I heard your tractor has to meet certain speed requirements to cross the bridge. Is that the case? I would love to do it, but another guy in my department at work has the time off. I am going to try to make it to Buckley instead this year. Brian |

| On the registration form it says your tractor must maintain a 10 mph minimum. |

| Your tractor is suppost to be able to maintain 10 mph, the question lies if the operator is able to drive the tractor 10 mph. Having done both of the bridge crossing so far, the organizer needs to police this event better. It is the world's best hurry up and wait event you have ever attended. When you see tractors at the staging area that you know can't do 10 mph, you can about guess what the crossing is like. Great event, but if someone can't keep things moving they need to be thinned from the herd and cross at the end of the line. |
