Wow! Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Talk about variety, that class had turbines both 3 and 4 turbine combos, aircraft engines, hemis, presumably some other automotive engine (4 No hemis tractor)
One thought watching that video, the Green Fighter and 4 No Hemi tractor both hooked 3 times in the class due to sled reset and pulloff. If that happened in the US the boards on this site

Sad to hear that kids as young as kindergarten are having left wing ideology crammed down their throats. If they are starting that young I can only imagine what your district is teaching high school kids.
Unfortunately, it seems that left wing ideas are forced upon kids and if you speak out against it you're just a racist, xenophobic, antigay etc etc......

You can complain about what class you wish they had added or taken away. Heck I'd like to see the minis get a chance to pull at NFMS.
But at the end of the day they are packing the people in for the pulls, making money, so until they see a significant drop in attendance they probably don't care what your opinion is. And for all you LSS fans, sadly I cant imagine that subtracting that

Is a wheel tether going to hold a rear tire that size?
A situation like the one with Buck Eater a few years ago could probably be avoided with wheel tethers as that happened with a front wheel but I'm not convinced a wheel tether would work for a rear tire. Never seen one used on a tire that large

Just my opinion as a spectator who travels to dozens of events a year. I feel the 5" ProStock class could be great. I feel they could offer just as good of show as the other Prostocks. I feel they could be slightly more cost effective than traditional Prostocks. But I feel the bigger problem is going to be the look. Let me explain. All these ProStock classes look the same. The Li

So who do we think sabotaged the pipeline? My best guess is the US. If Russia wanted to cause a problem they just shut off the gas. China wouldn't do anything Russia wouldn't do. So that leaves the US, because by doing this it creates more tension between Europe and Russia/China. One step closer to global conflict. We all know how much the US government enjoys making money off war.

Not often do people change their opinions based on the arguments made by others on the internet. However, I think a couple of you made valid points and I'd now advocate for Light Pro Stocks to be a Grand National class/Champions Tour class over the Limited Pros. I would however support whichever was brought up. I do think it only makes sense to elevate one of the two classes not both.

Something I saw today struck me as odd. PPL has their big season finale at Wheatland this weekend. All Champions Tour classes plus the Limited Pro Stocks from the Silver Series. NTPA ran Limited Pro at Tomah.
Is there any good reason for not making Limited Pro a National level class at this point?

Your question on could any of the classes be merged though is an interesting thought. Could either light or limited pros be combined with Super Farms? With some slight rule changes?

The pro stock class is my favorite class. As far as the future of single charger classes on the national level I think the Limited Pro's will be added in the near future, for good reason. They create a lot of power, they're fun to watch, and there are quite a few competitors representing various colors.
That takes single charger classes to 3 on the national level as you'd have P

I live west of the Mississippi, deep in the heart of Outlaw pulls, and travel well out of my way to avoid pulling around here. Rockwell is great. Mound City used to be good. But if you want to immerse yourself in pulling culture, draw a line between Toledo and Louisville and stick as close to it as possible.

There's been a pro stock running on LP for years including right now. G1000 known as Fools Gold. Competitively speaking it can hang but definitely seems under powered compared to it's diesel competition.
Alcohol would likely be an entirely different story. Although the NFMS and the super stock class this year would prove that the diesels are capable of beating the alcohol tractors on

They've struggled more than most to get parts the past couple years for the mods. Those two mods were left home a fair amount in the past couple years. That and the amount of work required to keep those things running would be enough to run a lot of guys away from 2 four engine mods.

To me this is all about getting votes in the mid term election.
The average college graduate has $30,000+ in debt. So I agree with all of you guys this makes no sense as it will force people who didn't attend college, or people who paid off their own college debt (myself) to pay for others Gender Studies Degrees from Liberal Universities.

Those have to be the cheapest mods/unlimiteds that are super competitive.
Wonder how big of a market there will be for them though. The Boyd mods are still for sale/someone bought them and hasn't ran them.

Sounds like our Dementia Patient, I mean President, plans to announce the cancellation of $10,000 in student loans for borrowers making under $125,000 tomorrow.
Expect the price of a pack of bacon, gallon of gas, and everything else to go up more. This certainly isn't the way to bring prices down.

Light pro would get my vote.
I don't see any classes being added to BG though unless they become a Grand National class. Light pro's probably have the best chance to do that.
However, Regional Mods would be fun to watch as the class would offer variety and a good amount of competitors.
