I will post the Silver Series when it becomes available. What do you find interesting from the list. What I noticed is where are the Long's two wheel drive trucks, the Big Bad Dodge SSD4x4, Maximus Prime I, and the Slagh's third mini. Also, the numbers in both Super Stock classes look great, but the Pro Stock numbers that pre committed seems a bit low. Otherwise, lots of new names on the list and can't wait for the season to get underway!

Thurston Pulling	I agree the ULSS numbers are great and also the pro stocks do seem a little less than usual. Very interesting to see that the Sheltons are having a second mod out along with the the Longs I wonder if one of them bought Wayne Bunnage’s mod. Overall looks like a great list pullers Reply Quote

Didn't realize they were up to 3 tractors now. The logistics still seem pretty daunting though. That's a lot of hooks. Blackbourn's will also have to decide which one to focus on due to overlap as well if I'm not mistaken. Haven't studied the schedule's that much this year, but I think that last year the only class that could get away with hitting all the pulls for both sanctions was the LSS.

Pretty sure they mean MAC Daddy and MAC Nasty because they have been on the pre commit list the last few years with MAC Daddy and Mr. MAC Nasty but never ran for points. Blackbourn's pre commit every year as well but they focus on the NTPA circuit and hit up PPL events when the schedule allows. I believe that the USS class overlaps with Benson, NC and Fort Recovery, and Hamburg, NY and Bowling Green.

Brent Yaron Registered: 12/19/2016 Posts: 1,164	All personal opinion really. Some will do if for who they think is a better organization, or maybe who offers more money to win, or which has pulls closer to home. It's different to every puller.

Logan Thomas Registered: 02/23/2017 Posts: 137	You guys should go to the PPL website & look at the "Champions Club Information & License Form". It's the 2016 form as it hasn't been updated lately, but the first page explains the requirements & perks of being a pre-commit/champions club member with PPL. Reply Quote

Is there some benefit to pre-committing if your not going to make every pull like Blackbourn's in PPL? Won't that mess with the point system? I know NTPA only awards points to guys running GN. At GN pulls, if you get 5th place but two guys ahead of you are local, then you get 3rd place points. Why would they let a team pre-commit even if they aren't planning on making every pull and will have no chance to win the title? Not trying to cause any trouble or point fingers, just curious as to how it all works.

TAP Motorsports	When you sign up for pre-commit you get special payments and privileges. If you don't make the hooks you lose those privileges. PPL you have to make all but 2 on the schedule, NTPA you can't miss a single hook. You also take up a spot someone else might want because there are a limited number of spots. Reply Quote

Nate	Keener’s still have the sheet metal for XXX, they sold the motor to Kim Parobek that he put in the chassis of my other dear, which was the old smokin hot Deere chassis. You have to have a ppl license to pull at goshen, and you used to have to have one to pull at Indy as well, so it’s tuff to chase points without one! Hope this clears these few things up!
