Might want to read all the words.
Looks like ALL aluminum bellhousings are illegal in 2027.
The title of the story from NTPA's website says they RESCINDED the rule.

NTPA announced a new bellhousing rule a few weeks ago, then just rescinded. This is not the first time they've done this.
For pullers and techs, what is it about NTPA's rulemaking process where they announce a new rule, then rescind it a short while later?
NTPA rescinds rule just put in place

"As a fan, I would just ask that the feature classes not be shown last in front of a half empty grandstand"
This seems like a great idea on the surface, but ask yourself who wants to pull in front of a half empty grand stand? This is a no win situation for any class - no matter what. The debate about how to handle this will likely rage on forever......

I think the classes kill themselves. What I mean is a RN class pays, what, 10 or 12 places? At some point the numbers tend to balance near the number of places paid.
Super Farm had big numbers then light pro was added. That class had big numbers then 4.1 which never was huge, now 5.0 but none of them huge in R2.
Add to that light pros were split in 2. Now, Hot Farm may grow for a year or 2

I like pulloffs as much as the next guy!! Except, we pull alot and extra runs do not help the bottom line as far as we are concerned!!!
And, If a guy makes a killer 1st pass, then, in a pulloff, the already hot engine say no mas and kicks a rod, that is no good and we miss a few pulls fixing it. There is always 2 sides to a story and this is mine.
What about moving pulloffs to the end

For those claiming if you're not in the top 15, you're not going to be in the running for a title anyway so don't worry about not being invited... let's unpack that.
First, while CH is in the latter part of July, it's actually early in the NTPA GN points chase. For example, while not contested at CH, the TWD class will not have a points hook until Ft Recovery due to ra

Bowling Green doesn’t intentionally send both tracks at the same time. They are ran independently of each other and sometimes the timing syncs up. The goal is to run them through quick and efficiently because of the number of competitors.
They need one person in charge in the headsets advising which track to run. Jake has suggested a system where the sled doesn't light gre

For a SN pull there sure seems to be a few things that are very basic. Never, ever run two mod classes at the same time, same with SS tractors. In fact try not to run to hooded tractors at the same time, yes I know that some times thats unavoidable, how with so many national classes its not impossible. And never run a non-national class on the last session of the event. These are

Everyone at Tomah, that is expected to deploy the tarps are volunteers.
MLB has paid staff to handle the tarps that far ahead.
B.G. would be the same. I'm sure both places could get a decent number after work, but when do you put them out??
The 2" of rain forecast would have been perfect for the track.
Neither Tomah or BG are charging MLB prices for tickets and conc

One thing I found kinda silly is why pull super farm and 4.1 limited pro at the same time as well as light mods and unlimiteds on like Friday night session, most two track shows run a smoker ( tractor/semi ) class on one track side and a noise class ( trucks/mods ) on the other track side to keep the crowds interest and have a very visible difference from one track to another just ki

How many unlimited need to go down the track before you decide to change the sled? Richardson went 291 early in the class. It was a good run but I don't think anybody thought that was going to be the winning pass. I sure thought the track would improve after a few tractors went down the track, but that was not the case. After 3 or 4 tractors were down the track it was pretty

NTPA royally screwed this up. This is the correct answer. Why you ask?
NTPA announced on their Facebook, and I assume on the Full Pull coverage, that the Unlimited classes at Tomah were being filmed for ESPN2. That's a huge deal for NTPA.
Knowing this opportunity, some combination of names felt this was putting NTPA's best foot forward for a potential audience MUCH larger than cou

I remember reading the Copenhagen Skoal payouts in a 1990 Puller Mag. Cannot recall most of the amounts, but one figure that does come to mind is the Unlimited champion (Gardner Stone, I think) got $20,000.
Too bad that sponsorship went away. What is $20,000 in today's money?

Last weekend, the Fremont, MI RN pull had 5 sanctioned classes with a combined 23 entries.
Meanwhile, one complaint in the short track racing world is the bad habit (I would say death spiral) of promoters fighting dwindling car counts by adding classes. Instead of running 3 or 4 classes with enough vehicles for 3-4 heats, B Main and Feature, some tracks have as many as 10 divisions or more, bu

NHRA does it right. Here is their Event Registration site viewable by anyone. NHRA event entry.
Find where it says "Event Entry Statistics." Click on it, then a drop down will appear. Find the race you want, click, and the list is shown in real time. Races appear about 2 or so months out, so Brainerd, MN is the last race now but the US Nationals will appear in a couple weeks.

It's understandable why a 680 ci JD engine would have a possuble advantage in the Pro Stock class.
Why has the JD engine been less competitive overall with the 540 ci DSS class? Are IH blocks just better with the torque of multi-chargers, or is there another reason?
