The PPL/ IHRA Fendt Series has so many great features, first and foremost is the increased purse money. Other the Simon's event last year the Fendt Series is certainly one of, if not the best paying series ever. And the certainty that almost all, if not all of the competitors will be there. And so far PPL has shown the rest of the pulling world (NTPA please note) how to run a fast paced sho

Was the Outlaws the organization that promised the pullers in the 4.1 class that they could vote on the turbo they want to run and then went ahead a mandated the box turbo that they are running now? Please correct me if that's not accurate.

Adam K had a great weekend picking up 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third, that's certainly going to be one nice check.

Why would any club/organization think it's OK for fan to park,sit or stand at the end of a pulling track, just amazing, total lack of any common sense. Same with pits and around the starting line, all high risk areas. How much does a couple loads of sand cost, I'm guessing it must be pretty expensive. When will the US sled builders/organizations taking the European sled safety equipment

All the talk about slowing the pulling vehicle, heavier sled, none of that will never happen. The fans want to see an action, exciting show. Now if a vehicle doesn't go 340' or more they are disappointed. The fans today want a fast paced show ( note to the NTPA) not sime slow show. Slow track crews, slow at removing vehicles off the track and a show that's takes forever to get the

In the event of pulling accident the lawyers will sue everyone. Those with the deepest pockets will be their main goal. No one will escape the lawsuit.

Do that raises the question, if there is a fix and its not implemented and there is a serious accident who is liable, sled owner/operator, promoter or sanctioning body?

You could say the same thing about the DSS/OSS class. And originally that was this topic was about. The only reason that they are not combined is the pathetic NTPA leadership. If the NTPA really cared about improving the show they should start by making the shows more exciting and interesting.

The interesting thing is that Triple Bypass won both OSS sessions by an average of 7 feet, and in the DSS class they got a first and a second. What's also interesting is the Triple Bypass has a very impressive win ratio in the OSS class, and being the only DSS that consistently run against the 650 alcohol tractors is even more amazing.

That was a bit of sarcasm. Remember when the DSS boycotted the alcohol tractors from pulling with them. That's why we now have 2 SS classes.

Is it time to ban the DSS from the 650 alcohol SS class. Sure seems like Ross is pretty much dominating the OSS class. And also looks like there are a couple more that run right up with the 650 alcohol guys.

It would be great if the FHSS could be the model for all of pulling. The series is everything that pulling should and can be. High payouts ( before someone points out that it's really a buy in event I am fully aware of that ) , Limited number of entries and events, there is almost a guarantee of the vehicles showing up, and great live stream. From what I understand that even if you finished

JJJ. Don't worry when the current LLSS class makes rules that drive most pullers out of the class someone will start a class that is actually the ones with the very rules that you just posted. In pulling just looked at the history of a class and you will find that when rules start to get out of hand a new class will be started.

Yes, I deleted a post. There was a phase that was used that did meet page guidelines. And first i hate the NTPA and now I love the NTPA, please someone help me makeup my mind.

Or write sensible rules that stop this crazy HP game. The setting of the sled determines the quality of the show. More HP never helps pulling only hurt it. Does anyonereallybelievethat higher HP helps improve the show?. However that ship has already sailed, pulling leadership as always has yet again failed to lead.

The entire sport of tractor pulling is using using outdated technology. DSS , LSS, OSS all are using technology that the manufacturer's stopped using 30 years ago. And a piece of cast metal does not age. I think the comparison between SF and LLSS is a valid point. Sure the weight is different, however with more weight (SF)comes more stress on the drive train. LLSS does not need component cha

I looked at the NTPA list of drivers and vehicles that will be attending the pull that are on their live stream and I don't see a good portion of the names not on the track. I do believe that those that have signed up for the Fendt Series will show up for every event. I understand the breakage, family commitments and other things happen can prevent pullers from not showing up. I would like t

I think now that the class is going component they should allow them to run multi turbos and raise the cubic inches to something in the range of 505, I'm going to suggest that they call the Light Super Stock or LSS. Just a thought!

So is the lineup list for NTPA events really the vehicles that will be at said event. If not, what's the point of posting the list of entries that may or may not show up?

Question: I believe if you look at PPL results over the last several years you will see that a vast majority of pullers are the ones that are on the High Stakes Fendt Series. I applaud PPL for recognizing pullers that have supported them year after year. After all this is a PPL event and Loyalty is to be recognized and respected, something that is lacking in other organizations.

Sure doesn't take long for you guys to get OFF topic. How about starting another thread if you just want to call each other names. And yes is a great announcer.

From some of the posts, and ideas it sounds like the produce on the track is not enough to grow the sport. I do agree that a couple podcasts do well getting interesting guests and sharing solid information, however, at times it comes across in a very unprofessional way. If the sport is to be respected and viewed by the public it HAS to present itself in a more professional manner. The sport is tr

I guess the first question is, is there potential to even grow the sport. Let's say that there an opportunity to keep the existing fans and bring new fans into the sport. Do celebrity drivers, podcasts, message boards, and all the off track activities add to more fans watching the events? Or is the first thing we should concentrate the produce on the track? I sincerely hope the drag racing
