What happened to NTPA Region I? February 29, 2012 11:42AM
Looking through the champions section on Pulling Reference, I noticed there were champions of NTPA Region I. So what became of this region? It seems like there is an unofficial line at the Appalachian mountains that the NTPA won't cross for pulls anymore.

That's a shame since PPL doesn't have a Super Stock Diesel class. When did this happen?

Actually, ATPA came in around 1996 or 1997 and that's when the demise of NTPA Region 1 started. ATPA was a stronghold here until around 2005 when things started getting sour and for 2006 the opportunity came along to make a change to the new Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League. Payouts are good, yearend payouts are great every year and the pullers for the most part are happy. I think it was the right move for East Coast Pullers. This was also the beginning to Power Pulling Productions in Western PA. East Coast has a good Super Stock/Pro Stock class. I might bet that sometime you will see a Diesel SS class in the future for the PPL Champions Tour. Time will tell.

USA East is it's own assoc. under the direction of Rick Feicht, formally known as Full Pull Productions and is somewhat affiliated once again with NTPA I believe.

It would be nice. Watching all these old videos just made me wonder about that since you'd see guys from Ohio (Mears, Englehart/Ross, Haferd) go down into VA for Region I hooks. It was interesting to see those tractors pull somewhere you aren't used to seeing them.

Unfortunately Daddy Dave (NTPA) gave up on both GN and Regional pulling in the northeast a long time ago. Of course he or NTPA would never admit it but the evidence of eastern events held for the last 10 years (minimum) speaks for itself. Saluda is about the only exception.

The East Coast is now run under dictatorship, the pullers have no say! The modified rules are set by the good ole boy comittee. If you want to pull you just grin and bear it , or you have to drive to the Carolinas, NY,or Ohio . DMP is promoting pulls and offering different classes. Now the Dictatorship is getting scared and threatening you can not run for points. We need to go back to the old ways where we the pullers elect are leaders , vote for are rules, and see where are money goes!! Everyone complains about Daddy Dave S. running NTPA ,well we have are own Daddy Dave running the ECS. atleast with NTPA the members and committees have a say, on the ECS if you aint in the clique you have no say! Just my two cent$
every one has their own opinion and this is mine.
