I have a few questions I want all competitors and fans to answer.
1.) Would there be anyway to unify all the National to State pulling associations, to reward the pullers that pull with multiple associations, but yet keep the points race for each individual Association?
2.) In your opinion, what make a good show?
3.) If one would start a TV channel that is dedicated to the spo

I hate that gas 4x4 get two night sessions. Talk about a snoozefest
So do you want one of the fan favorite classes to have one session, or one day and one night?

"Not so much a rule, but can’t stand seeing people in hot pit and or helping back vehicles wearing flip flops or sandals. That may be from having a vehicle drive over my feet before. Shoes at least.."
I fail to see how a shoe dramatically changes the outcome of having your foot driven over (aside from superficial wounds maybe). It's still going to be a mess.

Well since it was brought up in the other thread. Open helmet visors have been the one that drove me nuts all year. Kept waiting for a mini to blow up in someone’s face every time. Alcohol fires are terrible because they are near invisible. Not so much a rule, but can’t stand seeing people in hot pit and or helping back vehicles wearing flip flops or sandals. That may be from having a vehicle dr

Transparency is a good thing.
NTPA could provide specific details so everyone knows the issue.

QuoteLogan Thomas
I don't understand your logic. If pullers already own Mitas tires why would they go to NTPA
How many pro stocks actually have a set of mitas tires? I think it's safe to say there are more with pro pullers than mitas because of the rare availability of them in North America.... If you are part if the majority who does not have them, and can't get them, why do

So if the 24.5 mitas is illegal now why is the 30.5 legal? They are made the same way.
They have to wait till closer to the pulling season to cut their other wrist. You can’t push all competitors to the other sanctioning body all at once. Have to wait till after all the new chassis are built first to rebalance for the mitas, then you make them illegal. Have to make sure ALL pullers eq

So how many pullers have them now? Will everyone that has them just go to ppl? Not going to play with 2 different weight setups for 2 different types of tires for 2 different series,right?

The rule was posted around mid July. Then got put on the shelf until end of the season “likely” because of a ton of blowback for a rule change like that mid season. Apparently, shortening the fuel lines is the mystery snake oil that’s been holding the DSS class back?!?

I was told they where going to be getting rid of them as they where leaving BG. The reasoning is because it’s a ton of work to run a multi engine mod, let alone 2 of them on top of 3 minis. It’s hard to enjoy any event when you spend near every hour working on equipment.

NTPA officials, I know some of you look at this board. In the interest of safety....
How about no drag racing at Bowling Green this year? Only one track runs at a time. Hold the vehicle on the other track until the run is finished, then give the green. Won't delay the show, you're just offsetting the run by 20-30 seconds. Added benefit less idle time for the fans.

Had that discussion after Fort recovery. The heat was felt past the flag pole. Had that been BG it had potential to be bad. North track the unhook guys take that fireball point blank. South track that’s past the wall. Might be time for some oil pan scatter shields even with lowest point of sump. I hate all the added shielding, but things need to be contained.

I’d check to make sure about what I had posted earlier about requiring yearly subscription to watch this event. Have 4 days to get it figured out. Hate to have people trying to log in Thursday evening hoping to watch and being blocked out.

It said earlier this year that to watch this event it required a yearly subscription. I don’t know if this all changed with the merge/changeover with FloSports. It’s kind of a pain in the a$$ through flo because they only list racing and tons of other events that are a stretch to call sports imo. So you have to do a search to even pull up tractor pulling. The ease of just opening the MAVTV plus a

Canada is allowed back this year.. I think fans have cut out extra traveling and other events and BG made the cut for many. I don’t know how else to explain it. It could be record crowds at the track… or it could be absolutely bats!? Crazy out at the campground.

There are some V8 Massey’s and they are more than capable of winning.. A few stray “IH style” blocks out there. The JDBB are the class standard and rule by numbers.

Just because Simon’s bought the setup doesn’t mean they will keep them.. They buy and sell pulling trucks and tractors. With exception of body’s with their dads name on them everything they have is for sale if you inquire. They may have a hard time selling the hauler out of this purchase, but that’s about it. The thing was registered out west because of length / tax purposes. But you could chang

I have to admit I noticed this too. So many open visors on alcohol fueled minis. The shorts and flip flops blew my mind. The passenger in the sled isn’t such a big deal, if they are trying to train a new operator. It becomes a bigger deal if they get out mid class. Reminds me of Fort Recovery last year. Watched camera man get his harness all situated all perfect both days only to never even c

It has been done before. You need pretty long ramps to do it. The interior height is what sucks. Generally a 12” difference 110” vs 122”. Then the fact there are no side access doors unless you add some.
