New pull at Western Farm Show in Kemper Arena October 12, 2010 05:45AM
Got a great surprise in the mailbox today. An application for the tracator pull at Kemper Arena during the Western Farm Show. It is on Friday and Saturday night February 25th & 26th. I think this is 1 week after the Louisville Pull. 9 classes and some real good money. Out here they call the Wisner, NE pull the Bowling Green of the West, this pull might be the Louisville of the West.

Do not think it is limited to just Outlaw pullers, but the letter says they are using Outlaw rules. They will probally take some local pullers if they meet the rules. They are sure paying good money in every class. All classes are from $5550 to $6150 each. $1000 to win then 900, 800, 700 ,600,500,400,300,200, and all the rest 150. 4 classes on Friday and 5 on Saturday.

Looks like they have there stuff together. Notice all the big classes (14 vehicles) are smoking tractor class. This is what most of the farmers want to see. Still had enough sense to keep the noise classes including 4wd trucks. Has a pro stock truck ever pulled for $1000 to win? Should be one heck of a pull and I bet some people will skip Louisville and save some money this year.

I see Outlaws has posted everything on its website, including application form for Kansas City pull. Big surprise they are starting Semi truck class. That class will go over huge out here as no one has them.

Yup, He's promoting a semi truck class, But still tries his hardest to keep the unlimited class out,Maybe if he would make the rules match the rest of the country that class could grow too, Make it a Heavy Class with overhead cams or adopt the NTPA light rules with 504 pushrod motors but he claims this is not what the promoters want ? I feel there is room for both a Light Super as Outlaw has it and a Componet 504 but Im sure if we ask there are some stats with numbers that prove me wrong, All I am saying I wish he would give the class a chance with some new blood like he did with limited pro and now with the trucks

Doug has given that class every chance in the world. Books it every year and only 2 to 4 show up. Anyone else would have giving up on that class and I do not know why he still offers it to promoters. He let the class make thier own rules and nothing seems to work. At the pull this summer about 10 miles from Kemper Arena 4 showed up. He has always said the Light Super Stocks have too many hooks, but the Unlimited Super Stocks will not show up and that makes it hard for a promoter to switch classes and take some of the load of the Light Supers. You sure cant blame Doug for the messed up Unlimited class.

I think this is an awsome thing for outlaws!!! I done see any other clubs going out and getting any big indoor pulls... way to go Doug!!!!!!!!!

Why will there be no unlimiteds? I don't see anything wrong with the class, I am sure that if you had a pull like that you would be pushing 15 tractors there. Wisner was close this year with many other ones at bowling green.

A course you would have plenty at a indoor pull in February. Wisner did have 9 this year and that was the most they ever had. Yet all the other hooks had 2 to 4 show up. So what are you saying, Doug should reward them for hooking with everone else except Outlaws when their is a conflict with other associations all summer and then have them at the Western Farm Show this winter. I would say if they support Outlaws, Outlaws would support them. My 2 cents worth.

Ditto, Great job Doug, 10 years of work finally paid off. Also thanks for the 12 years of hard work for Outlaws.

At first glance the PS semi rules look really good!
The statement that fair boards have been asking for the class the last few years is a mild understatement!
Some of the ones I have worked with have been asking for over 8 years.

I googled up Kemper Arena and that is one nice facility with a great history. It looks alot like freedom hall with box suits and 3 levels. Maybe someone can post the link on here like a earlier poster did on the farm show. My computer skills are limited.

That no outlaw tractors will be in louisville??? Seems as if several of them go home broken from l-ville, that would severely hurt the kemper show!

What are the Mod rules or engine limits for this event ? Are Turbines allowed in this arena ? As I recall Louisville doesn't allow turbines.

track length October 13, 2010 05:11AM
Does anyone know what the track length will be?
Is it comparable to Louisville?

I have not heard anything about the turbines not being able to run, so I'm assuming they can.

I can't wait, I hope this place has ceiling tiles, I always wanted to knock'm downGrinning

Re: track length October 13, 2010 08:58AM
The way you turn them Chebby's you'll knock them down for sure. So will the turbines.
I think L'ville still allows turbines. Just none apply.

Re: track length October 13, 2010 10:23AM
Talked to Doug and he thought just a little longer than Loisville. 265 feet puts it in the sand.

Most of the time we know who got into Louisville by the Outlaw banquet, which is the weekend before Thanksgiving. I would think the same thing for Kansas City.

The Western Farm Show has updated thier website with a tractor pull section. Ticket prices and when they will post the drivers for this years pull. Looks great and this pull is good for the midwest.

So how does the entry fee work out? Will they reimburse you if you aren't selected? Seems like $150 to get denied is a really good money making scheme!

Yeah, Louisville does the same thing, if you don't get picked, you get your money back.

Hotels close to Kemper Arena October 19, 2010 06:07AM
Does anyone have any reccommendations for hotels in the Kansas City area that are close to Kemper Arena? I have never been to KC, so wanting some insight to a hotel in a clean, safe area! Thanks!

A great place to stay in Kansas City if your traveling without pulling rigs and are just coming to watch. There is lots of different restaurants and shopping places to check out. Its about 5-10 mins from kemper arena.

www.countryclubplaza.com
By far one of the most unique, historic, and beautiful places in the midwest. Lots of neat buildings, shopping and food. About 15 min from Kemper. Located in the heart of Kansas City. Very safe place to visit. You won't be disappointed staying down there. Your wife will love you for that decision.

www.visitthedot.com/village_west/index.html

Village west is the area out on the west side of Kansas City that houses the Kansas Speedway, the Legends outdoor mall, Nebraska Furniture Mart and many restaurants. This is probably going to be the best area of town to stay in with big rigs. Most of the hotels have plenty of parking. The area is located about 10-15 mins straight west of Kemper on I-70 and 435 on the Kansas side. All the web links have links to various lodging. IF you have kids Village west is home to Great Wolf Lodge. A great spot to stay for the weekend for families.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone interseted in the Kansas City pull. Thanks to Steve Shackelford have found some good dirt 11 miles away and are getting ready to move 80 truck loads of it to right outside Kemper Arena. The WFS said monday that they are getting in lots of entries. Carrie is working on some discounted hotels for the event and will be in the letter to the ones thaat get invited. The ones that do not will get their $150 back. If succsesful our goal is to go to 3 days in the future and add USS, Semis and diesel 4x4 trucks. Hope to see everyone at the banquet, I am in Nebraska helping the in-laws put in crops and what a difference a year makes. Everyone should be done with harvest by banquet time. Doug Roberts
