This coming weekend, one request as a fan for both safety reasons and aesthetic reasons-

Could we not have drag racing (ie- vehicles pulling on both tracks at the same time)?
Best wishes.

But how would we sell t-shirts about “Race Tractors”?

I can understand why people might want to hear that supercharger whine, but I don’t want it to dominate the sound of a Pro Stock or Super Stock.

AMEN BROTHER!

Give me the smell of diesel fuel and the sound of the turbos!

Love the sound of the superchargers and mostly hemi engines but keep it far away from the pro stock/super stock classes

Could we also not have the track prep vehicles during a two-track pull sitting still on the track blocking the view of the second track when that vehicle or tractor makes its pass. At Rockwell Iowa this year that happened on almost every hook and I got very tired of it.

Not the point. Track crew was painfully slow all weekend.

And it would be nice to actually have a full pull mark and a couple of pulloffs! Bouncing

It's Bowling Green for the National Championship, you damn well better be prepared to do a pulloff if you're a puller.

Granted I hope one day the pullers are compensated accordingly

Many seem to complain about carrying a free 37 lb Gold cube.
