1) Focus on being quick and explosive (cleans, and work on speed for your lifts). Also, focus on front squats, back squats, deadlifts (variations: 18" pulls, trap bar, straight bar, and hammer strength deadlift machine if you have one). A lot of it comes down to technique and getting used to the implements. A tire is tricky if you haven't flipped it before, but a session or two with one should get you used to driving into the tire rather than DLing it.
Is there no log press?
2) Is it a NAS sanctioned contest? or just a local one? You're probably going to be looking for up and down commands on the deadlift, and MAYBE you can use a deadlift suit...
3) PLing builds a base, but as far as movement lifts (yoke, farmers, carries, drags, etc), you really need to work with the implements. It's way different walking/running with 600lbs in just a belt than it is squatting it in multi ply gear.
