What's the latest news on Lucus Oil PPL. Popcorn time December 22, 2022 04:41AM
It's nasty outside and I thought it would make for a good conversation and some popcorn. I know many associations are tied to PPL in Pa. and New York. I asked the new owner of the Buck about them not having Tractor/truck pulls on their 2023 schedule. He sent me an e-mail and said waiting on PPL decisions. So what's up ?

2023 competitor license application has all state/regional orgs as selectable for membership. Doesn't appear to be anything changing besides the letterhead.

Can any one confirm or deny the amount of money given to state organizations will be the same, more, less? In my opinion the smaller organizations rely heavily on that money for payouts. Will that affect ppl influence on state organizations and numbers at there event's

Until we get to see this year's cost to the promoters, don't count your chickens.

I am part of the tractor pull committee at one of the biggest pulls on PPL’s schedule. I have the contract they sent us a week ago in my email. Cost of this year vs last year is up $2000, and that’s because the purse in every class went up $250 for 6 classes, and then I believe it was insurance cost went up $500.

Considering the way the economy is, I’d say only raising the cost of the $2000 on a pretty big show is not bad, and $1500 of that goes directly to the pullers.

How are intending on recovering the increase?

Rasing the grandstand price?

Charging the pullers at the gate?

Putting the squeeze on the local sponsors?

Maybe not, but on an (3 hour) show, that just breaks even on a good year, any increase will be big deal.

Not sure if you have noticed but everything costs more now than it did a year ago. People haven’t slowed down doing anything that I have noticed.

Finding a $2K sponsor isn’t nearly as hard as you apparently think. Charging another buck or two at the gate probably won’t be a real big deal either.
