"Welcome back, Florida!", exclaimed Gregg Randall, the NTPA’s Executive Director of its return to citrus country. I'm proud to have been a part of bringing Mid-Florida and NTPA together." "He and his track crew and support staff have already shown their professionalism. "I've been fortunate to get to know Rodney, and I've gotten to watch his operation firsthand from my location in the announcer's booth," said Richwine. Larry Richwine, NTPA's Tech Services Director, has been the announcer for Mid-Florida's circuit for several winters and facilitated the union.
The most recent sanctioned events to be staged in the state were Grand National invitationals held in Naples and Milton in March 1995.īut the long-dormant relationship with NTPA has been re-energized recently, as a few of the Association's regular northern competitors made trips in the off-season to perform in front of enthusiastic southern crowds. By the late 1970s, a distinct "Southern circuit" of championship events had developed in Florida and neighboring Georgia. The NTPA’s history of pulling in Florida dates to the Lake County Fairgrounds in Eustis in February 1972. "Ocala and Clay County will be for sure NTPA Regional National pulls, and we're working on two more." "We've already got two committed," Swift revealed of the MFTPA's immediate actions. "I want to take to the next level and get it as big as we can go." In addition to the Ocala native Swift, the slate of officers will include Brian Capparelli of Plant City as Vice President. "There's not a finer sport," began Rodney Swift, MFTPA President. Organizers voted to claim the NTPA state charter, whereupon World Pulling International recognized the group as the accredited representative of the state's resident competitors at its regular April business meeting. Headquartered in Ocala, Mid-Florida will embark on a sanctioning partnership with the NTPA in 2022.
The NTPA is the world's longest-running and most-respected sanctioning organization for premier-level pulling and will present over 70 national events in 2021 featuring custom-built farm tractors, pickup trucks, and dragster modifieds. Top finishers earn prize money and points toward the pursuit of national championships. In truck and tractor pulling, competition vehicles of like construction take turns dragging a 20-ton weight transfer sled along a straight, dirt track to reach the greatest distance. With this addition, established MFTPA events in Ocala and Green Cove Springs are expected to become NTPA national events next January and April, respectively.
