Re: ky invitational November 24, 2018 01:24AM
Then all you guys that he begged to come should put your BIG BOY PANTS on and tune your tractor, read the track, hang weights according to track condition, LEARN to drive, if you guys or gals could figure that out maybe you wouldn't be scared!!! 90% of it is what i stated above !!! Like it or not, You got to be able to put what you got on the ground an use what you got--- Some pullers are very good at it some not so good, the ones that are will be competitive on any track ! Get better at your setup an your own vehicle an the 3.6 becomes less of an issue because its been beat numerous times!!!!!

So you're saying 3.6 would still be an issue? Well, at least admitting the problem is the first step!!! Maybe if the diesels didnt whine and cry and put on their "big boy pants" and actually got their power to the ground in the first place we wouldn't have this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The diesel guys will have to completely change their mentality before they become successful on a consistent basis.

I applaud the people who stay home. the 3.6 issue has done nothing but cause a rift in this class . I am building a new tractor for this class for the reason that there is a decent set of pretty fair rules that were worked out by a group looking for some affordable fun and some parity. The ones that want to upset this balance let them pull by themselves. Let's not a few ruin what has been established and is working. The class is growing while others are dying.lets put on a good show for the fans and have fun doing it

This is as simple as the dsl/alky feud will never be settled,its been going on for 30 plus yrs.it will never be settled,and a level playing field will never be reached due to constant progress in r&d and the gains made.doesnt everyone try to acquire more power ?,isnt that the goal of participating in a motorsport ?.7 times out of 10 the more powerful vehicles rise to the top.split the class,the fans will let you know which they prefer,and the diesel classes always win that battle.....

To allow for diesels to add the pipe/brace for the smoke tube. Same reason Pro Stock runs at 10,200 @ indoor pulls

Re: ky invitational November 30, 2018 11:52PM
Perhaps not, but the 200lb variance goes way back to a time before rollcages when the support structure would have had to be much more elaborate and it has just stuck. This is no unwelcome surprise for any of the competitors.

The man himself said this past feb standing in his shop having the meeting over letting the diesels run the 3.6 turbo that the weight would be 6000 lb . it was brought up by a diesel puller that he would like to have a little more weight for the indoor pulls . it was talked about and to my understanding it was going be 6000 lb , now back in sep in tn at a out door pull it gets changed once again to 6200 lb !! stuff like this is why this class stays all jacked up , Its his pull he can run it as he sees fit but got a feeling his support is going down hill fast

From the TNT website:

Quote

If you have any questions regarding these rules, please reach out to us! We value your input and cannot fix problems if we do not know we have them!

Eddie (502) 680 - 1000

Melanie (502) 219 - 0806

Jarred (859) 421 - 9920

It also states under the Light Limited Super Stock rules:

Quote

Weight for the class is 6000 lbs. for outdoor events and 6200 lbs. for indoor events.

If you don't want to pull at that weight or feel that you have been deceived, how about requesting a refund of your entry fee?

The truth is im not pulling and shouldn't give a crap but there's several pullers that supported TNT from the start thats not pulling this year good loyal pullers to TNT at one time that helped get it started If Eddie want;s his own rules let him have it and leave them alone its that simple go and be happy or stay at home we have 5 organizations that has pull's within 50 mile's of each other plenty of pulling for every body

By the way if it were up to me it would have stayed a 3x4 turbo class just like it had been since the class started The 3.4 will also be regretted mark that down and wait and see, Boo me now and I told you so will come later

It’ll be a miracle if the diesel guys are successful even with the 3.4. They already have the rules in place they need to be successful without the 3.4...... Unfortunately none have the necessary mindset to understand what they need to do.

Re: ky invitational December 25, 2018 01:23PM
Getting sick of hearing this!! I’ve been involved with this class for the last 4 years, helping and driving. I’ve met a lot of great ppl and seen a great class continue to grow but in the past year have only met 3-4 ppl who are crying over the turbo and I might add I don’t see those names on the list for this year. This class has been about as equally matched and diverse as you could ask for before the diesel turbo rule change. It all came down to the track, balance, and tuning being the equalizer which is the way it should be. Out of the many drivers, owners, and crew that I’ve met from several different states an sanctions only 3-4 complain about the turbo, all the others say leave it alone it’s as even as you can get!!! If you get your a$$ spanked go home an work on your stuff, don’t change the rules and ask someone to slow down so you can catch up. And before someone says it, No I’m not a Diesel guy, we run spark plugs!!!!

Congrats to Brian Miller on a finals win. No matter what the rules are it's hard to win in the finals. As John listed a group of 20 , I guess we all had a chance to go and pull . I look at it this way , everyone that pulls a LLSS tractor has chance to win on any given day. It does matter if you pull a alcohol or diesel. All this bickering make this class look bad. Good luck to everyone in the 2019 season.

Since an alcohol tractor still won the final class, should a 4" charger be considered for the diesels to give them some more advantage, or maybe allow them to run 2 chargers or even 640 cubes? I just want to make sure the playing field is level here and the alcohols win less than half the pulls. They've sure had their fair share over the last several years and it's time to even it out.

Re: ky invitational January 06, 2019 08:37AM
Maybe they could change the name of the class to Light Limited Alcohol/ Light Unlimited Diesel Super Stock, and just let them run whatever will fit under the hood of a tractor as far as diesel engines go. Unlimited diesel cubes, chargers, fuel, and RPMs, as long as it fits it ships... or pulls I mean Smiling
