I'm always confused when someone says " did you offer to help ".. NO, when you go to Walmart and the checkout lines are backed up do you open up another line and start checking people out, of course not. It's ridiculous to say the least.
You bought a ticket, you paid money expecting a service in return.

Teaming e: I totally disagree, when you pay money to see any event (pulling or otherwise) you should expect to see a good show, to get your monies worth. That's one of the problems with this sport, we're just be happy we see a show. Where is the insensitive to improve the sport?

I don't think it's to much to ask that the track be in the best possible condition. A 350' tarp for each track should be available.
With a slight crown to the track and early installation bad tracks should be limited.. Fans and pullers deserve to have a good show. Yes it's pricey, however buying 2 tarps should be a one time purchase.

For a SN pull there sure seems to be a few things that are very basic. Never, ever run two mod classes at the same time, same with SS tractors. In fact try not to run to hooded tractors at the same time, yes I know that some times thats unavoidable, how with so many national classes its not impossible. And never run a non-national class on the last session of the event. These are pretty simple th

With only 4 PS's showing up at a recent PPL CT event ( this in no way is intended to bash PPL or any other national organization ) do national championships really matter? Would most pullers rather win a ring at BG or be the winner of the NFMS? I realize that the Simon's event was a "one of a kind event " so I'm pretty sure $50k in the bank account is a rather enticing component. A

Really interesting to see the winners in each class. Maybe a couple surprises, however this pull had the very best in each and every class. The saying that anyone can win on any given night is so true in pulling. Hats off to the Simon's for taking a little different approach to the sport. I would love to see other promoters try something like this also. Again the Simon's raised the bar

I do think that FPE does offer great entertainment and information, however if we want to grow the sport it needs to presented in a professional manner. If it's to just entertain the listeners that a different story. I do believe that potential sponsors are very aware on how the produce and name is seen by the consumer. These are 2 very different things, course and vulgar language will appe

On that note, I think BM did more on social media than anyone else has ever done. Whether right or wrong they understood the power of the internet. With that being said I believe that are some really valuable and interest sites that are connected to either BM or FPE. The ''This week in Pulling'' site hosted by Dan Mayer and Miles and Jeremy Krieger has most possibly the 3

You're right, here is my first opinion. I don't believe that someone should have exclusive rights to all the NTPA's media. It limits the other media platforms from being able to show the events on sites. It actually reduces fans ability to see more pulling videos.

I want to get some opinions about both Full Pull Entertainment (FPE) and Beer Money (BM). While I do realize that they are not the same entity, however they are both generally in the same arena. I will not share my opinion, rather post some questions that I have been wondering about. First and foremost have they added new fans to the sport, has attendance grown through their efforts? Has then b

I think Chase and Co. have done a great job of looking at the sport with the idea that there is more sponsorship and revenue stream that has yet to be explored. I'm not sure if this translates to more fan's in the seats, however it does provide the current pullers and fans with more information about the sport.

I realize that this is not a pulling related question, however I have always wondered why do farmer use either Red or Green, and how many farm with one color and use a different brand when they build a pulling vehicle. And yes I realize that there are other brands the JD and Case IH.

Team Simon Sez, thank you for the response, I hope that this will clear up any questions concerning your event. I, for one want to applaud you for taking pulling to the next level. A huge payout is great for the pullers and exciting for the sport.

Morgan, thanks for the great response and a very well written post. My point about traction control is, 1, I believe that more pullers are running it than we care to admit and 2, I'm not sure about the wild ride concept, the sport can't afford vehicles being thrashed in classes with 5 to 8 entries, pulling is not monster trucks. The point of my original post is get more vehicles down

Bob, there are not that many real fans. Look at most of the people in the stands and they come to one, maybe 2 shows a year. They are there to support the local fair. When you go into the stands at a pull and ask the average fan who's leading the class, who leading in the points race they will no foggy idea. However if you ask them where their favorite NASCAR driver is in the points race th

Bob, the problem with pulling is, unlike NASCAR where fans had their favorite drivers, the stars of pulling are the vehicles. Fans don't come to a pull to root for their favorite driver rather their favorite vehicle. Granted there a few drivers that are fan favorites, but very few. So the vehicles have to be the stars.

After a little research I found that the annual NHRA sponsorship is between 3 to 5 million a year, not sure if I can think of any puller that has a sponsorship worth any where near that. Second thing is if the sport is doing awesome then why are all 3 national SS classes on life support, why is the sport growing ( it's not ) why are so many shows are half full, why are the lower HP classes

Patches, you nailed the problem, tech needs to do a better job. There's only one problem with that, there is not enough time, people, or knowledge to properly inspect everyone or anyone. It's not like there's a box mounted on the vehicle that says "acme traction control ", it's not possible to eliminate it.

I'm not sure if you really mean entertainment first and competition second, because that is actually what the sport needs to be, entertaining. The fans pay to see vehicles go down the track. The best prepared teams will always be on top, however with a few changes all the vehicles will be competitive. My suggestion will tighten up the finish order in most classes. We can not compare pulling
