8 Days of Pulling, where should I go?

I have been thinking about this trip for a few years and am looking for some recommendations. Obviously with Covid right now, next year’s pulls are up in the air but I’m still looking for ideas. Here’s my plan:
Every summer I take vacation the last week of July. On my bucket list is to travel the Midwest for that week watching tractor pulling. The thought is to take a camper with some buddies and drive during the day/stop for groceries/supplies then park in the pits watch the pull, and either sleep overnight at the pull or get down the road a bit and find a place to sleep. I would plan to leave Friday night or Saturday morning of the weekend before the last week of July. I am located in southwest Ohio but am open to getting out to Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan or wherever makes sense to see some new iron. There are a couple pulls that I already have picked out on my list. (Great shows that I definitely would go to again). I’m open to any sanctioning body, or even brush/farmstock pulls. I will use this years dates for reference: Updating my list in red Sat 7/25: Nashville IL (ITPA) or Fairfield IL (PPL) (my wife's family is from Murphysboro/Ava IL area so I could meet up with them for this pull Sun 7/26: Mon 7/27: Waterloo IL (ITPA) I'll keep this as an option, although I'd like to get out farther by Monday, thinking N. Missouri/ E. Iowa if it makes sense Tues 7/28: Thinking maybe somewhere S. Wisconsin or N. Illinois Wed 7/29: May have to be a travel day to be at Elkhart for 8am start time Thurs 7/30: Elkhart County Indiana Fri 7/31: Fort Recovery Ohio Sat 8/1: Fort Recovery Ohio What pulls should I add to my list? The whole thought is travel the Midwest, see some beautiful countryside, meet some new people, and enjoy some good pulling! Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 07/22/2020 03:11AM by Stretch. |

Saturday, July 25th you should consider coming to Nashville, IL. The ITPA is having an event and will be paying $2,000 to win for both the Pro Stocks and 4.1s. |

I’m surprised to hear that. I figured there would be plenty of small time county fairs going on with local guys pulling. I’ll keep digging and see what I come up with. Thanks for the info so far! |
