Tractors display their pull at Sandwich Fair

SANDWICH – Terry Blackbourn pulled more than just a tractor at the Sandwich Fair on Saturday. He also helped pull the winner into first place.

Blackbourn finished second behind the Controlled Chaos tractor at the tractor pull, which is a Grand National event. He also designed and built the engine for the winning tractor.

There were four classes in the event: super-stock alcohol, modified alcohol, pro-stock diesel and super-stock diesel, said Dave Schreier, president of the National Tractor Pull Association (NTPA).
