The Lemke's and the small block make me ask a couple questions.
They've certainly been successful but never dominant like others in the class. My question is are the Lemke small blocks the key to being competitive without as much wear and tear on parts as guys running BBJD?
They are always in the mix so something they are doing works. You'd have to think they are making less

Yes, thank you for the response Todd. I always appreciate your insight as you have skin in the game but seem to care deeply about the future of the sport and are always looking for ways to improve yourself and the sport as a whole.

I think the rules you proposed make sense and would be relatively fair. This issue is coming down the pike sooner rather than later. Unfortunately much like the light unlimited class they will avoid dealing with the problem until the class is more dead than it already is.
Ultimately the modified class/unlimiteds whatever you wish to call it needs to be saved and rules need to help the class b

Sled settings and lack of a pull off screwed up the modified class Saturday night.
Brandon Simon was red flagged before stopping, as was Steve Bollinger. Doug Theobald should be incredibly angry as he burned up one motor on his first pass and then the sled was reset. Which was incredibly stupid as the sled should have been reset after Simon's pass.
This class was handled incredibly wr

Saying he created 12 million jobs is rather misleading. How many of those jobs existed before the fake pandemic that the dems took the job away by closing down businesses? Then when things opened up they counted it as a new job for the Biden Administration? I'd guess at least half of the 12 million fall under this category.

PPL loses Lucas Oil and it looks like it could be NTPAs time to shine.
Nope they've found a way to give even more advantage to PPL in a class that PPL already had more tractors.
PPL stands for Pro Stock Pulling League right?! Has been for years anyway but this solidifies it.

I think there were several points made by the Shrameks that are the perfect summary to this problem.
1. This new rule will open up the possibility of running non OEM blocks. In a sport that already struggles to explain how these pulling tractors are tractors at all, that's a bad idea.
2. This rule change would be made due to changes made to an IH block in order to compete with the BBJD

2019 Steve Boyd ran huge screw blowers at BG, and pulled over 380 foot if I remember correctly. Boyds had a mod named Green Streak Unlimited at the time. (Not the one Steve pulled 380')
NTPA created a limit on the screw blowers.
Next year that tractor came back named Green Streak Limited.
Made me chuckle.
Rule #19 truck has a similar story.

I'm personally upset with Mccarthy and the republicans voting for him. Just pick another candidate and move on. If Mccarthy would just step aside we'd be better off. This is a prime example of the corruption of our government and their inability to actually represent their constituents.
Here's to hoping for Thomas Massie.....(It will never happen but a man can wish)

Tomah 2nd placer, I was thinking the same thing. IT NEVER FAILS. LLSS makes its way in somewhere. You'd think that people would be fighting over dates to book that class and paying more people to build them because of the demand.
THAT CLASS DOES NOT BELONG AT NFMS.

Just watched the first episode of Behind the Hook. I'd say that was pretty well done. Wish they would have took us through the preparation a bit more, as far as tune up and last minute checks prior to and during staging.
But overall I enjoyed it. As for a multiseries documentary my vote would be Jeff Hirt.

Seems to be some very odd entries in some classes this year. Not sure what committee was thinking.Hard to call this the Championship when several tuff pullers are not there in quite a few classes. More like an Invitational pull now. I understand it's their show and their picks and lots of politics go into this pull but its sucks for guys who have a good resume get left out and

What's sad is that when the media and the white house place blame on conservatives for ruining the economy, at least half our countries population will blindly believe it. You and I on the other hand will have this thread to come back to as yet another confirmation that everything the liberals do is predictable far ahead of time.

President Biden said yesterday "Conservatives are trying to destroy the economy"
This little blurb is an insight as to what we can expect after the red wave in November. When all the newly elected Republicans take office Q1 of 2022 my bet will be that the economy tanks by March/April and Biden's idiot press secretary and the propaganda pushers, I mean media, will start saying that the con

I personally think having 3 organizations has helped improve the sport.
For example if Outlaws didn't exist how many GN or CT pulls do you think the NTPA or PPL would have in those states? The answer: not many, they'd see a lot of RN/Silver Series pulling.
Plus the whole reason for the PPL creation in the first place was that pullers were upset with how the NTPA ran things. Regar

Our local school has avoided the woke ideology but we also have graduating classes of about 120-130.
It seems my parents did the right thing by encouraging me to learn history. Reading history books is the best way to teach children. They can form political opinions from there but at least they'll be educated on the FACTS when they do form an opinion.

Just based on the amount of times people on this site talk about Light Pros, and Limited Pros, those two classes are extremely popular and will likely see more hooks at big pulls (NFMS, BG, Tomah, Chapel Hill, Hillsboro, etc)
Super Farm.....there are certainly fans but the cult following is far less than the other two classes mentioned based off nothing more than the amount of times the class
