Says component superfarm too. I do get the hp issue and breakage,I do get it's easier to work on,and I do get the availability of other chassis.
But as a old fan I think doing away with the ag chassis in all classes hurts,and I know I'm in the minority.

Being an t1d(insulin dependant diabetic) food and drink is very important to me,carbohydrates are our worst enemy.ill use the biggest pull as an ex,there is not 1 food item for sale on the grounds that I'm aware of ( in my going for 50 years) that's friendly to the diabetic lifestyle.when I was young my parents always carried food for me,and I continue to everywhere I go,it's extre

Dick,I feel like in today's tech world a speed board,along with the distance board would benefit pulling greatly.
It doesn't matter if it's 2 mph antiques,garden tractors,or any class in pulling,when a speed board is visible we all look at it,everyone does,then some convo takes place between hooks,and 50 % of the time that's mentioned.
Remember years ago the world's big

2 wheelers could solve this easily,but the entire class would have to agree to do so..
Every entry hooks and drops tp the bottom,it's legal,and your option on a less than 100 ft hpok.every entry does a sled bump and drop to bottom.throw the sanctioning body under the bus,makes a 30 hook class into a 60 hook class,legally.the add tow off time.the sanctioning body would learn real quick the

I got an old vhs tape from fonda years ago shotgun red had to make the pulloff,300 ft,then the pulloff run 300 ft,another pulloff run 300 feet,then another pulloff run.
Total of 4 hooks as hard as it could run with no breaks..that's exciting for a fans view.

Years ago at a pull in missouir,I think,they made a hook with the exhaust fumes being colored white,kinda like steam.
Anyone know if it was as simple as a high pressure nozzle in the exhaust pipes after turbos spraying tap water ?
Or was thier more to it,could the alcohol exhaust be colored black with water and black food coloring,or coffee ??

I use an app on my phone and compared ig to my datalogger,it acts as a speedometer and tachometer.its surprisingly accurate to know competitors gear ratios they hooked in,very simple math that it does on its own.

Use the phone as our screen in the bleachers.
It would be nice to see data like being talked about in realtime,like results are posted.
Wouldn't a wifi antenna work ?.
Probably be against the betting site by providing info..
Also some kind of moisture detector would be great to watch along how tracks change.
What data could be displayed to make this actually fan engaging between hooks.

If the world's largest pulls catchphrase for over 20 yrs has been race tractors,the dammit do it,don't talk about it !!

So by the pic this thing sucks the smoke outa the air via a vaccum,then blows white air out ??
I'd think the vacuum signal would have to be substantial stronger than the exhaust vertical pressure,have to be a good sweeper to suck the pressure from a vertical path on a ssd,hope it's tried outside first

Talking at the diner,the subject came up if the sport is really growing ?.we talked about ntpa in 1984 vs 2024 amount of pullers at the state,region,gn level.
Do either of you guys have a way/means to answer this,we jumper the 1984 classes together to compare with today's, as follows
1984. 2024
55mod. Lt unlm
55/75 mod. Mod
95 mod. Unlm
10/12 pro. Pro

Also if the unl/pros were the 1st classes wouldn't people get there early,which makes more sense..I've been going to bg for 50 years,and at one time the crowd stayed,but since the ability to watch endlessly on media content and the country wide idea of not waiting on anything anymore the crowd sure has thinned down at later times.i stay till the last tractor has hooked,I'm on the s

I'd think the paying fan wouldn't mind watching the big classes first,unl/pro/ssd.my dad's logic was always,that's how you hold the crowd,and my question is for what ?,they've already paid.its also how you keep em from coming back,by making them wait,they'll get bored and leave early..ain't to many of us left that will wait till 10pm to watch a specific class.i

But your idea forces them to do something they clearly don't want to do.like I stated they can hook against the alkys anytime they want to.this isn't emotion based at all,it facts,they dont.were not talking here about combining the classes,the real topic is eliminating the dss class,a class that's been its own for close to 20 years +/- a couple.whos left that currently hooks dss th

Wouldn't a real mf 1130 hood with a v8 Perkins stuffed under
A real 1655 hood with a cat bulging from under
And a real 686 hood with a dv550 bulging from under
All bubbled to fit plumbing,30.5s on,look so old school cool.
No crossdressers,no recast blocks,and more than likely the only oem blocks in the class.
