I don't know all the tractor pulling rules, but if it were up to me, a
person who refused to stop ought to be disqualified and banned from future
pulls at that track.

So many projects.  So little time.

I have seen them higher Luke.  On a couple of occasions I've seen them 
in the air probably 5 ft, the tractor stops pulling the sled and the 
driver pushes in the clutch.  Bang, the front end hits the ground and it 
breaks it out from under the tractor.  In Louisville several years ago 
at the National Championship Pull, I saw a guy who wouldn't stop.  The 
front end kept rising until it finally flipped backwards.   Luckily he 
survived but was seriously injured.
