Buddy Rider Pre-Approval
Updated July 16, 2025
New buddy rider pre-approval has closed. If your seat requires changes, please email them to bridgecrossinginfo@owssotractor.com by August 1.
All seats that have never taken a buddy in the event, or have been modified in any way (including the tractor it's on), or have not been approved in five years, require a pre-approval in order to participate in the event.
This means that if you've taken a seat for a while, but it was approved before 2020, you'll need to submit pre-approval. Rules and guidelines have changed over the last five years and we want to make sure everyone's seat is safe. We understand some people may not know when their seat was approved. If that's the case, go ahead and register as you normally would. Our staff will check our records and let you know if we need pictures.
Please read the buddy rider rules carefully. Anyone that submits a form without reading the rules will be denied and will not be able to re-apply in 2025.
