Crossing

As we all know putting on such an event takes co-operation
from everyone involved. The Mackinac Bridge Authority has to be commended
and thanked for letting us cross the Mighty Mac in what is certain to be a
great event for all those involved. No one likes rules but in any event there
has to be at least a few.

Rules & Regulations
Term Definitions
As of today, Sunday, January 10, 2010
Please, read carefully.
Your antique tractor must be able to maintain a minimum speed of 10
MPH.
This rule may change but at this time this is the required minimum
tractor speed.
1. Alcohol: There will be a Zero Tolerance for
alcohol before, during or after the bridge crossing through St. Ignace.
Wait until your tractor is parked at the Casino to celebrate. Don't drink and
ride and don't drink and drive. No alcohol of any kind will be tolerated.
2. Model Year: Tractors built 1970 and before, are the only
tractors allowed in the parade across the bridge. Some special series of
tractors may be allowed. You will need to check with us to be
sure. Just e-mail bobscorner@owossotractorparts.com
for special series participation.
3. Age Limit: No one under 18 years of age will be allowed
to drive a tractor across the bridge.
4. Tractor
with Pneumatic tires only. Sorry no
steel wheels or spades, spikes, grouser pads, crawler tracks. Also, no steel
wheel tractors with solid rubber pads or solid tread. No
spike wheels either. You already knew that I hope. Read further, you can still
cross but it will have to be on a trailer in the parade.
5. Trucks and Pickup Trucks hauling trailers with equipment can
be in the parade if you decide to haul your load across instead of
driving. This is meant for people who want to show off their crawlers or
tractors with steel wheels but won't or can't for obvious reasons. No empty
trucks in the parade.
6. Slow moving vehicle signs will not be required as long
as you are in the parade.
7. Weather issues were addressed and it was decided that
the parade will go on rain or shine so watch the weather before you
leave. The only thing that would stop the parade is high winds in excess
of 35 mph. If the winds are over 35 MPH the show will be called off and
there will NOT be another time to cross. There is a possibility, though remote
as it may seem, that we may not be able to cross at all and you need to be
aware of this now. Remember safety first.
8. Flags OK but they must be put in line with your
tractor, not side by side. We do not want them to obstruct the view of
the road ahead of you and others behind you.
9. People movers: No.
Tractors allowed to drive on the bridge will not be allowed to tow wagons or
trailers with people on them during this event.
10. Extra Rider : No. Only
the drive may ride on the tractor.
11. Trailer Signs: Clubs with trailer signs with their club name can be
towed behind a tractor Just no people on
the trailer or wagon being towed.
12. Tractor signs on tractors: Your club signs may be bolted to
your tractor as long as they do not obstruct the view of yourself or other
drivers. This will be strictly enforced because of safety.
13. Floats will not be allowed.
14. Implements on tractors or trailer:
Fine as long as they are secured by your hitch. Implements on a trailer being
hauled by your truck are fine.
Fire
Extinguishers:
All clubs during the event will be required to carry at least but not limited
to one (1) of the Type A B C dry type fire extinguisher in their group of
tractors. Larger clubs with more that
20 tractors will be required to carry a minimum of two (2) of the Type A B C
dry type fire extinguishers in their group of tractors. Your club is not
limited to the number of fire extinguishers you can bring. Make sure your
fire extinguisher is strapped to your tractor properly so it doesn't fall off
during the parade but yet easy to get to in case it is needed.
Tow Straps:
All tractors will be required to carry a suitable tow strap or tow chain in
case of a breakdown of your equipment. If your tractor breaks down during
the parade in Mackinaw city and it can’t be fixed before the actual bridge
crossing you will not be allowed to be towed across the bridge. If during
the parade on the Mackinaw city side your tractor does break down, you can
still cross the bridge if you get it fixed before the actual bridge crossing
event is over, even though you may be out of line. You can rejoin the
parade or your club just before the bridge crossing. Tractors will be
parked just before the bridge crossing waiting for a
11:00am Mackinac Bridge starting time.
We reserve the right to adjust the time of the actual bridge crossing.
