No, we are not that fast, but we try. I don't think we have ever timed ourselves. So many variables. When everybody is working good together, we can run them through fairly quick. See everyone next week. Thanks Klint |

I have my camera set on a 5 minutes time before it goes into the "sleep" mood, very seldom do I have to wait for my to wakeup. When I look at the time-date stamp on my images from Gordyvlle the average time between hooks is about 4 minutes, some classes do run at that 3 minute level and some in the range of 5-6 minutes. Overall the show is one of the fastest paced shows out there. Looking forward to another great event.

They adjust the weight on the Supers and allow them to run with the pro Stocks.
Henry Everman has run out there the last couple years. Thanks, Justin |

Another question... Do you have any decent places for wheelchair seating? I was there a few years ago, and it was a pretty tight squeeze to fit between the bleachers and the VIP seating. Another couple inches would of made it a lot easier. |

Session length at Gordyville: Klint, we have a problem!!

Based on average of 4 minutes a hook (depending on sled changes, smoke machine issues, rehooks, could be longer).
I am assuming all single class finals will have the top 8 from prelims. Assuming all double class finals will have top 5 from prelims, or 10 total) Thursday: Start time- 6PM. Total hooks- 96 entries x 4 mph (minutes per hook) = 384 minutes (6 hrs 24 minutes) projected end time: 12:24 AM Friday: Start time- Noon. Total hooks- 94 entries x 4 mph = 376 minutes (6 hrs 16 minutes) projected end time: 6:16 PM Start time- 7PM. Total hooks- 96 entries x 4mph = 384 minutes (6hrs 24 minutes) projected end time: 1:24 AM Saturday: Start time- Noon. Total hooks- 91 entries x 4mph - 364 minutes (6hrs 4 minutes) projected end time: 6:04 PM Saturday: Start time- 7PM. Total hooks- 79 entries x 4mph = 316 minutes (5hrs 16 minutes) projected end time: 11:16 PM Klint, on both Friday and Saturday, assuming there are no unforeseen smoke machine or other issues (like a tractor's rear tire coming off and hitting the end of the building  ), how are you going to clear the building, secure it, get everyone back in (using a single entrance), let the crew have a break after just going over 6 hours, and get started at 7? I wouldn't be surprised if on Friday especially, the first session ends after 7, and the second session starts at 8:30 or 9 (which would mean the end time would be possibly after 3am).
I wish you and your staff luck and want for you to have a successful event, but it seems to my untrained eyes that things are going to have to go absolutely perfectly to keep the printed schedule (and we all know with pulling, NOTHING ever goes totally as planned). |

Some people don't want to wait til 8:30 or 9 at night for a pull to start, and most don't want to stay til the wee hours of the morning. If the pull is still going on after 2 am, you will be able to count the # of spectators in the stands on two hands. |

Well then, tell me who you want me to call and tell them to stay home. Tell me how you want me to run the classes. Tell me how to run this thing. I guess I have no idea. |

I've been there every yer since the start and I think its a good show. A little long but thats what I go to see ( a lot of tractors ). As long as theres 8 hours to sleep, enouph time for a good breakfast and a shower, We are happy. |

Re: Session length at Gordyville: Klint, we have a problem!!

Klint, as one who promotes a pull much smaller in scope than yours, and as you well know, you're never going to be able to make everyone happy. Yes , it's a long day for everbody involved. Yes, the sessions can run a little long. Yes, it's an opportunity to see some of the best iron in the country in the middle of winter. I can remember going to pulls back in the 70's where the pull started right after lunch, and everyone ate breakfast together the next morning before they went on their way. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your efforts to give everyone a mid-winter pulling fix. If HoosierComingOver doesn't like the way the pull is set up, he can stay home. I don't think anybody will miss him. By his count, it's a chance to see at least 456 hooks. I'm going to be there, and if I decide I don't want to stay until the session ends, I know I'm going to leave with a smile on my face, and I'll be back at the next session, and next year, hopefully as a competitor. Anybody that thinks it's easy to promote and plan a pull, whether it's the most lowly brush pull or a pull of this caliber, try it sometime. You better have a cast iron butt, because somebody is bound to chew on it before it's over. |

