Well said OH1797er. Let's Grow Pulling is having a ranking of the top machines from all three "national" sanctioning bodies. A true national champion would have proven it ON THE TRACK over the past summer! The pullers think three organizations is good because more of them get a check on any given weekend, but we fans know we are seeing a very watered down show at most "nat

Tell me what has improved. First a history lesson on monopolies; in the United States professional sports are exempt from anti-trust laws. I have read and studied this in-depth, bottom line they don’t produce a tangible good like oil and John D Rockefeller to import or export.

So basically "All can play" is not a true statement. Thanks for your answer though. Best wishes for your pull!
Do you also think that Pro Stocks should be able to pull with Limited Pros? Because that’s basically what you were inferring.

At the end of the day you can complain about what class you wish they had added or taken away. Heck I'd like to see the minis get a chance to pull at NFMS.
But at the end of the day they are packing the people in for the pulls, making money, so until they see a significant drop in attendance they probably don't care what your opinion is. And for all you LSS fans, sadly

Garbage…
Granted, I know I’m biased in this situation but the Light Supers have never had a fair shake. For years, the excuse for why they didn’t have a finals spot was because they only hooked in one session, while the heavy supers and modifieds had them…
I’m not detracting from the Limited Pros — I enjoy that class, as well — but I would have waited a few more years before thinking of bu

The question is: does Chapel Hill really need a second track? I counted 51 official hooks for the Friday night session this year. So, I guess a better question is: what is the magic number of hooks that “necessitates” a second track? (51 entries at 4 minutes a hook means a 3.5 hour show)

Apparently, Supertiquer and HP do not consider NTPA LLSS rules to be "national" rules.
When people use the word "national" in this discussion, they're typically meaning something closer to the word "unified."
Not one organization running 6,000 pounds, another running 6,250, and yet another running 6,500 pounds...

I didn't know Lock Picking Lawyer mentioned pulling in a video... that's pretty cool. My wife got me a Lock Picking set after watching his channel for a while. I can pick some pad locks now but sadly I couldn't pick my sisters door lock to her new house... had to drill that one out so she could get in.

It was a really odd feeling to see a channel that I absolutely love (Lockpicking Lawyer) comment on a video about tractor pulling. Don’t get me wrong: it wasn’t bad — just odd.
Any time we can get positive exposure for the sport, it is a good thing.

Three thoughts:

2) I wonder if Ruckus and Shel-Shocked will end up in Farley, IA on their for sale journey.
3) I wonder if the Bowling Green out of bounds ruling had any influence on this decision. Maybe a straw that broke the camels back, sort of deal?

A few ideas I was kicking around after the Saturday night session at Bowling Green concluded:
* Two farthest competitors come back for a pulloff for smaller classes.
* Five farthest competitors come back for larger classes
OR
* Ten percent of the class comes back if over 19 entries (e.g., 50 in a class, 5 come back; 20 in a class, 2 come back)

I don't see any classes being added to Bowling Green for the foreseeable future. This is a Super National pull that should be exclusively GN/CT classes.
That being said, while it would be awesome to see a bunch of LLSS competitors from around my way on the big stage in BG, my vote would be for the Light Pro Stock class.

I don’t think numbers will be drastically less than years previous. Yes, fuel prices are high, but come on… When some of these toys are a quarter-million, that’s a drop in the bucket. At the end of the day, this is Bowling Green. The largest stage in pulling — folks will come out of the woodwork to be there.
