Introduction
to My Page:
My Name is Kelvin Jobling.
Known to many as jobbo.
This page was the first web
page in
My aim it to make available
any information that any person, organization or company would like to know
about our sport. The page is going through a change, it was originally in a
very basic format, now I hope to bring it up to a modern style of web page, but
aim to keep it very simple and fast loading. This is to aid people who don't
have computer experience and those who have slow connection rates.
This is the Home Page for
the Quambatook Tractor Pullers Association, who are
the Promoters of the Australian Championships, held Annually
on Easter Saturday. One time Publicity Officer for the
QTPA and Media correspondent for the Australian Tractor Pullers Association.
If there is any Publication, Radio, TV organization needing a contact for
Tractor Pulling please contact me, I will forward you onto the current people.
I have been a competitor
for over 25 years and been involved with the ATPA for around 23 years, 4 as
President.
My current aim is to
promote Tractor Pulling into new areas of
�������������������� There is some positive
action taking place in Southern Queensland.
������������������� Contact details to be
organized, but for now please contact me� .0429 015220
Other project I have
been involved with are the tractor pull demonstration at the Deni Ute Muster, We all hope this will develop into a full
tractor pull in 2006. and the
There is a need for new
workers in our sport, as we are mostly a competitor based organization, we lack
the workforce need at some pull centres. If you would like to join as an
associate member and become a part of the Tractor Pulling Fraternity, you would
be most welcome to the sport. We have seen some workers become competitors in
later years and previous competitors who have remained as workers and
officials.
I have built a mini and
super modified tractor as well as doing most of the development to the first
pro stock tractor in Australia, if you would like to build a tractor I would be
most willing to help any person who would like any help. At a later time I will
put some basic details of tractors on this site. If you would like some help
please email me and I will try to answer any questions that might arise.
The Calendar for the 2008 /
2009 season will be set at the ATPA Annual Gen Meeting, date yet to be set.
When the meeting has been held and calendar set, it will be placed on a link on
the main page. www.members.iinet.net.au/~jobbo,
The current calendar can be found there now.
Please check out the Aussie
forum, this site is listed on the main page, this
notice board allows the exchange of ideas and thought about tractor pulling.
This introduction will be
updated from time to time, any input will be welcome.
I hope to compile the
History of Tractor Pulling in Australia, this will need the help of any person
who has been involved or knows of people who can help, this will be a massive
job as after 30 years some history will already be lost. We must compile all
the information we can while we have some of the original people who know our
history.
For those who don't know
Tractor Pulling exists in WA at this time mini only, in
