Chelsea Fair: Truck Pull: 23 August 2014

The truck pull wraps up the final evening of the Chelsea Fair. Except for the vehicle type, it’s essentially the same as the tractor pull: four-wheeled vehicles try to post the longest pull.

The first few trucks look like normal trucks because they are normal trucks.

Seriously: these trucks drive in, pull once, and then go back home to do normal things that normal trucks do.

One truck was…not young.

Once the normal trucks are done, the decidedly not-normal trucks take over.

Trucks that are built for pulling are powerful, fast, and LOUD. They’re fun to watch, and they always draw a good crowd at the fair.

The powerful, fast, LOUD trucks are usually easy to spot.
