Today people are traveling all over the US to watch this solar eclipse.
I've had friends tell me tractor pulling is boring and they don't understand why I love it so much. Meanwhile they are sitting in lawn chairs waiting to see the moon cover the sun for 3 minutes..... To heck with the eclipse.....can't wait for some summer pulling |

Very good point. If anyone who tells you that the solar eclipse is exciting and a tractor pull is boring, you should tell them to go to an afternoon pull with diesel supers. Covers up the sun better than the moon ever could |

My kids are in sports and once the subject of tractor pulling came up during a game. I told them that I pull tractors and one of the guys said, "I went to a local tractor pull once and it was boaring". I probably had a bewildered look on my face but had to explain the differances. There is a huge differance between the local farm pull and an upper level event as far as excitement. Each type of pulling has its place and I'm not dissing anyone here. But when someone goes to a local stock antique pull and then a NTPA or PPL level event. They will definatly see the differance. But after being board at the prior, most dont, or won't, give the latter a chance. A lot like watching the 4 cylinder stock cars at the local racetrack. It has its place and is exciting to the people driving the cars but " I seen a race and it was boaring". And then going to a winged sprint car race. There is just no compairison. That said, motorsports are not for everyone, and most people would rather watch a High School football game, or a Volleyball game than go to a tractor pull. Must admit that I'm kinda getting there myself. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 04/12/2024 08:00AM by jeremyroff. |

Totally agree! I live 10 minutes from Bowling Green and majority of people here still don't understand that the National Tractor Pulling Championship is not farmers bringing their plow tractor into town to pull a sled. |
