More Limited Pro
More Light Pro LESS Pro Stock The class is irrelevant and out of hand. We need more Pro Stock like we need more of the light show. Drop it to one or two nights at the most. The class was lost at component |

Re: Pro stock

Wow
|
I thoroughly enjoy both the light and limited pro classes and their are surely many other vehicles from each class worthy of pulling at the nfms. However I completely disagree with your opinion of the Prostock class being irrelevant, how did you even come up with that? The class was lost at Component???? No way a cast tractor could endure what a pro engine would put through it. Truth be known in a matter of time both your light and limiteds will likely be component as well. |

Pro Stock is following the path of Nascar. Losing fans because it is unrelatable. And therefore irrelevant. |

I'd agree. As a fan, Pro Stock is easily my favorite class to watch. So many great running tractors and such a beautiful sound. I do wish they had more limited pros there, but I understand there's only so much they can do! |

My comment regarding technology was somewhat geared towards referencing the use of components, yes not anything new but certainly not 1970s, technology doesn’t automatically mean under the hood, tires have far advanced along with lots of safety equipment, data logging systems etc. I agree the over all idea of creating horsepower hasn’t changed much but I can also see why they are trying to keep efi out of most classes and eliminating traction control “supposedly”, it is hard to police and really isn’t needed but pulling in this day and age is different and has evolved just like everything else we all remember step on sleds and using rope and tape measures for distances don’t we? |

EFI would have eliminated the tuning issues at the farm show caused by the large temperature swings. Which could provide a better show. |

You obviously have no idea on the performance side of things, pro stocks are knocking 5k hp if not past it, common rail injection is costly and and has just now Been able to hit 3k with nos, efi will never touch mechanical when it comes to raw hp. |

Re: Pro stock
|
Not a chance
|
While I agree pro stocks have gained power by leaps and bounds they haven’t approached the 5000 hp mark, 4000 comes first. |

If you feel that you can’t relate to it anymore stick to the farm pulls, it’s not 1970 anymore technology made its way into pulling like it has into everything else in our lives, I suppose you’d prefer narrow front ends too? In that case you’ve lost my interest. |

yet trator pulling rules only allow 1970 based technology |
|
Re: Pro stock

Lol

And it’s making over 4000 hp. New technology isn’t going to help that but rather make it worse |

Current technology being used has been available for many many years. They could have made current hp years ago. |

Re: Pro stock

No kidding..... so how much would they make now and how would they contain it? How would that be an improvement? |

I've always liked the 680 PS class but it's getting crazy having all the other PS classes. Then you throw in different rules for different clubs and wow. It's like the song says I'm not sure I can tell the difference between Iraq And Iran. |

If they could have made all this power years ago, why didn’t they? If someone could have had 4,000 HP when everybody else had 2,500, don’t you think they would have?
If everybody spends another $50,000 to run something new, the sleds will still stop them, they will be back to equal, but $50,000 lighter in the pocketbook. Just the way it has always been. |

Because everyone always buys from one place. These big turbos have been around forever they just werent sold buy a few certain pulling shops. This big jump in power came from someone finally going with what they wanted not what some overpriced shop told them they needed. The turbos being used are small compared to what has always been available. |

Re: Pro stock

There was a “cast” tractor as you call it there that pulled this afternoon. And yes its a true 10 pro. Finished 2nd in points this past season. Strong runner and hasnt had any issues either. Its called Red Power Express. |

6” charger at 4000 plus Brent? Run any national events or just itpa? |
|
Re: Pro stock

Not sure what they have on it. Just know it’s a cast rear end. And yes they run ITPA. They are too busy to run around to run nationals. |

Somehow the Super Farms and the 2wds and 4wds always run early, why is it that pro stocks are almost always the last class??? Because nobody stays around to watch a 2wd if they were last!!! |

Re: Pro stock

Just sayin
|
Less than 30% left in the stands for the champ pull. I wouldn't call that keeping a crowd |

Hey Fred,
Get over it. NFMS is once a year. If you’re a real pulling fan, you’d stay until whenever. But you just can’t please everyone Aka Fred |

If you're new to pulling, just an FYI. When they say green or red motor, it's just the block. All these guys have custom heads and obviously internals. |

Two yellow ones had green motors in them. One red one had a green motor, One blue one had a red motor, there's a black one that's really a different shade of red with a green motor, and there's even a green one with a red motor.

Blue And Red C N H same company

Well isn't new holland and case one company now There tractors are made in the same plant So having a so called red or ih engine under a new holland hood is the same as having a red case new holland hood over top of a so called I H engine..Its just updating sheet metal Same as putting a CNH hood over a defunct Case block Or A defunct International Harvester Company Block |

I didn't say it was right or wrong, I just said was the combos were. If that justification works for you then cool. If you don't care what hood it has that's cool too. If you're a purist that justification doesn't hold water but that's fine too. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service.

I believe the show would be better running a pro stock class on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday nights and dropping Saturday noon class. Cut the numbers back and weed a few out. There is a lot of filler in the pro stock classes. It takes away from you seeing the best of the best like in the other classes. |

I"m just a fan but curious how much money do these pro stocks have in them. |
|
Re: Re:Too many Pro stocks

price is right
|
I had one well known pro stock puller tell me it would take over $250k to build a top of the line one. |

I don't think we need four sessions of any class. 2 or 3 is plenty. Spread it around a little.
Ounce most pulling fans realize the engine rule in ps is crossing engine brands it will hurt the class. It has for me. |

Re: Pro stock

From the stands
|
the pro stock of yesteryear gave pulling fans something to cheer for. An international fan could cheer for international. A john deere fan could cheer for john deere. They at least knew that some part of that pulling tractor represented the tractor of which they were acquainted. Cast rear, block, head, something, etc. Todays pro stock is lacking this important feature. From the posts above it is clear that the class has moved past the cheering sections. Don't get me wrong, i really enjoy watching the class. how could you not? But without question there is not the same fan vigor that used to be with the class. I guess i will join my wife and cheer for the one i think is pretty |
