Biden Admin cracking down on diesel trucks
Yes, there is a current event forum. However, since many pullers pull diesel trucks and even more pullers and fans use diesel trucks in pulling-related endeavors or driving to a pull, I think this could have impact on the sport, even downstream impacts.

What are the biggest competition rule differences that would make it a challenge for European minis, mods, and super stocks to come to the US and be legal for PPL and NTPA mini, mod, and SS classes?
Or, flip it around- what big rule differences would make it difficult for a U.S. tractor to pull in Europe?

Do limits on pulling parts/accessories wind up saving or costing money in the long run?
Does it make a difference if anyone can make or buy the part as long as it meets specs, vs a puller is required to buy the part from only one or a few approved manufacturers?
What do you think?

I cannot get the PRI pic to add, but maybe someone can upload JP Pulling Productions photo from Facebook.
I wonder if the team is running this in addition to the 2 USS, or dropping to 1 USS and 1 LSS.

If the economy doesn't implode, within 5 years there will be a new subvariant of the LLSS class when the current version either becomes too expensive for some pullers, or someone finds a winning formula to win 75% of the time. Whatever the new "flavor of the month" class is will then be popular for a little while before someone complains a certaim combo cannot compete.

This varies by class, but what is an average cost per pass for different classes? Mods, DSS, USS, PS, trucks, mini, etc?
For experienced pullers, what was the average cost per pass in your class when you started running in that class?

The Shipshewanna entry list has 70 Hot Farms split into 3 heats.
Other classes, like LLSS, are very thin with 10 or fewer entries. Of note, there appear to be a few more 5.0 Pros than I expected.

I used "events" instead of "hooks" because most but not all CT/GN events are 2-hook per class, multi-day affairs.
Of course this may differ by class, but in general, how many events is reasonable for a national points series, in your opinion. ("Trip" and "event" could be synonyms)
Is 8-10 reasonable? Should it be limited to 5-6 trips? # of hooks would be nearly double the # of events except

IMHO this is more like the points chasers getting to qualify as a group in NASCAR or NHRA. In the race(s) everyone is running at the same time, qualifying is when track condition changes could make a big change in results because they are competing against each other, but at different times and potentially different track conditions.

As someone without a dog in the fight, this rule seems illogical, especially compared to other motorsports.
Even in series with an regular season/playoff format (NASCAR, NHRA), the ones battling for the points are not starting the race together (NASCAR) or racing in designated qualifying spots (NHRA); those drivers have to qualify and start wherever on the grid (NASCAR) or ladder (NHRA) their

Anyone who was around in the early days-
When NTPA started, classes were 5,7 9, and 12.
Sometime in the 1970s, it became 5500, 7500, 9500, and at some point didn't the 12 SS become 12,200?
Why did the 5,7, and 9 increase by 500 lbs? Did guys want to make it easier for their 4010s to make the 5 and 1066s to make the 7?

Light Limited Super Stock
Besides corrections to 2023 rules for LLSS previously posted to NTPA Tech Page in early 2023, the following rule was adopted
Light Limited Super Stock – limit all diesel engines to 3.4 x 4-inch smooth bore turbo including those engine sizes that allow two turbos. Use of a 3.0 x 4-inch turbo with MAP ring is no longer allowed
Pro Stock – 5.0

Wasn't the meeting on 9/15? If there are 1 or 2 proposals that aren't decided, advise such and post the ones that have passed or failed.
This question is not a criticism, just an honest question:
Is the decision on when to publish new rules solely up to Marvin? The NTPA President? A board or committee? How is the process supposed to work?

Removing cast to the point of making it unsafe doesn't make it right.
Like I said, different regions/areas and different club/association dynamics are what drives the different weight limits.
Just back off and leave it alone.
Are we trying to grow pulling or are we trying to create division among pullers?

Current top tier antiques have way more technology and innovative in them than the cookie cutter 466 classes. 700+ cubed D466's, 800 ci rd 501's 1000+ ci G jd's. Hd800's over 1300. All running 3000rpm or more.
Out of curiosity, what would be a good ballpark guess for the cost of a top running Div. V tractor?
