Chebanse, IL..... | Most of those tractors were probably cranking at least 2-3 mph until the weight box moved up, then less. I'm not sure why a helmet would be necessary unless you happen slip on the hitch climbing up to the seat.
Most of the sanctioned organizations don't require them for the "classic" (= slower) classes. As the modifieds & pro stock tractors evolved with roll bars, then helmets were required to keep from beating your head against the roll bar/cages. |
