I've said it before and I will say it again....no. Limited Pro and Light Pro do not belong on the GN circuit or the Champions Tour. Nothing against the classes, I generally enjoy watching both. I've used this reference on this site before and I'll use it again. Both of those classes are like minor league baseball teams. Nobody goes to the World Series and wants to watch two minor l

Assuming Agony of Defeat is the old Green With Envy Tractor, but someone can confirm. Also looks like Green With Envy will have a new tractor out, which we knew as they will be at the Pullers Championship in a few week.
But let's get to the important part here. Holy smokes that's an impressive Pro Stock class! 27 entries, assuming they all plan to run the full season. PPL will now be

I've heard from a couple pullers who made the switch that the reason behind it is similar to leaving a job where you feel you're just a seat filler, to joining a company where your boss actually cares about you as a human being.
I'm also willing to bet that you're going to see the Conny's do the same thing Koester just did. They'll likely show up to BG, Chapel Hil

Interesting to note that Adam Koester and his three mini's plan to pull most of the PPL series (looks like everything but Norwalk) and plans to run GN circuit with NTPA. A surprising move honestly.
They've been at a couple PPL pulls in the past but their schedule for this coming year is about 85% PPL. I'd keep an eye on that going forward

I personally will be at Norwalk and look forward to enjoying this new pull. If run correctly this could be a huge event both this year and in the future. Everything so far looks extremely positive.
As for Chapel Hill, they'll have all the NTPA precommits but that'll be it. I don't see this having an impact on Chapel Hill outside of the fact that PPL guys who normally would have

No class requires more driving ability than the Unlimited They can't even drive them the way they did 5 years ago with all the advancements in power. Was on the phone with one of them yesterday and he was saying he going to have to learn to be more patient than he used to be with the throttle. His tuneup and setup notes from 5 years ago are almost useless it's changed so muc

The dirts hauled in to bg ??
they haul in sawdust and incorporate it into parent soil plus a dose of water with Pine Sol
They haul in truck loads of dirt as well."Tractor pulling dirt" as the blue shirts say. You are correct on the saw dust and pine sol. When they work the track during the event the scraper tractor that appears to be spraying water on the track is actually

I know Jim Miller is great at what he does… But any event where temporary dirt has to be brought in makes it almost impossible to have a “good” track, regardless of who is doing the prep work. The good tracks around the country have been worked on and weathered in for years. I’m sure it’ll be a fine show; but I’m worried it’ll be a loose track with huge dirt piles…and then with PPL

I would love to see llss there too, along with all champions tour classes, light pro and 4.1 limited, and ppl hot farm, and even 8500 limited pro. If they want to call it the world series of pulling they need to have ALL ppl classes. This would really set them apart from bowling green as far as quality of show.

We have pictures around from the 3 track era at Tomah, but I'm to young to remember it. I did however attend the TS Performance pull in Franklin, KY one year. I didn't care for 3 tracks. As a photographer there was always something in the way. It didn't speed up the show either as a lot of times a track was sitting empty waiting for grooming equipment

Russia - 2 years ago
On the topic of propaganda related to this invasion one thing I find interesting is that Russia hasn't totally taken over yet. To me that just doesn't add up. Believe me when I say I support Ukraine in this situation. I'm just having a hard time believing that a country and a military as strong as Russia hasn't totally destroyed Ukraine. Something seems fishy

There is absolutely no logical reason that American couldn't be energy dependent. Agreed we can't just start using Keystone XL today, it isn't ready.

Shocked to see this hasn't been a topic here yet. Maybe it's because it's just a modern day Cold War and nothing will actually take place so it's not worth talking about.

People will complain about anything....the pro stock class is a crowd favorite. There's a reason there were so many of them at the NFMS and a reason why they were the final class on Saturday night. Put TWD trucks last and the crowd would have left before the final class started. If you have such a problem with the pull don't go.

A US citizen legally moves to another country, to live and work there for at least a few years or perhaps, most / all of the work career. But did not acquire that country's citizendship.
