I can see that most everyone would want to keep things as they are and yes folks should build to the rules that are in place. I would also point out that in the 2wd class we can take our truck anywhere in the country and run because the rules are pretty much universal. Not so anymore with the mod class, we had thought about doing what the Gambler did and try to find a date to come up and run wi

Richard,
I don't have a dog in this fight but I have run with a lot of different tractors in the last few years. Yes I am one of those dreded three Hemi tractors.
Just this year we have had a new tractor come out and run with OSTPA and RN2. It has three Chevy engines with Dart heads and He got around me as often as I got around him. He has hurt some parts in the corse of the summer bu

I think the Funny Farmall should be higher on the list just going by his placing when he runs the Unlimited class. I'm not sure the top two shouldn't be reversed but then with that Hemi on top this year maybe not.

I think about 6 months ago the Loves that have sleds in Pa had some lead for sale. It was not made into weights but they had a bunch of it.

We used a 4600 and I'm pretty sure that they are the same as a 4000. The ratio for mine is about 23 to 1. There is one tractor out there with a 6000 Ford that I know of. The 6000 has hyd brakes and is harder to get the brakes working good but the ratio is closer to what is needed for an EHR tractor. The 4000 has several different ring and pinion ratios that will work in them. I'm n

We have run single engine mods for years and used the Oliver 88 most of that time. They held up good until we got over 600 hp then we started breaking the rear cast part of the rearend casting that holds the back of the input shaft. We had a friend that ran one and used a steel plate for a cover for the rearend and bolted a pillow block bearing to that. This fix seemed to work very well. We s

We have a shop that does work for us that got really well known for doing Mustang race engines. The boss said that even though he had a guy that answered the phone everyone that called wanted to talk to the boss. He said he could never get anything done because he was on the phone all day long.

I would agree that Bret Burg is the tractor to beat. Big Jack was the top dog untill last year then Bret started to get around him pretty well. Now with Jack out of the class It has to be the "Money Maker". We look forward to another chance to run with them to see how far behind we are.
As for the tractors in the east I really can't say as I've not seen many of them run.

I'm one of the lucky ones;she loves the pulling to the point that she drives her own blown 2WD truck. When it comes to spending money on the pullers she sometimes wants to spend more than I do :-). We have five pullers and not enough time to hook all of them...a good problem to have alhough we were able to make it to about 70 events last summer...life is good! As far as what I would give u

Gene was a great guy who did some very good work and I think Brent will do great carring on the business.
