EFI/Common rail should be allowed in every class. There hasn't been a carbureted truck from the factory since the mid 80's and mechanical pumps on tractors haven't been used on diesel tractors in years.

The Yankee race filled up the stock car field of 250 cars within an hour or 2. I believe it was $500 entry, and then they added another 50 spots and there still is a waiting list.
Pullers all but throw a fit to pay a couple hundred for a club membership these days. Even the Pullers Championship advertising large payouts, classes still seem to be a little short on occasion.

I don't necessarily think it should come down only to the amount of hooks your particular class has for that season.
One should also take into consideration other factors such as insurance, payouts, pit passes, organization, teching, points payback, banquet, venues, etc.

We use Google Sheets. This updates live to our website, as we embed each class spreadsheet into our website. www.ecipa.net
Our scorekeeper updates the spreadsheet with the lineup and then again with distances as the pull progresses. It works pretty good and doesn't cost us anything except a little bit of time setting up the spreadsheet and embedding into our website.

When was the last time you picked up a newspaper, magazine or anything printed?
Everything is available online these days, often time information is posted seconds after anything happens. Gone are the days you need a magazine for results or pictures for an event. Social media and the world wide web has all of that and then some basically instantaneously.

Video editing is time consuming, maybe it's gotten easier than when I was going gung ho 2 years ago. To build your brand, you need to post consistently on multiple platforms. I feel that this is a good idea, but needs to be handled at the team level, not relying on somebody else to come around and follow you. Millennial Farmer has a channel of his race team, does a pretty decent job I though

Good question. Always wondered why our rules for various classes do not allow for modern or current production parts to be used. Common rail, EFI, 24v heads, overhead cams, etc.. If it comes from the factory with it, it should be allowed to be used for competition in my opinion.

So Badger State change their rules to appease some random internet puller that can't even sign their name? Got it. I'll run that past our members tomorrow at our annual rules meeting and see if we should change our rules on a whim for random people on the internet who may or may not ever come and pull with us.

I'll chime in on this a bit with some thoughts.
Our club, ECIPA, provides 2 pit passes with each vehicle membership, with the option to buy a 3rd, no more than 3 pit passes maximum per vehicle.
I feel that is fair, some guys come by themselves while others have a whole posse. It's not fair to a promoter/fair to let the puller who comes with 15 other people in free.

Pulling is 100% an entertainment business. Every pull you go to outside of your literal backyard hooked to your tractor for a test pull is put on for entertainment purposes. To think otherwise is being delusional.
Fairs and promoters can make 1 phone call, like mentioned above, and replace a pull with a whole host of other options, and most of the time for much less work and possibly for less

We track quite a bit of stuff. Does it really do anything, maybe, I don't know. But it's neat to look at the end of the year and track averages year to year.
We count number of hooks per class, per pull, and keep an average from year to year.
It does help identify trends I guess. Say a numbers in a class fall off towards the end of the season, it can help with promoters picking c

From what I heard, the reason for the arrest was for pushing an officer. Not sure of the other details leading up to that point, but with the amount of people trying to get into the fairgrounds to park, there really isn't a reason to be late.. I've seen pullers not being allowed to hook at past Outlaw hooks at the ISF, and it was from pullers being late.

If you want pro street diesel trucks go to your local regional pull and get your fix. That's not a class meant for the Super Bowl of pulling
3.6 is Pro Stock Diesel Trucks, not Pro Street (2.6)
But by your argument, then I should never see Grand National Super Farms, 2wds, ULSS's, LSS's, Pro Stocks, Modified 4x4's, Minis, Mods and Unlimited's at anythi
