To add to this,basically the meeting will introduce the bylaws,what the club has in mind as far as rules that co-inside with whats going in in P.A.,N.Y.,and bordering states.This meeting will have a membership sign up where you pay your dues of $100 for a puller membership,$45 for associate membership.Basically,associate member has no voting rights as far as competition rules but can vote on all else.So that being said,please show up,sign up and lets get this pulling league started. |

I will not be able to make the meeting, but 540 ci rules out the 6030's that were there in the fall, and i believe there is a third that may have interest. I understand you wanting to have a level playing field, but with tractors in this area the hotfarm/altered farm are all over the map as far as setups go. My vote, no cube limit, 3x3 turbo, no rpm limit, |

i believe thats pretty much super farm . from what i seen is make i set of rule 504 or 540 or its goin to get out of control . make a set of realistic rules and they will come . your idea 6030 has been tried and doesnt work. sorry just because you are that big doesnt mean anthing for a club that level yeou need smaller cid to get the numbers. ask wny guys . just my 2 cents |

And to add to the last post,the club will not start altering rules to fit "what has been done in the past".The true reason for this club being started is to, #1, Get away from what has been done in the past.We want to get away from being just another brush pull.The only way to rise to the next ranks as a competitive league is to conform to what other clubs, I.E. WNYProFarm,are doing.They seem to have it together club wise and are pretty successful.And wouldnt it be nice to look at a schedule for pulling in N.Y.S. and pick as may as you want to go to with out any hassle about your set up.I dont care who you are,from workstock gas all the way up to a pro farm tractor,you will be able to pull across the state with one setup and tune that set up to get the win.Just my thoughts.

It doesnt matter how many cubes you run you can still only stuff just so much air in and out of a 3x3 charger. There are alot of tractors across the north country that are above 540 cubes. Your already at a disadvantage with it being a new club, second disadvantage is you are at one location all the time, and most people with tractors that would go to these pulls have a schedule they run. I run the same pulls that the 6030 runs and its pretty much every weekend all summer long. Its been talked about to use western ny pro farm rules but those guys already run a full schedule too. There are a bunch of ih 640s around and a hand full of 570s and a few big small block jds. There are plenty of 466s around that run competitive with the big cube motors. And seriously its not like its ntpa, were all out pulling to have fun and like it or not those 6030s draw the crowd in. |

A valid pt. about the 3x3, but if you wanna be like "superfarm" with-out restriction??? Whats the pt. Sorry but a 800 cid with a3x3 is still gonna out torque everybody else.The problem comes in that if you want it to grow you have to be alot more realistic and fair.You guys could run a 6500lb 410 cid 2.6 turbo; and a 9500lb. 505cid 3x3turbo with intercoolers; and a 12,500 ( or 10500)open cid 3x3 turbo no intercooler ,and if you limit 3x3s to gt 42 s that will level the playing fields and the 6500&9500 and anybody running the gt42 at 640cid or less could pull with either group. Would make a class foreveryone wouldnt it. Just a thought. |

Open gas follow ppl. RWYB 8300lb,DOT tires gas and diesel.No oxygen extenders.Open gas pay out is $400,$300,$200 as long as there are 7-8 trucks.RWYB payout $600,$450,$300 1,2,3.First pull is may 20th at Fonda. We will have a total of 6 hooks starting on the 20th and the 2nd Sunday of each month. |

So your payout for a PPL Mod FWD is $400, and your payout for a street tire diesel pickup is $600, that makes a lot of sense... So the guys that run in the mod FWD class can run in the RWYB class, but need to put smaller tires on? |

Also, which PPL rules are going to be used? The ones that are used on th east coast and in NY, or the championship tour rules? |

East coast and N.Y. Now,it seems as if you have an issue already.There has been no interest, thus far, about the mod gas class.We have no problem paying what it is worth for you guys to hook,and we want you to show up,but not with 3 and 4 trucks showing up for that money.And as for the RWYB class being more of a purse for "the we widdle diesel trucks with street tires", there is more of an interest with those guys in that class, and i think it will be more of a competitive class between the gas and diesel than you think. So,please by all means,come to a meeting,call me or the class rep,come support the club.Thats what its all about.We want that class to come put on a show. |

How many vehicals do you really expect to come from 200-250 miles away for a $900 total purse? You never really answered my question, If I put DOT tires on can I run the RWYB class? Why not have a real RWYB class and just put a weight limit and a hitch height limit (much easier to enforce)? Is there any tire size limit? And for the record, your we widdle diesel trucks aren't gonna look so go when I throw some weight on and hook with them mark my words... |

Re: pulling league being formed

Why only Gas & Diesel and not alcohol motors ??? Mite get a few more mod trucks interested, Afterall it is a RWYB class is it not??? Here is another thought. A 6500 lbs. mod truck with bar tires is very competitive agenst a 8000 lbs. Diesel on street tires. |

OMG, look guys you all better wake up! This is a group who are just starting and already everybody wants this or that. Tom stick to your guns and dont get to spread out with your classes.(5 classes of trucks is a plenty) I do agree about the purse structure- needs to be spread out a couple more places if you want to keep 10 guys coming to every event. The #$$ ache of being the one trying to make something happen!!!Good luck. |
