Wish they had replaced the pro stock Wednesday night with the diesel 4x4, that way I wouldnt have to worry about taking off work wednesday! I didnt even realize they had added pro 4x4.
Noticed a couple things: - Why is there only 2 chizek tractors listed in the light super? - Did the Karlen's not register? - Sad to see they could only come up with 9 open supers. - Where is Super Rooster? Need two sessions of light supers and a Finals! |

Where is it posted?...I can't get it on the site. It still says that it will be posted at a later date. I'm thinking it was wrong or entered early if it only said 9 Lim pros. |

For some reason it won't pull-up on my phone...worked fine on the computer. I'm hoping that they did not limit numbers in classes...no way that only 9 Limited pros applied...and if only 8 FWD applied I would not bring the class back next year but it is hard to believe that number too. It sucks to see the numbers dwindling. |

agree
|
- who would drive the third chizek tractor? (you can only drive one) - karlen should definitely be in if they applied. - where is hirt? how many go to the finals? totally agree that its time for two light super classes and no more open super. - agreed super rooster should be in too if he applied. |

I don't think that Karlens applied again this year. Hirt posted that he was taking this year off. Still not enough for 2 LSS classes and Open supers still deserve to be there. Just reduce class size down to 12 per class adding in more classes. Give pullers more of an incentive to apply(extra tickets, discounts on items, more purse money, and so on), send out applications or reminders to organizations to send out to there competitors in addition to previous pullers, move back the deadline, better advertisement, etc. |

I personally like the changes. I don't think it was lack of entries but lack of time for the shows. The sessions range from 41-49 vehicles, which is right on target with other years. I would imagine they would still want the show over by 10:30-11 at the latest. Fans wanted change and they got it this year!

I loved that they were making changes...but make it more orderly. It is not going to stop me from going but the list is kinda disappointing...I can't see how you can't field atleast 12 in a class...maybe they should open up for a second round of entries?? |

Here is a schedule that I posted last year on Miles topic of a schedule change. 48 hooks each session and less competitors than the old format with more classes being involved and finals for all the classes. I feel that it is orderly and fair...and I like it even more than I did when I posted it.
Wednesday 6:30 ($30.00 opening day special) (12)6200lbs. Two Wheel Drive--3 advance (12)9300lbs. Super Farm--6 advance (12)9500lbs. Limited Pro Stock--6 advance (12)7500lbs. Modified--6 advance Thursday 6:30 ($35.00) (12)8500lbs. Light Pro Stock--6 advance (12)7500lbs. Super Stock Diesel Trucks--6 advance (12)10200lbs. Pro Stock--4 advance (12)8000lbs. Super Stock Open--6 advance Friday 6:30 ($35.00) (12)6400lbs. Light Super Stock--6 advance (12)8200lbs. Diesel Super Stock--6 advance (12)6200lbs. Light Modified--6 advance (12)10200lbs. Pro Stock--4 advance Saturday 12:00 ($35.00) (12)6200lbs. Two Wheel Drive--3 advance (12)10200lbs. Pro Stock--4 advance (6)Light Pro Stock FINALS (6)Light Modified FINALS (6)Limited Pro Stock FINALS (6)Light Super Stock FINALS Saturday 6:30 ($40.00) (6)Modified FINALS (6)Super Farm FINALS (6)Super Stock Diesel Truck FINALS (6)Two Wheel Drive FINALS (6)Diesel Super Stock FINALS (6)Super Stock Open FINALS (12)Pro Stock FINALS As for the Light Mod Class, I up'd the weight from the 6000lbs light unlimited to 6200lbs to help include some state,regional, or outlaw modifieds to pair with NTPA Light Unlimiteds. My class lineup has a simple number of 48 hooks per session while adding variety to the show along with some finals taking place Saturday Afternoon. Plus, you could have a discount for a full set of tickets to bring the price down from $175.00 for all 5 sessions to $170.00 or $165. |

Seems like BS that they pick and choose random numbers for classes then. Seems like they are just fillers for other classes that can't get numbers I guess. Classes that have pullers that want to pull are being turned down and not rewarded. 14 and 14 in super farms. PS, LSS, and TWD are only full classes. I feel that every class should have a final too but I didn't expect to see that happen yet. |

