Nothing tops the thrilling and exciting entertainment of a mini truck and big wheel mini rod competition pulling event! It just doesn't get any better than this. It's one of the top of the line motorsports available. While garden pulling tractors and small wheel mini rods (with the 26-12.00x12 tires) are a substandard or more-or-less "fill-in" entertainment at the fairs and other events due to their low spectator attendance, pulling trucks and big wheel mini rods are the main event, and have always drawn a large gathering of spectators with virtually standing room only.
Many enthused people and future pullers are very interested in this new competition pulling association. But we still need to build a medium sized self-propelled sled. However, high prices and lack of money have slowed this down. We're still determined to somehow make this happen. We're accepting donations and looking for sponsors to help make it happen. Lots of county fairs and pulling facilities in Missouri are very interested in having us put on a show for them. If anything changes, it'll be posted in this website and I'll send you an email, if you're on our email list. Please send us an email so we can put your name on our mailing list.
Being there are none to very few medium-size (18,000± lb.) pulling sleds for sale in Missouri, temporary, we plan to possibly rent a sled for all MMTMRPA pulling events, and as our financial situation improve, we may build/construct our own medium-size self-propelled sled for use at all MMTMRPA pulling events. We thought about purchasing a medium-size pulling sled, but these are rare, especially a self-propelled one, but if we do find one, it might be dilapidated and need major repairs and/or modifications, if these repairs could be made. Therefore, the sled we plan to build will be a high-quality one that will be nice appearing and function flawlessly. It'll have a small block Chevy V8 and Cherry Bomb mufflers. We already have some of the parts to build the sled, including the Agri-Tronix digital measuring system and heavy duty electronic scales display head and load cells that weigh up to 10,000 lb. We still need to construct a large scale platform for trucks and big wheel mini rods. We may also rent our personal sled for use at various events with antique/classic pulling tractors and/or various full size stock competition pulling truck events in Missouri.
The self-propelled sled we
plan to build will be professionally engineered to have a reliable "old school"
small block Chevy V8 engine and drivetrain with glasspack mufflers and drivetrain
up front with a 4-speed weight box speed control system at the rear, with
ground-engaging grouser bars. Unlike most common "level" self-propelled sleds,
the weight box on this one will mechanically move forward on 3º slanted
frame rails to prevent from "slamming into" the bump stops when it suddenly
and violently "tops out" from high speed pulling vehicles, which can disrupt
the driver's comfort and possibly damage the drivetrain and hitch on pulling
vehicles, and then it can be pulled or rolled back by gravity or hydraulic
power. It'll also have an enclosed [excavator] cab with a steering wheel,
comfortable swivel seat, cooling fan, air conditioning,
Agri-Tronix
ATC Sled Monitor System, and all controls within easy reach for the operator.
It'll also have hydraulic foot pedal brakes for stopping power, and tandem
1 ton dually truck rear ends. It'll be for use with 3,000± lb. mini
trucks (S-10, Ford Ranger, etc.), 3,500± lb. big wheel V8 mini rods
and 3,500-8,500 lb. antique/classic farm tractors. Overall length will be
25 feet, and the total weight of the sled fully loaded with weights will
be approximately 18,000 lb.

A new exciting motorsport pulling
association/club is soon to start up in Missouri! It's named the Missouri
Mini Truck & Mini Rod Pullers Association (MMTMRPA). It'll be a
member/puller-owned and operated, and will be the only pulling association
in central Missouri with just classes of mini trucks and big wheel mini rods
(with the 18.4-16.1 tires). The MMTMRPA will be operated honorably and
professionally, like the NTPA and other long-established professional truck
and tractor pulling associations, and will be open to all mature, hard-working
and responsible adults who wish to share pulling fun, education enthusiasm
and public entertainment with other adults alike.
The MMTMRPA pulling truck classes comprise of mini-size pickup trucks with the traditional automotive truck cab and cargo bed, chassis/frame, driveline, rear differential for the two-wheel-drive classes with the 26-12.00x12 bar, lug or turf tread pulling tires, and front and rear differentials for the four-wheel-drive class and with the 26-12.00x12 bar, lug or turf tread pulling tires, and the long-established two-wheel-drive Pro-Street mini pulling truck class with the 31x10.50x15 D.O.T. tires. Go here for the MMTMRPA Official Sanctioning Classes and Rules/Regulations.
Competition mini pulling trucks and big wheel mini rods have always been in big demand and are sought after by many sponsors of county fairs and pulling event facilities everywhere. It's a well-known fact they have always (and may always will) attract a huge and fascinated public spectator at all pulling events. These type of pulling vehicles are a real crowd pleaser due to the fact that most people can relate to trucks (and other motorsport vehicles with an automotive engine) simply because many of them own and drive a truck or a vehicle with an automotive engine. Plus, truck pullers and mini rod pullers can compete at a lot more pulling facilities with a huge gathering of spectators watching. And with mini trucks and big wheel mini rods, the MMTMRPA will undoubtedly acquire a lot of pulling events in Missouri because these type of pulling vehicles are proven to be huge money-makers for the fairs. (Not exaggerating, just stating a well-known fact.)

When the time comes, the MMTMRPA rules
will be discussed and voted-in by concerned and interested pullers who attend
the official MMTMRPA meeting, which will be determined at a later date. Meeting
will be open to the public. Pullers
of other mini truck and big wheel mini rod pulling associations/clubs are
always welcome to attend the MMTMRPA meetings to voice their opinions, vote
on the rules and compete at all MMTMRPA pulling events. And to help
promote this type of motorsport, local vendors of mini pulling truck and
big wheel mini rod parts and products are always welcome to set up a table
to sell, swap or trade their products at all MMTMRPA pulling events at no
charge by the MMTMRPA. Please contact us if you're interested in participating
with the MMTMRPA at future events. Your name and contact information will
be placed on our mailing list. Thinking in ways of using the greatest gift
this country has to offer: free enterprise, competition, the American way!