Klint, I made a valid point. You can respond sarcastically all you want, but nobody has disputed anything I posted. I'm not going to tell you how to run your own event since it's proven to be a successful show over the past decade, but if it were me, when planning the schedule I'd figure out how long I want my show to be, how many hooks can fit into that time, and establish a maximum # of entries in a session. If you only had 60 hooks a session (4 classes of 15), at 4 minutes a hook that would be a 4 hour show, which for 95% of people, is plenty long enough. As I said in the original post, I wish you good luck and hope it's a safe and successful event, and you sell out. |

Something you didn't factor into your equation are no shows. Several of the tractors listed will not make the show even though their best intentions were to do so, but breakage at dyno, parts not making it, etc, etc will reduce the actual numbers that pull in the event. Limiting the number of entries could devastate the showing of a class. Also if the # of entries get limited to much you will have an invitation only event which will have those not invited on here complaining that they didn't get in. Yes it can make for a long show but such is the nature of the beast. Nearly nonstop action for 3 days and a place for those who have no other shot at pulling at an indoor venue. So pack your comfy seat cushion and enjoy

This is going to be my first year there. I like the guys post were his breaks down of a rough timeline. We were figuring about the same, maybe a hair longer at night. We are going to watch pulling, too much pulling is like too much Beer, there is no such thing. You just slow up a little bit when you get feeling woozy..haha......
Only thing I'm concerned with is: When to piss and get a bit to eat? No, Noise makers. Hate to miss a tractor. Can't wait.... Thanks Justin |

Well I have been able to make three from the sunny south and it has gotten better each time. The first year whoo boy didn't even get the building cleared on saturday, got in the bed saturday morning at I don't know when but it was no longer friday; but who really cared we went to the tractor pull for tractor pulling not to go to the hotel and sleep. As for the folks worried about the night life if you stay for all the pull thursday, friday and saturday the only night life will be watching pulling. Some of you are tougher than i am and will party til the next session from the last session but I will beg off for some shut eye. |

It doesn't matter how many you count at the end, it's at the beginning that counts. Cause once they have your money, they could care less if it goes on for 24hrs. |

Moral of all this=This is the first time I have ever heard anybody complain about a tractor pull being too long, ever. |

Re: To: HoosierComingOver

Klint I have not had a chance to come to your pull yet. I live in Gallatin Mo.I'm a mini rod puller that love's any kind of tractor pulling. I can remember year's ago when pull's would last till 3 or 4 in the morning. yes it get's very long but if you are a true pulling fan it dosen't matter what time it is if you are having fun. I know serveral people that go to your pull and have a great time. I know serveral of the northwest mo puller's that will be their and wish i could be their to cheer them on and watch everyone pull. I wish you the best for your pull and i hope to be their next year.Best of luck to all the northern mo and southern iowa puller's. Kenny Jordan |

Maybe your assumptions are wrong. Perhaps it's only 3 minutes per hook. Given the 96 hooks, that would be 288 minutes or 4h 48m. Guess what? Tonight's pull ended at 10:40 pm and started about 5:50 pm. That's an elapsed time of, guess what? 4h 50m. Imagine that!
Perhaps after the many years that Klint has put on this pull, he has learned how to run it efficiently with a good number of pulls into a reasonable time period. Louisville does about half the number of hooks in the same time period. I think you owe Klint an apology. BTW, did you even bother to attend this event? |
|
Re: Session length at Gordyville: Klint, we have a problem!!
|
good grief
|
The real mathematical solution is actually much simpler. If mom and dad have your curfew set at 10:00 pm on school nights and you have a two hour drive home, you'd better be on the road before 8:00 pm if you don't want to be grounded again. Yes, you'll miss some of the session, but that's better than missing curfew if you want to use the car again next weekend. Be sure to wear clean underwear, wash behind your ears, eat your vegetables, buckle up, and drive safely. |

Done by 5:00 and that is with a problem/delay with the sled. This kind of pull is what will keep people coming back. Long drawn out pulls with a lot of delays and wasted time will lose spectators.
Only suggestion I could think of would be add more speakers so all can hear better. Otherwise, a good time. |

Re: Session length at Gordyville: Klint, we have a problem!!

we did time a couple. from clutch out to clutch out, 2 min-36 seconds! WOW! Great job by the crew to keep the show running smooth as silk. |
