The Original. I agree with you completely. In fact it's pretty amazing that the NTPA can run 25 different classes in a 2 session one day event. I think the Enderle Memorial is so unique that it's really a "one of a kind" shows. And after more research I see that some classes have 3 competitors and some classes more.

There are a few bucket list events in pulling. Naturally the Bowling Green show heads the list, along with the NFMS.
Others that come to mind are the Hillsboro Charity Pull, the show in Farley along with some others. However the Enderle Memorial event is a very unique show. Not only does the NTPA run 13 classes of their top 3 Grand National place vehicles in the evening show, they run the 12

Bob. I agree totally, however you and the rest of pulling world know that the pulling organization are NEVER proactive, they are reactivate to issues. The real question is how do you get the undermanned (women) to even have the time or resources to do it. And unfortunately we only find a problem when something catastrophic happens. There are so many classes with so many different issues it wil

I believe that a 2 day event if you have breakage during the first session that you don't have to come back and bump the sled during the second session to get hook points. Not completely sure what the PS stands for? Please let me know if have my facts wrong

A knee jerk reaction is easy to say with the benefit of 20, 20 hindsight. If there is a solution to a problem then it must take place as soon feasibly possible. If a second incident happens an no corrective action has been taken then its a lawyers dream. The NTPA has always been the leader in safety and I trust their knowledge and judgment.

What I have noticed is that most pullers class choices are dictated by their disposable budget
Not always, how time and money are usually the deciding factor.

I just looked at the NTPA results page and they are now listing their events by date rather than alphabetically. Also the recent results page is working well. Looking forward to seeing the site up and running completely.

The NTPA, PPL and Outlaws monitor all social media. If you don't believe that they are looking at this site along with others then I would be very surprised. And if they aren't then why worry?

This forum is basically an opinion page, this is my opinion. You also can use this page to express your opinions. What I don't need is someone to tell me that my opinions are wrong, they are my opinions.

I don't hate the NTPA, I care about pulling and the NTPA product falls under that category. So don't tell me who/what I think. And it's not my job to call the NTPA to tell them to fix their website. It should have been right BEFORE they launched it. If you want to pretend that everything is great with pulling well good for you, I choose to address issues that need ( in my opi

I'm trying to find results from BG and it's almost impossible. How do they manage to do everything wrong every time. Just amazing. I know others Say that they are not having any problems, well good for them. I am. The goal should always be to make things better not worse. And STOP listening the pulls alphabetically, list by DATE. Come on this is pretty basic stuff.

The NTPA has a new web site. The one thing that I don't care for that the results are listed by alphabetic order when it would be easier to navigate if results were listed by the date of the event. And I couldn't get the " most recent event " to work at all.

Bob, I couldn't agree more. The Bowling Green show is a one of a kind event. There is nothing like in the pulling world. Jake and myself along with Harold and Joe Card have been honored to take the photos for the program ( shout out to Bryan Lively, great job year after year) for several years. We have been able to get a small look at the " behind the scenes " view of what makes this show

I also think the class has huge potential, and yes some of the best pullers hook in that class. I did notice that the box topped out at about a 125 feet down the track and with the vehicles not being able to get up and start running and gather some momentum most never got any speed coming off the starting line. And another thing that I found interesting was that this was the only class to hook b

Interesting question, after the Initial cost what is a reasonable budget to keep a DSS running for an entire season? I would think that DSS and a PS would be at the top of food chain for budgets. More HP more maintenance, and we should all be thankful to the teams that are willing and able to make those classes happen.

Lewis even then those vehicles were the best, strongest in the nation. It's always about HP which translates in speed down the track. Bowling Green is and always been bringing the best together in one place. They never built their show on 55HP Super M vs John Deere 720s.

IF we want grow the sport it has to be exciting and entertaining, a slow sled is not what the fans want to see. A slow sled does not translate to excitement. A fast sleds that let's the high HP vehicles get up and moving and then brings to a fast safe stop is what sells. And I'm not really sure what you can do to improve todays sleds other than a sensor to monitor box movement relate

I do agree that the sport does poorly at promoting the next event, that it's a points race for a championship, that there are other events that they can attend. That there are certain rules for each class. It's not the circus that just shows up out of nowhere and leaves in the morning to who knows where. Every event should always have open free pits, puller/ fan interaction is one are

While I agree that marketing can improve where is the money to do this coming from? All 3 major organizations are working with limited staff and budgets. Just to wish/want something does not make it happen. And again where is the money coming from to raise purses, build marketing teams and take the sport to the next level. If memory serves me one of the major sponsor/owner has backed away. O

I am amazed to listen to the people that claim that the sport has not become a major motorsports league because it hasn't been marketed right. They just say if the sport was promoted better there would be growth. They make it sound like the NTPA, PPL and the Outlaws just haven't tried hard enough to promote the sport. Or have done it the wrong way. If they were in charge it would rais

NASCAR is taking seats out, not in. The sport is in decline and having one style body ( brand loyalty) is one aspect that is part of the problems. Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge was one of the main attractions.

I think a couple things that would be different is that there would be no multi charger classes, 2 is the cubic inches in all tractor classes would be limited to 540 or less. Mods would be capped at 3 engines and sleds would have electronics, such as box vs groundspeed monitored. Computer driven engine control would be allowed.

That is true that the predominant brands are certainly shared between red and green, so to allow any hood on a JDBB disguised as anything other than a John Deere is not fooling anyone. By allowing cross dressing you have diminished the effort that puller/builders put in getting an "off" brand to compete. The NTPA is responsible for taking away the brand loyalty that was the backbone of the hood
