Islip Terrace is the final State record holder for combination since the event was retired from the "big eight events" in normal tournaments.
The ladder events seem to be another event long since gone called "dummy", the truck and people race to the arch from the B ladder line, members climb up and the last man receives the "dummy" from the arch and gets to "slide the rails" and carry the "dummy" across the line to stop the clock.
These events still show up at the Islip Town Tournament every couple of years along with motorized replacement, etc.. The Islip Town Tournament is really an historical event in itself.
