OSTPA Rules

This is a reminder that the following rules are in effect for
the 2009 OSTPA pulling season.

3. To allow any legal PS tractor to run gasoline. Reason: To
make the PS class more affordable to anyone who may have
had a diesel in the past and gave up because of the cost of
running a high performance diesel or for someone wanting
to get into tractor pulling at a lower cost. The rule to be
looked at every year by the PS class members and the
Executive Board to keep all in check. If any one tractor
should win first place more than 25% of the pulls in one
year, that tractor would have to move up to the SS class or
back down to fit in the PS class.

I think this is a great idea. I don't know why it hasn't been allowed for so long. I would hope people aren't afraid of the possibilty of a gas powered tractor winning. With how far Pro Stock has come in the last 15 years, what difference does it make?

Also, what's with the hokey rule of 25% wins? If a diesel wins more than 25% of the hooks, are they reviewed/asked to move classes? Seems like a double standard there, although there should be a general rule for dominance in a class regardless of fuel.

It's not a double-standard if you measure the number of tractors with a given fuel proportionately.

Are there any molines (pro-pain, fools gold, or any others) that run gas/propane or are they all alcohol burners?

Pro-pain runs propane, hence tthe name.

Notice how we changed the spelling, too? It was done to discourage any imitators. Now everyone take a moment and consider what the name would be if he ran gasoline......

Would that be A$$-Pain, or gas-pain? Think of the sponsorship potential- Preparation-H, Tucks pads, Gas-X, etc.

Fools Gold is and has always been on gasoline.

I would like to see somebody build a component WK 40 IH with a Red Diamond under the hood. How's that for variety? Grinning

This does sound good. It is always suprising to hear people say how they like to go to a pull to see both the pro pain tractor, and the fools gold tractor compete, especially in the diesel craze that pulling is currently in. Love em or hate em, they draw a crowd, and that is good for the sport. Does this gasoline rule allowance come with any fuel system restrictions? Number of carbs, injection vs. no injection, updraft only? anything like that? I am also guessing that this rule is gasoline or LPG as legal fuels, and no alcohol. Is that a correct assumption?
