NTPA - Super Stock Diesel 4x4
|
What is pullers/promoters/fans thoughts if NTPA would consider adding the Super Stock Diesel 4x4 Trucks as a Region 3 Class for the 2020 pulling season? |

Well, there is Wurm, Mifek, and Dickey as far as I'm aware in R3. The first 2 run GN I believe. If there are enough trucks, great. Where are the SSD 4X4 trucks to support a regional series? If enough 3.6 PS trucks would run events or upgrade to the SS class, maybe. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/21/2019 02:17AM by The Original Michael. |

probably not enough trucks out there to support it. they couldn't keep a 3.0 class going. it would be great to see. |

I think we'd get 4-5 trucks right now (Me, Wurm, Dickey, Blodgett, plus one that I know is moving up). There are a few more in Wisconsin that are around and 1-2 in MN that would likely be interested could be as many as 7-8. I know we are looking to stay closer to home next year so we would love a R3 class. Right now between PPL and NTPA we have 5 events within about 4 hours (Tomah, Hutch, Rockwell, Hillsboro, and Ellsworth). Thank you to Hutch, Rockwell and Ellsworth for adding our class recently and for Tomah and Hillsboro for the continued support. We'd love to fill out the year with a handful of hooks that are closer.
One of the reasons the other classes faded out is first place was still only about $220-$250. After membership fees, entry fees...etc that doesn't leave any room. Still we supported it every year until the classes were cut. GN isn't great but is $1200. |

Jeff is right, there is a truck stepping up and hopes to make a test run with it at the Benefit Pull for Tony McCray on September 8th in Ettrick, WI. Also, I think if they would say in two years they would add the class as a regional class they may get a few more trucks to build/step up into the class. The only problem is they would have to try and not to land on the same weekend as a national pull and that's where it would be tough since they hook almost every weekend between the PPL and NTPA.

Jeff you couldn't have said it any better! If NTPA would make this class as a Region 3 for 2020 our FFA will be booking the class in River Falls!
Is there any promoters on here that would like to see this class as Region 3 next summer?? |
