And what is the problem necessarily with that?
It give pullers a spot to go, payouts can go up with full stands, promoters are making money.
People goto Bowling Green just for the party in the campground and never leave.. People goto Talledega just for the party and could care less about NASCAR.
But those people pay the promoters bills, and the pull gets to go on for another year. Not

Our club uses Google Sheets, that are embedded into our website. The results become "live" an hour before showtime.
Works pretty good, results automatically update once distance, etc is entered into the sheet.
Best part is it's free.

I also enjoy a well put together class video, or winners video. But like Brent said in a previous post, trying to do complete class videos can take some serious time, especially when you start including drivers names, distances, etc.
It takes about 45 minutes to an hour for me to do a winners video. That's from importing the videos into a previously used template, typing out everyone

I guess since today would be the normal tractor pull day at the ISF, a rendering of the new 3/8th mile track should mean that the ISF fairboard is actually somewhat serious about bringing races and a pull back to the fair. I was told that at the Association of County Fairs dinner meeting last week, they're saying 2021, it was going to be 2020, but the 4H building received a large donation an

Because heaven forbid you ever need to look something up and you do not have the book handy. Can't just pull it up on your phone quick like every other pulling organization's website in the country.. The hard copy is nice, but so is having access to it digitally.
NTPA does have a very nice site, their live results are nice, but it would be even better if they showed the pulling line

Supposedly the reason why the Iowa SF didn't build it last year, was the city needed to put a water main on the west side of the grounds, which would have prevented any construction in that area for a new track area.

Double edge sword there..
If you start cutting hooks for a class in an organization due to there only being 7-8 tractors, that kills any potential interest in any new tractors being built. Why build a tractor and have a small schedule that will wind up getting smaller?
If you start adding hooks for that class, guys break, and your numbers go even lower.

Rumor from 1-2 years ago was 3 days of pulling.. Outlaw/PPL/Local or something to that affect
So, if they build this new 6000 seat grandstand/dirt facility, there is suppose to be opportunity for other events. Demos, rodeos, monster trucks, thrillshows, etc
Of course, all events will have to be afternoon events, you can't have a 4 engine mod running down the track while some pop countr

You can go onto John Deere's parts advisor and look up any engine you want. Granted there may be multiple configurations/versions of the same engine depending on it's intended use.
