If Bill Voreis has a tractor and wants to go to NFMS he's more than earned the invite.
While the committee has no criteria I do have respect for their decision making as they are great at putting together shows. I gained further respect for them when they denied Jason Schultz. No hard feelings towards Jason but unlike Bill Voreis their team does not have 10 GN titles and also don't

BrandonA, Prostock and superfarm were lower budget classes. Light pro is the the third most powerful single charger class offered then 4.1, then hot farm, then superfarm. Not sure how adding a more powerful class would “bore” the fans as you put it?
It will bore the fans because the average fan doesn't have interest in watching 4 single charger classes when they are to

For me the question boils down to aren't both the light pro and limited pro classes meant to be "cheaper" classes at a regional level for people who don't want to have a pro stock level price tag or travel demands?
I'm pretty sure these classes were both intended to be regional classes and should stay that way. This site like to talk about how to grow pulling and adding another

The NTPC at Bowling Green already pays a raised and expanded purse and a bonus class ($10000) plus extra prize money as part of some NTPA bonus series.
The payouts are still embarrassingly low....so what's your point? Can't grow the sport of pulling with payouts less than what winning a demolition derby at the local county fair would win ya

Nasty Norwegian I believe you are correct that more pullers having a YouTube Channel would help the sport grow. You should give everyone your Channel name. You can check out our channel at Just Send It Pulling on YouTube. Most of the time there is only a couple of us, so it can be hard to get all the shots, but we try our best.

I 1000% agree with the documentary idea. Also agree that the No Practice Podcast is a great thing for the sport. I think the Behind the Hook mini documentaries was a good start but not quite in depth enough. There was a recent Full Pull interview with Kevin Masterson that really go my attention. If combined with some sort of documentary would have made for an even better marketing piece.

I think tractor pulls need to be turned into more of an event for all ages. Look at how many thousands of people go to a pumpkin patch just to take a picture. We need something that draws people in that wouldn't otherwise be there. One idea I've got is take a look at Europe and how they do it. Sasha might have some great ideas for us. The second thought of mine is lets have a kids play

bandit496, which 2 class divisional committees?
And from your comments, obviously WPI board is not asking NTPA board for input.
The other thing that is striking, is that in the No Practice Podcast interview with Adam Bauer, he did not even know that Slagh's Minis are now illegal and did not even know about the proposed 25 grouping (unless I missed hearing it) and yet his dad

I'd like to second the thought that I 100% agree with you.
On the 25 per class rule I just think sometimes we need to stop making new rules and stop changing things. Who complained about this and brought it up in the first place? Any type of real competitor wouldn't want this. If you're truly the best of the best you should believe you can win from any hook and that you can win

Having listened to episode 3 of the podcast the 3 guys on the show made it abundantly clear that they hate the new points system. It seems the proposal they came up with is if you have 53 tractors then first place gets 53 points and last gets 1. I like this idea but then you are weighting pulls basically. In other words you could potentially win twice at Bowling Green and win the points for the s

GN points registered "Elites" get put into their own group and then the so-called 'underdogs' (and believe me, they all are not) get put into their own group and that is discrimination, and even more so if the "elitists" are in the class's middle group. What is fair about that?
The real problem is the old NTPA points system that does not properly reward the puller

I agree this will totally change BG and in my opinion not for the better. This rule change makes me think of the pro stock class especially. Can you imagine if for example all of the grand national guys start the class? Then you've got another two hours of watching some heavy hitters like the Mastersons or El Nino from PPL but the majority of the remainder of the class will be filled with th

Has everyone listened to the No Practice Podcast hosted by Adam Koester, Chase Richardson and Tyler Slaugh? if not I'd suggest finding it. The three of them go right into the hot button topics (mostly in the mini class so far) and are rather entertaining while doing it!

For paying $5,000 to win they sure had a poor turn out of PS tractors.
Do you really think $5000 attracts anybody running a pro stock? Clearly not and harvest was definitely an issue as well.
