slow poke race

The ones I have been in its like a drag race only you see who is the slowest. Both tractors start at the same time over a certain distance and the first one at the finish line loses.

hey thanks, what do you do, set a certian rpm and gear?

Only rule I've ever heard is that if the tractor stalls, you've lost. Otherwise, get some lemonade and get comfy. I've seen lawn mowers entered, and some tractors competing in reverse.

My local club has these. They set up a set distance and have the tractors go forward and backwards to level the playing field

Here is the rules I use for the slow race that I put on at our clubs tractor rodeo.
SLOW RACE
Length of track 50 feet and width is as wide as you can. Run as many tractors as you can at one time. The slowest tractor to cross the finish line wins. If you have run more than 1 race, slowest 3 tractors advance. Run another round if needed, and advance that top 3 for championship slow race with first 3 slowest tractors.
General Rules for Slow Race: 1) Leave starting line at same time of all other tractors. 2)Run on all cylinders. 3) No clutch slipping 4) No brake riding. 5) Keep decompression releases closed. 6) All tractors must go forward.

Fun times- try it with motorcycles. Fall down and lose is main rule, feet can't touch ground second.. R60/2 with sidecar gearing can go slooww without slipping clutch. RN

Running those 2 cylinder JD's so slow is hard on them.

Slowest tractor race tractor I ever saw was one of those old Porsche Air Cooled Diesels.Real low,low creeper gear.

We keep them under 1970. But if one showed up we would let it in. Are games are just for fun anyway.

Porsche, there is no substitute, my friend. I'm a Porsche Car collector and I'm going to add a Porsche Diesel Super to the collection one of these years... they are unbelievable machines. My girlfriend's dad restores old Case tractors and I think that he does some incredible work. I would like to restore an old Porsche Diesel Super someday like he restores the old Case. Porsche 911's were air cooled till 1999 when they switched over to the water cooled cars. I have to say that Porsche cars and now tractors are the coolest machines ever made.
