I would be safe to say that Dan does not know more about pulling than myself. But he should know better than to use Army Armstrongs line refering to mods as "Dragsters" when they clearly are not. Do not assume that Dan knows more than anyone, He knows alot, but is not all knowing. I am sure he knows more than you.

Legitimate questions about the new office building/headquarters.
1- will the new building increase purses for the competitors?
2- will the new building help in landing a multi billion dollar company as a sponsor?
3- will the new building help in bringing awareness of the sport?
4- will the new building help promoters in putting on a event?

Yeah your right. Pulling doesn't need folks running their mouths. It just won't work! I mean it didn't work for John Force and NHRA nor has it worked for Donald long. Didn't work for Stevie fast or Lyle Barnett either even thou they have thee hottest podcast in motorsports! Yeah pulling fans don't want that excitement! Please forgive me

You can't not sell this sport to the masses on competition! It simply is to boring for the average citizen. Folks fail to understand that tractor pulling is motorsports entertainment!! Nothing more nothing less!!! Folks need to step out of the 1970s and realize this is 2023! Spectors/fans/ potential fans want excitement,.controversy, drama and personalities!!! Pulling is full of personaliti

Well Jake here's a history lesson for you! A very successful pulling promoter while at a pull he was putting on ( Hoosierdome I think) got a wild idea. He looked in his audience and a light bulb come on! He realized that the same folks at his pulls were the same folks that would attend a country music festival is a large dome stadium. Up till that point country music had never performed in s

All this bickering should be laid to rest over component/ Ag chassis and cross dressing. At the end of the day nobody switches brands on their personal equipment because what performs on the track the best! The theory of cross dressing started back in the late 80s when magnum tractor line came out and that metal was allowed in pulling using a ih block! As a sport have we've not crossed a 30

I don't agree that a friendly comparison is harmful to the sport. There are rivalries in all aspects of sport. Heck the what makes sports interesting. Red vs Green was one of the things that made the sport exciting.
Rivalries amongst competitors I support 1000% but comparing organizations and pitting one against the other is not good in any way for the sport.

It also seems worth mentioning that the tractors that ran PPL in the past are dominating the NTPA currently. Simons and Injected Funds (old Simon tractor) are leading the points followed by Billet Binder. The Masterson team hasn't ran NTPA points but have won every NTPA event they've been at. The legacy NTPA pullers if you will are getting their butts handed to them. The S

The greatest thing that could happen to the sport is create rivalries. Fan interaction and engagement amongst each other is healthy and a good thing. The Gangsters have been on path of destruction not only this year but last year starting in hillsboro they have been on a " Seek and destroy" mission! As fans we should embrace rivalries and have some fun with it! Anybody remember BG and the " snake

I tell you who is getting left behind is the fans of Outlaws! Last night at Monnett there was maybe 20 hooks in 5 or 6 classes. Over half in one class. At least NTPA had an out 50 hooks in 5 top tier classes. My last time going to Outlaws, all hype, no show!
Since you're so unhappy with the Outlaws why don't you just go to ntpa events in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahom

Either some of you have a very selective memory or you simply aren't old enough to know what being cocky or outspoken is in this sport!! Simon's are choir Boys ( no disrespect) compared to what being "cocky" or "outspoken " was like when the Man from Florida used to pull. The ironic thing is I write this comment standing in the man from Florida pits right now at a drag race!!!!

There was single charger classes across the country especially in oh,Indiana and Illinois in the late 1970s. It was not a national class at that time. I believe 1979 NFMS added the class where they could all come together and compete. Darryl Folz's ( driver team Masterson) father won that very first ps class at Louisville. Dale kohl at that time was a competitor and a blueshirt. I also think

Not only do competitors have choices but the fans do as well! Enough fans realize there is other, better run, more fan friendly motorsports to spend their entertainment $ on then maybe things will change! The "same ol show" mentality is not working anymore! Maybe instead of worrying about adding new classes or changing rules, how about they worry about better enhancing the fan experience, work at

That's the thing about closely held corporations and LLCs, they are not required to disclose that to anyone like a publicly traded company. We'll likely never know the investors in WPI or PPL without an internal leak.

Noble Harrison was the Godfather of the superstock. He was to AC what Lagod was to ih although Harrison was around before lagod. Harrison had customers in 23 different states and was the direct link to R&D at the Allis factory which he sold AC performance kits! About every famous AC puller in this sport had in some way a connection to Noble Harrison!

This would go back to the early days if it ever happened, almost certainly before the mid 1970s, but did a tractor ever run as a modified or SS for a while, and at some point got converted to the other?
Also, weren't some early twds basically repurposed single engine mod chassis?
