Both families involved are top notch folks, know them both well. The real problem here is a couple snakes in the grass, running around behind the scenes whispering in certain folks ears revving up the whole deal. Its no surprise everyone knows who they are. They are becoming very irrelevant to Pulling even though their names are prolific in Pulling

Well tell us who the snakes are and who is becoming irrelevant. You can’t say something like that and leave us hanging!!]]> Spill the beans!!

Atleast someone put the $$ up instead of just running their mouth. Protest procedures are there for a reason & I honestly don’t think they get used near enough.

Naive fan here. But if they were protesting the drawbar, why is that a $1000 protest?

Good morning,

I want to clear air about yesterday. Yes we were protested by a competitor. They claimed we had a short hitch in. We were measured by 3 highly respected tech officials from both sides of fence. We were legal no issues!! We have no issues with be protested my issue is that there was multiple friends/ competitors that came to us telling us it was going to happen because competitor was running around trying to get whole class to go together idk thought behind it. If you’re going to protest folks keep your mouth shut just do it! 2nd issue I have is people touching our equipment without having permission. You do not touch or start measuring someone else’s property. But if anyone has questions on this please feel free to reach out to me! What a great week we are very pleased. Also thank you our awesome crew and all great people who help us.

Every Modern machine chassis is built with a modern machine drawbar, all modern machine drawbars are the same. This tractor no longer has a modern drawbar in it. (The drawbar measured shorter than a modern drawbar)
2. Since when are competitors not allowed to witness the tech procedure? No witnesses were allowed.
3.

That statement didn’t just apply to the farm show.

I thought this thread was specific to the NFMS? ... no? But since you said that your statement didn't just apply to the farm show, I guess winning the Pro Pulling League Pro Stock points in both 2021 and 2022, and finishing 2nd in the NTPA Grand National Pro Stock points in 2023 doesn't validate your comment that "they can't seem to capture that PS win"]]> Check Your Facts Pulling Forum Sun, 16 Feb 2025 06:54:24 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344271#msg-344271 Re: Brandon Simon Mod interview http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344271#msg-344271 Just Sayin’ Pulling Forum Sun, 16 Feb 2025 06:13:58 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344269#msg-344269 Re: Brandon Simon Mod interview http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344269#msg-344269

They may have the mod wins, but they can’t seem to capture that PS win and it looks like they flat gave up on trying to get a TWD win, Just Sayin’.

Diverted responsibility onto the builder.

He wasn't putting responsibility on the builder, he was making a sarcastic joke.

Not sure he was qualified for that grey area.

He was looking at drawbar length. It's not rocket science. Mike Whitt and the rest of the tech officials are pretty bright guys and I'm positive that drawbar length is not a difficult grey area.]]> Jake Morgan Pulling Forum Sun, 16 Feb 2025 04:36:35 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344266#msg-344266 Re: Whale Yeah! http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344266#msg-344266
As for Mike Whitt not knowing how to get the protest settled: I’d sure think that if someone knew enough to protest them they’d be around to make sure it got measured correctly.

Was it proper to bring it up in the winners circle?
I think it lacked class.

It’s no different than all these hooligans running around slamming the Deere crowd in general because a red pro stock won. Or no different than when the announcer would make a dig at either color. Or truck brand. Or. I could keep going but, my point is made. There obviously needs to be rivalry. That gets fans to pick a side and get in on things. That’s why Pro mod racing is so hot right now. It has personality. They aren’t reading a corporate script card like so many do now a days. Tractor pulling needs that or it’ll be some diluted, tasteless bore to watch. Much like the NHRA or nascar races are anymore.

Side note, Brandon Simon is also a pretty quiet reserved guy. So for him to say something like that during an interview on a loud speaker, that’s heartfelt. He spoke it with his chest and was living in the moment. Like anyone should do when they achieve something that special in life.]]> Nah Pulling Forum Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:59:56 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344259#msg-344259 Re: Whale Yeah! http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344259#msg-344259 IH 5488 Pulling Forum Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:55:47 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344257#msg-344257 Re: Whale Yeah! http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344257#msg-344257 I think it lacked class.]]> .02 Pulling Forum Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:14:33 -0800 http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344255#msg-344255 Re: Whale Yeah! http://www.pulloff.com/phorum/read.php?2,344240,344255#msg-344255
The Ramblin Rose team protested and they checked the drawbar and then the Simons went on to win the finals.
