From our angle, it appeared that there was white chalk on his left drive tire. Everyone around us had the same opinion! They tossed others during the week for going out of bounds but maybe he didn't go out of bounds enough? It definitely changed the placing of the class. Where we pull in Ohio, if you get white chalk on tire you are out. The evidence is clear to see. |

I noticed some tractors pulling onto the track to hook up to the sled with white chalk on their tires.
Looked like they had gone out of bounds, but just ran over the chalk on the way on the track. |

Obvious

If you watch any replay down the side, he goes out when the rear tire hits the 245 foot mark. How the official missed it is beyond me. It was showed in slow motion on the big board, twice. I saw the chalk on the face too but when you watch the replay, there is chalk on the sidewall of the tire too. |

He ran over the last 5’ of chalk line clear as day on both views on replay. Could see the chalk come up on the tire in the camera view from the sled. |

At the end of the track they are a little more lenint , like out side past 320’ I’m not making excuses but that was one strong running tractor |

Ha, don't come to an event that I am finish flag on. You hit chalk before end of track it is a DQ. |

Where would you say is the end of the track though? How can you justify the "end" of the track indoors and with a sandpile? |

I don't know I wasn't there nor have I seen any video, you said at 245ft the tire hits the chalk, usually at the very end of a run ( and 245ft in Louisville would be ) they don't say anything if they hit the out of bounds chalk. Again I wasn't there and haven't seen a video, just going by what has been posted. |

Just one instance where betting is going to be very complicated. |

If you watch the replay the flagman pointed inbounds. Yes he did hit the line. Yes it a show. He needs to give a thank you and be gracious. I would bet he did that. |

For those who think black thunder ran out of bounds he did not. At the end of the track the chalk had been 2 feet wide from the grader tractor dragging the white line in more and more each time. Track officials determined this conclusion after the run. |
Re: Light pro out of bounds

Sure
|
I agree that it's wider at the finish end of the track from the blades but if you watch the replay from the end camera, it is clear he got into the meat of the chalk line not just the dust of the smeared line. It's normal Louisville, the rules are made as they go. |
Re: Light pro out of bounds

Not
|
Most if not all big sanctioned pulls allow white line hits after a certain point |

As a puller, I'm not aware of any organization that allows the pulling vehicle to cross the actual chalk line and not be DQ'd. I do know that if the track is chalked to 330 and you go out at 331 it's legal. In this case the track was chalked to 250. The rear tire hit the chalk between 240 and 245. All I'm going to say on the subject is there is 1 guy in the class that doesn't have to question the call on the track. |
Re: Light pro out of bounds

Just Saying
|
Replays clearly show the edge of the tire on the chalk and chalk was visible on the tire after the run. Now if he had holeshots on instead of the extra wide parks tires he would have been good. |
Congrats

I would like to say Congratulations to Weekend Mistress - Kurt Afdahl and Black Thunder - Alan Cook for getting 1st and 2nd at the Farm Show in the Light Pro Class. Congrats to Detonater Black - Adam Spiegelberg for placing 3rd in the Light Super class as well. As a promoter for NTPA Region 3 along with the WTPA I personally think it's a great achievement for all three teams to place at this year's farm show. I would like to say congrats the Hot Wire team of Kyle Larson for making the finals in Super Farm! All these teams put in a lot of hard work and time to get their tractors down the track! I look forward to watching them pull this upcoming summer! Congrats to them all!

Let's all take a breath and remember that the scrapers who prep the track sometimes put their hitches down a little early, and when they start dragging dirt, they bring out a little of the chalk line with them. So viewers might have seen white fly, and seen white get on his tires, but it may not have been the line itself. Yes, he was very close to the line, but I think he ran over the excess. |
