We are in hopes of having two new tractors done before the Malvern pull. If we show up there can we have our TI done there?

Yes you will but there are few things that you should know.

1.) You will need to schedule it with an officer and/or a TI.
2.) You will need to be there early or meet with the TI before hand.
3.) Any TI's not done before 3:00 PM in Howells, NE on June 4th will not receive any points (just for the TI).

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in Howells and will welcome the new tractor class to the club.

what class are they running at howells? as I understood it, tractors are guaranteed 1 hook unless no super mods show up then they run both weight classes....How is this going to work for people only running one weight class??

also if you don't have all the rules done is there a probration period? (like you can run this time but get it fixed)

For the first few pulls (at least) the weight class will be flexible as we don't know how many tractors will be there. Most likely it will be something worked out between the class and/or officers at the pull when we see who is going to show up at the particular pull.

As far as not having all of the rules done by the time of TI, that is at the discretion of the TI's and Officers. We would like to have all the safety equipment. If you have specific things that you know won't be done, I would suggest contacting either myself or Bryan Banghart. My email address should come up if you click on my posting author name or my phone number can be found on the NPPA website (Bryan's too).

What if someone that does not fit into your tractor classes wanted to show up to do a testn' tune exhibition run?? Would that be allowed?? If so, what sled are you using??

The sled is X-Factor. You would need to talk with the promoter on doing an exhibition run either before the pull starts or after the pull is over. The NPPA cannot authorize an exhibition run at a sanctioned event.

I ordered tie bars and ski's from pobar when i found out about this class a few weeks ago but haven't heard back from him yet. So I was curious if I needed to try and build my own this weekend or if I would be alright without them for awhile.

would love to come to a couple of pulls, but dont think we will pass tech. like the wheelie bars, ours are 2" .120dom. and the distance between them is 20.5" and your web site states 20" outside of Pad to Pad. We are 28" just wondering if we can pull or ur gona send us home?

tie bars - As I stated before, you need to contact either the TI for that class or one of the officers. The TI for the class has left his number in this thread and I have mentioned where to find the rest of the phone numbers. You can also email me via clicking the name in this post.

EXHITBITIONIST - I talked with the promoter last night and there will be some exhibition hooks after the NPPA pull has finished (has to be this way for insurance reasons). Not sure on cost as it is between the pullers and the sled operator.

Thanks for checking that out. We're working feverishly trying to get the ol' girl back together so we can test things out. Barring any disasters, we should be able to make it. Chances are, we'll be wrenching on the day of the pull; but then again; what's new??

Just curious on how long a typical nppa show lasts?

Re: Nebraska Power Pullers Association TI for 466 Tractors June 03, 2011 04:30AM
We are typically a 3 hour show. A lot depends on the track conditions (and how good the track crew is) and the sled (although that shouldn't be much of an issue with mostly using X-Factor sleds).
