In 1975, the fair board signed a contract with the Ontario Tractor Pulling Association to hold the first modified tractors pull. Because many events were organized throughout Quebec and rules differed from one place to another, a group of amateurs got together and established the basis of what is now the ASTTQ in the fall of 1978. In December 1978, the ASTTQ became the only structured organization of tractor pulling in Quebec.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline;\">Primary goals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 8pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">The primary goals of the ASTTQ were to lay out a set of rules that would make the competitions fair and safe for everybody. We then went on to build a sled that would be adapted for modified vehicles, which were becoming more and more popular. To determine the season&#8217;s champion from each category, a circuit was established along with a point system.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline;\">From farm tractors to semi trucks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 8pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">In its first year of operation, the ASTTQ sponsored 16 competitions throughout Quebec. Although the majority of pulling vehicles consisted of farm tractors and street 4X4&#8217;s, there were also a few modified tractors. Today, the original stock tractors classes have been replaced with classes with a bit more action&#8230; The modified 4X4 trucks appeared in 1981, the pro stock then super stock class in 1982, the modified minis in 1985, the two wheel drive trucks in 1991, and finally the semi trucks in 1999.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline;\">Transformations done on the sled<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 8pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial Black; font-size: 12pt;\">The club&#8217;s equipments also have undergone drastic transformations since the beginning. The sled was completely transformed to make it self-propelled and more efficient. In the spring of 1991, a new mini sled was built in order to fulfill the requirements of minis getting more and more powerful. And in the winter of 2004-2005, the big sled had been modified once again to include a diesel engine, an enclosed cab for the operator, and mostly to assure a top quality competition with the ever improving pulling vehicles. And finally in 2012, the big sled has been sold to make room for an Ironman sled which is the standard in the Grand-National type competitions.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline;\">Mini modified tractors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">Mini modified use automotive-type engine(s), with 2 valves and 1 operating spark plug per cylinder, cast iron or aluminum.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The vehicle\u2019s dimensions are limited to 6 feet wide and 8 feet from the center of the rear wheels to the from of the vehicle.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The weight of the class is 2050 lbs.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The tire\u2019s rim diameter is limited to 16.1\u201d.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">Maximum limitations: &nbsp;<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">Maximum of 575 c.i., naturally aspirated.<\/span> \t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">1 small block blown engine, maximum of 380 c.i.<br \/> &#8211; Supercharger limited to 6-71 with 18% overdride, or 8-71 with 10% overdride.<br \/>&#8211; Turbocharger limited to a single stage.<br \/> &#8211; Retrofit type, high Helix or modified configurations of superchargers are not allowed.<\/span> \t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: underline;\">4X4 modified trucks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 8pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The vehicles in this class must have 4 wheel drive and weight a maximum of 6200 lbs.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The vehicle must have a hood, grill and fenders in place as intended by the manufacturer.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The body style must be or have been available from a dealer as a mass produced vehicle and it must maintain the original appearance.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\">The frame may be different than the make and model of the body.
