Tractor Pulls: Can anyone describe the process & how it works?

I am writing an article about antique tractor pulls and can not find a good description of what actually happens out there on the track. All the apropos websites have been of no help in this research. I am looking for a description of how the pulling sled, flagman, and repositioning tractor work in relation to the competing tractor.

In a tractor pull, tractors have to pull a sled with a very heavy weight on it. At first, the weight is at the back of the sled, which makes it easier to pull. As the tractor progresses down the track with the sled in tow, the weight is moved farther forward on the sled, making it increasingly hard to pull. At some point the tractor can no longer move forward. The distance the tractors can pull the sled is what determines the winner. There’s a lot of finesse involved in pulling the sled, because the object is to get as much traction as possible or as long as possible. If you spin the tires, you will stop moving forward. Since the sled is becoming increasingly hard to pull, it is unlikely that the driver will get it moving again if he stops.
