the wording in the official rule book PDF always takes priority.
Questions? Talk with a SPA Tech Official
We'd rather answer your questions ahead of time than turn you away at the scales.
- At an event: Stop by registration or the tech area and ask for a SPA tech official.
- On Facebook: Message the Southern Pullers Association page with your class and questions.
- Before you build: Send pictures, measurements, or ideas so we can help you pick the right class.
Do I have to bring my vehicle to a pull before I know where it fits?
No. You can reach out ahead of time, share photos and specs, and we'll help you understand which
class is the best match before you ever hook to the sled.
What happens if my vehicle doesn't meet the rules the first time?
Tech officials will explain what needs to be changed. Sometimes it's a small fix (hitch height, weight,
safety equipment). The rule book lays out what is required for your class.