Does anyone know why Warpath didn't apply? |

Re: NFMS List is up

shouldnt be there
|
How the heck does monica shaw get in year after year? has she EVER made it past 200 ft there? |
|
Re: NFMS List is up

Amen brother!!!! There has been no bigger crime at the farm show than Monica Shaw making the list year after year! A lot of people can argue that is or that tractor should have made it or this or that one shouldn't, but there is no one out there with a beating heart and breathing lungs that think that tractor should even be within 150 miles of Louisville let alone even be considered and chosen. On another note after seeing the very disappointing list, choosing Danny Taylor and the knight Delivery is just about as bad as Shaw |

I guess she's going to have to move a little farther away then... Franklin to Louisville is 133 Miles But seriously, do you honestly think that's the "biggest crime" of the Farm Show or are you just being hyperbolic? The way I view it, it's having less than 15 vehicles in a class. John Murray Two-time Pedal Pull World Champion Let's Go Pulling, covering the sport of pulling in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama.

I would have to say having under 15 is probably worse...but I do always wonder how that tractor finds its way into the NFMS field year after year...I'm not sure who else applies but I'm sure some that get turned down would be a better and more competitive option. Haney's JD, Everman's Overruled, Green Gambler, Red Thunder, quite a few outlaw tractors, Apparatus, Hooters Scooter.....
Off of that subject now...I was thinking about going to the Thursday session this year when I looked at the schedule and seen that they added limited pros. I was pretty excited to see that class down there but when the list was released and there are only 9 open supers and 9 limited pros...that deterred me from coming for an extra day and I know more that feel the same way I do about this. I know that most of the heavy hitters are there in the alky super class(Hirt is taking the year off) but I want to see a full class for multiple reasons. 1...I like seeing tractors that I don't always get to see. 2...I like to root for the competitive regional/state underdogs that are not always out on the national circuits. 3...It is the middle of winter and I like to watch tractors and trucks go down the track(pretty simple one there lol). There are a lot of guys that could fill those spots. I'd like to see Alcoholic Harvester, My Other Deere, The Squealler, Full Tilt, Dominator Deere, Pure Country, Sin Wagon, Hull's MMG1000, Under the Influence, and there are plenty more out there...lots of guys that could be competitive and could add brands/colors to the championship tractor pull lineup. As for limited pros...the amount of tractors that could have easily competed for a podium or win that are not in the field is a pretty high number of tractors to only have 9 of them in the class...it's crazy. I think the Farm Show lost a chance to bring in more of a crowd on Wednesday and Thursday with the numbers. Most likely I would have went if there was a full class of lim pros and atleast 12 alky supers. I'm just going Friday and both Saturday sessions again now. I will say that I am glad to see Diesel Supers on Friday now! |

Boo freakin hoo. Farm show puts the show on, it is an invitational, they can invite whoever they want. No need to bash someone because your non existent light super didn't get invited. When you put up the money and put on a show as big as the NFMS, you can invite whoever you want. |

Re: NFMS List is up

This is an open forum for anyone, not just pullers, to post their reflections on the nfms competitor list. I simply looked over the list and then posted my reflections, just like all those above me. I post exactly what I feel and think. The world needs more honest talk and less watering down of things. I was not attacking or bashing the individuals mentioned, I was posting my belief that Shaw's tractor is not one of the 15 best Lss in the country. Should they be one of the best fifteen tractors in any future years then in those years I absolutely want her in the show! |

Re: NFMS List is up

Team one
|
Where is Warpath ? Did Carlton not apply ? Or did I miss him ? Would be a shame if he did and wasn't invited. |
|
Re: NFMS List is up
|
Seeing that both Cope and Campbell's aren't on the list i'm going to assume they did not apply. Gonna miss seeing them down there they both make the finals almost every year. |

Re: NFMS List is up
|
sorry buddy
|
Nobody said they couldnt invite beauty and the beast but some people including me believe that they shouldnt invite beauty and the beast because there are much stronger tractors that get left off the list. we re entitled to our opinions there LSS Puller so Boo freakin hoo. |
