Question about NTPA Open SS rule change April 16, 2019 06:18AM
Which person(s) proposed the recent rule change? This isn't asked because of being for or against the new rule, I'm just curious who proposed it and what the process was. Was this like the SSD Restrictor plate rule a couple years ago (later rescinded) that was not specifically proposed when the original rule proposals were published? I don't see the actual proposals on the website.

The Tech page has this in red letters:

Notice: The joint executive boards of WPI / NTPA has deleted rule letter h. of number 16 on page 48 of the 2019 NTPA rulebook in order to clarify the FWD V-8 engine in the Super Stock tractor division.

Does the fine print mean the 903 is still illegal?

Thought I remember someone saying that several 6 cylinder pullers said they would commit to running GN if the 903 was outlawed, but good question, not sure if anyone ever formally proposed the rule change? Also doesn't appear it helped the class. I just don't see how you can outlaw pullers that have been running in the class with the same setup for years! Whether the rule was right or wrong, it was the rule.

In theory, if a rule was passed (or dictated if there is no board, and I mean this in general, not specific to NTPA), then anyone that was legal before is now illegal.

Whenever Indy Car, NHRA, NASCAR, etc makes a rule change, any vehicle not in compliance is not legal, whether they previously were or not.

For example, and correct me if this is wrong, but after Jack Kielmeyer left his semi engine on the track at BG, didn't NTPA make cab-overs illegal the following season? If correct, cab-overs like Tom Lindsay would be currently illegal in NTPA. If this isn't correct, please advise.

Looks like a great business decision. Lose 5 of the best tractors in the country that were plastered all over half of their advertising for the past decade.

Many Pullers with Competitive Rigs that may run all or most event but do not Pre Commit, don't count the class out yet!
