Exactly, these competitors and more are ELIGIBLE for the precommit program. The list that Philip posted is only the top 10 (in some classes, not even that). Some of teh classes have 13 or 14 eligible. Don't expect everyone in the top 10 to sign up for the program once a secure schedule is announced. Competitor signed contracts don't have to be back for a few more days yet. Then Gregg sorts them out and makes the final determination, and sends the contract back to the competitor. THEN, it is official (and still subject to change!). JW |

If it is top ten eligible, then why only 5 in LSS ? |

They had 20 hooks and a number of LSS pullers didn't like the schedule. The number of hooks has drop to around 15 and I would expect the list to fill up very quickly.

I was wondering if someone could please explain to me what this precomitted list is all about and what are the benfits that it has for the pullers and along with the NTPA to have this precommitted list. |

If the puller is on the precmmited list and attends every GN pull for their class. Then they get their hook fees that they paid during the season back. I don't know if there is other stuff too. Jesse Post JP Pulling Productions

Okay, here goes to the best of my abilities--The NTPA precommit program is program where a contract is entered into between the puller and the NTPA. The NTPA contracts with up to 10 pullers per class for the pullers to commit to attend every GN pull that is on the schedule for their class. This guarantees the promoter up to 10 vehicles for that class. The NTPA uses this as a selling point. The puller benefits by "earning" a bonus of $100 per hook for a two hook event and $150 per hook for a one hook event. The puller also gets free class entries for the event and at some events (Tomah comes to mind) "preferred" parking. At the end of the season, if the puller fulfills his contract, he is rewarded with his "earned" attendance monies (the $100/$150). If the pullers fails to fulfill his committment, then he forfeits the "earned" bonus and it is distributed equally to the other committed pullers. The NTPA also gets some promotion and exhibition rights as spelled out in the contract. The process starts with G. Randall sending out applications to each licensed GN puller. The pullers responds that he would like to be considered. Thus--"the list". Then, the option is given to everyone on the list to sign two copies of a contract. The contracts are returned to the NTPA office. G. Randall then puts them in order according to the finishing position of the previous year (2008 in this case) until he achieves the 10 participants, signs both contract and returns a copy to the competitor and retains one for the office files. The extras are then sent "rejection" letters. The list can change before the season starts due to some unforseen circumstances on the part of the different pullers. Anyhow, that is how I understand it and I can be corrected. By the way, the latest 2009 list has 15 minis eligible, 12 FWD, 17 TWD, 13 SF, 9 SSD, 7 SSO, 5 LSS, 11 UNL, 10 SMFWD, 9 MOD, and 12 PS. So, look for the list to maybe have some surprises. A precommittment contract can be worth about $2700 for the UNL this season, $3100 for a PS, $2400 for a mini, etc., depending on the number of two hook versus one hook events and whether the event is an GN or SN. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. JW |

Thank you bandit496 for explaining it to me it deffenately helped me in understanding it. There are just a coupe question that arose from reading this and I sorry if it was mentioned in your post and I just missed it. The first one is I didn't see you mention the semis class and the reason that I was wondering was because I at pull in essex junction there was only three semis that showed up and according to your post each class has 10 that are precommitted. The other that I was wondering is with a puller precommitting to the NTPA season does that mean they are only allowed to hook at NTPA events or can still hook at a PPL or Outlaw event for example. |

An NTPA precommitted puller is still allowed to pull with other organizations.
They just signed a contract to pull at every NTPA GN event where their class is offered. If those were the only hooks they made (unlimiteds aside), they wouldn't pull very much. PPL tried that a couple years ago. Since they've not mentioned it lately, I assume their exclusive program is no longer around. |

Yep, if you are pre-committed (NTPA) then if your class is competing, you are to be there (it gets tricky sometimes, like I'm here, but broke and can't hook....) . You can run anywhere you want, just not on the days your class is scheduled. There are some exceptions that can be granted (severe breakage, death in family, etc), but these have some time limits and reporting requirements. The list I have does not show a program for Semis. They have always kinda run on their own agenda anyhow. The class does have 18 hooks scheduled, though. JW |

Re: 2009 NTPA GN Precommit list here, Brian Shramek in Unl. Mods?

I saw Brian Shramek on the list of the Unlimited Mods. What kind of engines will he run in this class?
Maybe a Double JD, or Double AGCO configuration? |

This might be a dumb question but going to ask anyways seeing that he bought the old Bad Habit tractor does that mean there a new bad habit for 2009 or is Steve Killenberg getting out of the sport and what will the name of the Shramek tractor be? |

Re: 2009 NTPA GN Precommit list here

Rumor was that it still belonged to Martin's, I would say Klingenberg has to give up some (stuff) after the Bowling Green incident or it could be that he was just tired. When Martins had the tractor didn't it have Legend motors from indy cylinder. |

This may be a stupid question, was the latest bad habit the Martin Bros. mod? Also is Brian S. campaigning 4 tractors this year. The Allis and JD super stocker, the mod, and the pro stocker? |

while I understand the curiosity, if you don't already know the story, it's best to let a sleeping dog lay. Very personal and private stuff, was all over these forums a couple years ago.
Suffice to say, I would be very surprised if you ever saw Mr. Klingenberg behind the wheel of an unlimited mod again. |

It is kind of personal for a few pullers. So this isn't the place to discuss these matters. Jesse Post JP Pulling Productions
