are limited. The distance varys depending on the amount of room you have. Anywhere from 50 to 150 feet. The greater distance you have the better chance you have of some not making it all the way. I have seen some get right to the finish line and kill the engine. Once you set your rules stick to them. You might even get some small foreign tractors with a very slow creeper gear in them . They and crawlers should not be allowed in farm tractor classes. And the other thing I think a tractor should have to cross the finish line in order to be declared the winner. I have seen to many die right at the finish line.
