Second attempt in pulloff? February 14, 2009 05:00PM
Not sure I've ever seen a second attempt allowed in a pulloff. Is this right or not? Turn Me Loose blew the stack off before 100' and shut it down. He was allowed 5 minutes to get it fixed, patched it up and rehooked. It held to about 150' then blew smoke the rest of the way. Not trying to take anything away from Luke, that tractor runs well. Your thoughts?

I've seen a second attempt in a pulloff on a few other occasions. I thought it was an excellent way to end the finals.

Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal.

The late Ron Berry blew his smoke stack off, got red flagged, and continued to pull years ago at the NFMS. Got him disqualified and if I recall correctly, banished for about 5 years before he was allowed to bring any of his three tractor back to Louisville.

It used to be in the indoor pulling rules that smoke machine or pipe malfunction were not grounds for a DQ. Meaning that if the pipe blew off you were not obligated to shut it down. But there are no rules at the NFMS so who knows. I`d bet a lot of money how that is ruled on in Lville depends greatly on who the puller is and how PO`d the committee is at that puller at the time.

I can't think of a better example of the extra back pressure put on a turbo just by simply adding more pipe, always wondered if the tractor would do better if they put a smoke pipe on that was at least 2" or even 4" larger then the pipe on the tractor? wish I was there, sounds like it was a great show!

Not stirring, just asking.

According to NTPA rules, there are two attempts allowed even in a pulloff.
