I think it's time for that class to be removed. Biggest pull in the USA and only 9 tractors (only 3-4 make good runs). Bring in 4.1 or Light Pro. Bigger numbers and better show. Just my opinion. |

I would hardly call a class that cost north of 100k to get into and be competitive a starter class. Those guys spend big money on the 4.1s and light pros and they run hard. |

I’m in agreement on the removing the light mod/light unlimited… whatever it’s called this year. The problem is, you can’t bring in another 20-30 vehicle class for time consideration. Maybe you can, but if NTPA would open up that class to different power plants it’d make for a much better class and show. |

Parking

Not only another long session of 30-40 tractors but not sure you’d be able to park them all in the pit area. Usually full as it is with current classes. |

Yes just dont let my wife meet my girlfriend why you're looking after her.
In all serious though I just get ticked when people who have never puller SF think its a nothing class. In all the classes i have pulled in the SF class was the most competitive top to bottom and the one class you couldn't simply buy a win by speeding more then everyone else. As for what classes should or shouldn't be GN there are way to many classes. Eliminate half of them problem solved. |

It was the mods it was the crappy red sled. Why did they pull the class on the north side twice with the red sled. They always hook any class on north one night and south the other night |

also for no one to get the wrong idea about my statement i enjoy the super farms and have no hate to them but if light pro is a starter class then well you know the rest lol |

Well, let's see. If SF is the bottom of the big tractor classes, using that logic on the Mods, then the Light Mod, Fan 2, is a starter class. Both sessions results proved it, too. You never see pathethic results like that in SF. |

Fan 13,
Not to throw anyone under the bus but we (the Lt.Mod/Lt Unlimited) have never had that ugly of a showing. There may not be a lot of us but most are top notch and well accomplished tractors with many many points titles at all levels amongst the group. Not to mention very experienced drivers that ALL had trouble getting down the track, we can't all be that bad at figuring out a track...other things were at play here! I understand that you likley don't like the class and I understand that and it doesn't bother me but don't disregard this group of pullers as less than, that is disrespectful to some of the best pullers in the country.

Todd,
Did you make any changes after your test hook? Congrats on making a nice pass on your second attempt. I was really disappointed at the showing of the Light Mod. I think it was a perfect storm from a number of different factors... sled setup, tractor setup for some, track, etc... I still think the class has a ton of potential and I think Vaughn will figure out the setup on the red sled for that class. I watched Vaughn refine that sled for every single class all weekend long. I've never seen him run down the track so often just so he could see how the sled was at the end of the track. The pan is longer, it's got some extra bars under the pan, the limit chains needed lengthening, the sled was refined quite a bit from session to session since there were/are still some unknowns on how it hooks. I know there's a knee jerk reaction to call the red sled junk, or to say the class is garbage... neither of those things are true. Both will continue to get better.

I also think the class has huge potential, and yes some of the best pullers hook in that class. I did notice that the box topped out at about a 125 feet down the track and with the vehicles not being able to get up and start running and gather some momentum most never got any speed coming off the starting line. And another thing that I found interesting was that this was the only class to hook both times on the north track with the red sled. Not sure the mindset there other maybe trying to figure out what's going on with the sled. Dick Morgan www.PULLOFF.com Independent Pulling News |

Jake,
I did make a pretty drastic change, I moved every weight from the front to the back, something I never done. Still having done that the front didn't try to lift until I was way up the track then it got too high but stayed hooked. We just didn't seem to get any weight transfer to our hitches from the sled.

Thanks, I was wondering what you did. Watching you guys come out of the hole was painful... burning the tires off them with no ground speed and then when the pan dropped and the box topped it was a mess. I'm sure the sled will get sorted out and a weight will be put on the front of the pan or some other adjustment will be made so you guys can actually hook to the track.

"Lilshadetree", you could start by putting on your "registered" page what your actual name is - you know the one you have to use for driver license and income tax. |
